LockTite "red" is a real bear in my experience. Without a LOT of heat to remove. A part put in place with red may as well be welded in place. I really think pistol sights (ie Springfield Custom Shop uses the stuff) the pistol would have to be destroyed before the sights would move out of alignment. Great stuff if the sights are "perfect" for you. A very hard job if you wish to re-zero the rear for your eyes.
