Calling on Pro Glock Armorers. Quick question.
Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2020 9:56 am
This is for Glock sights only.
I have a big debate going on here at the farm. My old mepro light sites on my Glock G26 seem to have lost their intensity, (22 years old), and I’m replacing them with some fresh new Trijicon sites. The debate is regarding the installation of the front sight. Which Loctite is preferable, the ones around the 242 to 246 range or should I go up into the 300 range? I’m being told up around 370 is the best Loctite for the 3/16 screw for the front sight. As small as that screw is, I don’t want to put anything too crazy hard on there, but I don’t want it to work loose from shooting either. I want it to be where I can still loosen the screw by hand without screwing anything up. And yes sometimes I do shoot to a point it gets pretty warm. Plus it stays in the hot truck during the summer days. If you’re a Glock armorer or have a lot of experience with Upgrading/replacing Glock sights, please tell me what you think.
