What would be the best type of locktite to keep the front site on a Ruger mark III from constantly coming loose?

What I have is a stainless Mark III, and the front sight screw won't last through even one whole mag without working loose, real pain in the ass at the range, and I just bought my wife one as well, and I've heard this is a pretty common thing with these, so my troubles are about to double.....

Is there some type of locktite that would be removable? I'm not ever planning on changing the front sight, but it bothers me to think I wouldn't ever be able to if something happened.
