I use blue, on sight of scope mounts. In fact, the only place I use red, on my open gun, is the comp.

Red. Blue can come loose. Ask me how I know.

+1. I use only the red. Works great.

Red (271) for mount to frame. Blue (242) for sight to mount.

Red. I used to use Blue and I had a few issues with frame to mount. But, I would have no problems with what Pat said above.

If I need to remove anything with Red, I use a cheap Harbor Freight heat gun, being careful not to get it or surrounding parts too hot, and it will come right off.

Red on scope mount

I use red for everything now. Removal, if needed, is very easy if done properly. It just takes heat. I use a wood burning tool with a sharp point to heat up the screws when removal is needed.

Red on scope mount screws, and the first and second screw ( closest to slide stop pin ) will still break lose over time.
