I just noticed my receiver mounted Skinner peep was loose today and had to tighten it up. I was wondering if I needed some blue loctite? Any advice?

In the movies, you never see a cowboy pausing a gunfight to tighten the screws on his six gun 
, but the screws on my Uberti/Taylors SmokeWagon .357 SAA (especially the ejector rod screw) still loosen after a couple hundred rounds, even after a proper application of Blue Loctite. I'll give Purple a try.

These are the Loctite differences. Avoid red, it's fairly permanent.
