Front Sight Hood Loose

[Pilsner]

After removing my front sight hood to install a fiber optic sight, the hood is now loose, wants to slide off. Before I get stupid with it, just wanted to see if there is a preferred way to secure it better? Thanks.

Try a drop of blue loctite.

does the base of the hood slide into grooves cut into the front sight .. .. that is the way the one works on our Winchester Model 94 .... it is held in place by spring tension from the design of the hood .... over the years I've occasionally squeezed the bottom edges together a bit to increase tension .... you have to be careful or you will change the hood's shape .... a few years ago I put a drop of super glue in the groove on each side ... it held for a good while

Thanks, maybe I’ll try a combo of both suggestions. Just wanted to see what my options are. The fiber optic needs the protection of the hood. Appreciate it!

That is the hood that came with the HiViz, correct?

Mine broke not long after I mounted it. My Walther Terrus came without a hood, just the sight. Those tubes are a lot tougher than you would think, but yeah it's nice to have the hood. Also, mine was never as tight (hood) as the original.

You Know I’m not sure I need to go back and look at the bag I packed all that up in. Thanks.

The one in the pic is definitely the HiViz hood. You can tell by that "texas stadium" opening in the top. In fact mine broke when it hit on that opened area which is actually I weak spot.

But here is the way they ship the Terrus (no hood) and think of all those pistols that don't have hoods. You don't hear of those tubes falling out.

The only thing I like about the hoods is I think they look cool

All my hoods come off when I get them home.
