Rear sight on my CS40 moves back & forth easily...
makes consistant groups rather impossible...

What's the best fix??
Was thinking Blue Loctite...
but I'm up for better options ;)

What your experiencing it somewhat common on the CS 40s. Lock-tite will work so long as you don't shoot the gun long enough to get the slide to hot. Heat is Lock-tite 's enemy. Drilling the rear sight and putting in a set screw will work the best. However Novak's sells rear sights that are already drilled and have the set screw and you can order one from him. Novak's .45 shop in Parkersberg West Va Probably easier to order a new rear sight. Or you can send the slide to Novak and he can replace the sight for you. Good Luck

Heat would be my problem, as I do tend to empty the mag rather quickly...
bad habits from competition shooting ;)
Last Saturday the RO was getting a giggle from me doing better on rapid fire body shots
than I did when taking my time & going slow on head shots...
chewed the center out of the body of the target...
head shots looks like a shotgun pattern...sheesh...I'm getting old...LOL
