In my Kimber 1911, I replaced the factory sights with the Truglo BrightSight time ago.
Very nice improvement WRT the factory sight, at least for a while.
Today, after printing a shotgun pattern on the target, I noticed that the front sight came loose.
Can anyone throw some clean way to fix it this way?
 
Re: Front Sight Coming Loose

I ended up peening it (slide steel was pretty fscking hard BTW) and using red Loctite.
Hopefully it will hold.
