I had a good friend say the same he used 2 part epoxy on a rilfe scope mount that kept coming loose !JB weld it on.
For sure everyone should do exactly what they want, cause Merica! For me Optics are the way and any issue that could be, are alleviated by Co-witness.
No batteries needed with a Holosun SCS either. Every optic I have co-witnesses with the irons. I change batteries once a year whether they need it or not. Costs me about $20. Never had one fail. For any reason.
If you are putting loctite on the screws you are likely over torquing them (until the loctite sets up it is nothing more than a lubricant). Over-torqued is just as bad as under-torqued (BTW is your wrench calibrated?). It is also possible that the optic plate and slide plate are not completely flush. If they are not then upward pressure could being applied to the screws each time you fire. Also, just like lug nuts, optic screws need to be tightened gradually (take each one up to 1-2 in. pounds, then each one up to 3-4 inpounds, and so forth. Good luck!
Potentially forever.
Agree
Lots of people may use them on there CCW gun, but I am not relying on a battery and such in case the time I need it, battery is dead, dots have there place, don’t get me wrong, but personally I don’t think on a CCW gun…..yep, I think my SCS's say 10000 or is it 100000 hours, and recharge on any light source... If/When they do fail and were I needing my gun at that precise time, I will use the co-witness iron sights during that event, then go buy another optic.
Optics like firearms are as good as the engineers that make them.
And you can manually top it off with a solar watch charger any time you like should you feel it hasn’t “seen the light” quite enough. All my current optics are SCS and none have had an issue. The only one optic that I owned (not an SCS) that had an issue, the front glass came out while shooting…just like I’ve had a couple of IRON front sights fall off while shooting, as well as rear IRONS coming loose. Nothing, really, is infallible.
Anyone who likes the idea of a "dot" optic but is wary of batteries, should checkout the new HIIZ Fastdot H3.Agree
Iron sites have worked for me for over 30 years, personally I don’t need the change, but yea, several dots don’t have a battery or they are solar charged capable, my 2 Springfield’s, Hellcat and XDm Elite compact came with dots, there still in the boxes
i only been into this sport/hobby, for 4 years now, and have yet to invest into red/green dot sights.
Birthday is battery (replacement) day!!!
Go to the HIVIZ site and checkout the FASTDOT H3. You may be surprised (in a good way).
Saturday it will get run hard few hundred rounds , let’s see if it holds !
