Laxman2809 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 How do I attach this thing so it will stay on, but without permanently attaching it to the gun. Is blue loctite safe to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkheard Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yes. Be sure that the threads are scrupulously clean and it’ll last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Use red. Not blue. Just warm it up with a heat gun if you ever need to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I used a ball endmill to put a detent hole in my slide. I then sank the original set screw down into the detent until tight. I added another set screw on to to lock them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selecw Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Put an EGW on it. The latest version has a bigger set screw and stays put without loctite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Or a shooters connection sidewinder which is basically identical to the EGW but only costs $24.99 for the polished/finished version or $19.99 for the unfinished version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking I'm going to do this. However I need to wait until the ShootersConnections Finished is INSTOCK again. Its my understanding that the unfinished slide racker is missing the set screws.

I'm using one in a CM now, and love it. Way better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, maybe I will go with the unfinished one if it does have the setscrew. Let me ask you this, does it allow you to mount the racker to the left hand side.

You still have to remove it to take the slide off, but I've never lock tited the set screw or anything and it's never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy the unfinished one and then polish it so it’ll look nice. Heres mine mounted on my TSO. Edited September 12, 2019 by George16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the sidewinder and it got loose every match even with blue locktite. I drilled a detent in the center of the slide cut and had the screw sit in that. The problem is fixed, it has not fallen out since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 @George- are you shooting your TSO in Open Division, or is that just a range toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a range toy. I shoot PCC and just started shooting carry optics after getting the tungsten grip module for my X5.

Or you pay a little bit more to EGW to get it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be easy enough to drill and tap at work but might just order the egw and be done with it. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
