1911 & TruGlo Fiber Obtic Sights

Front sight is loose on my 1911 and thought I'd try something different. Purchased a set of TruGlo Firesights to replace the existing sights. The rear sight will install without problem (dovetail and set screw) but the front sight poses a challenge. I can carefully remove the existing sight that is staked into the slide but the new TruGlo sight is a composite material that obviously will not like staking. Anyone suggest an alternate means of securing the sight besides epoxy?

And no TruGlo has not answered my request for info.

Truglo makes a metal set as well as a fiber (plastic?) set. If you have the fiber type then I would use Black Max locktite. The metal one should stake on. George
