Couple of Questions

[2ninersavo]

Hi,
I need to ask a few questions. Thanks for any replies.
First, how tight is the front sight to be tightened? I know its small but it will take alot of stress from the recoil.
Second, I want to use either Trijicons or Meps, which one will give the the most light between the front and rear in daylight conditions. The guns will be a 17 and 19.
Thanks 29R

1) First, how tight is the front sight to be tightened? I know its small but it will take alot of stress from the recoil.

1) Clean all contact surfaces with alcohol and blast dry with canned air. Clean fingers with alcohol too & blast dry. Remember, alcohol's flammable!

Put a small drop of Red Loctite on all contact surfaces and attach sight. I tighten the sight 1/4 - 1/2 turn past finger tight with a wrench. Make sure any final adjustment is a tightening adjustment.

Clean off excess Loctite with Q-tips and patches.

Let sit 24-hours.

That's it! I've never had a front sight come loose!

2) Trijicons are the better target sights. Avoid solvents and scrubbing on the sight's white O-rings, as they'll wipe off.

Judy has Trijicons on her G19, and they've held up fine, plus they're great target sights!
