I have put 2500 rounds through my Colt 1911 this week and it has been some really good training.But now I have a problem__Both my rear and front sights are loose.So I was thinking of haveing some night sites put on it so I don't have to deal with the factory sights anymore.Have any of you guys had both your front and rear sights come loose from alot of shooting?It sucks but I had fun doing it.

Whare on the sights do I put the locktite?There are no screws to put it on.Do I put it in the dovetail?How about the front steaked in sight?Thanks in advance
I haven't shot any loose, but I had the paint on the front sight from my Star disintigrate in my face once. Good thing I had eyes on. I fired, felt stuff hit my face, went for a follow up shot and couldn't find the front sight (dark stall at the range).
I bought some blue lock tite for the rear sight and so far it has held up good.I have just left the front sight alone for now as it doesn't affect my shooting but I fear I will need to have it restaked some time in the near future.
for the front sight (staked), coming loose. I like dove tailed style like on my other 1911s much better. I've also had the original plastic front site on my Glock 23 pop off while shooting. I've since replaced them with aftermarket night sights.
Font sight, G22 within the first 100 rounds. Replaced with factory front, has been fine ever since. Next time it goes, it gets replaced with night sights.
