    Loose pistol grip

    This isn't a major problem. But, after every shoot I go out on, I have to re-tighten my pistol grip to get it snug again. Any tips or tricks to keeping this thing tight?

    Maybe try a different screw and washer.

    Definitely, your best bet is to use a new screw and washer, and probably it wont hurt to try a pressure washer . Place a drop of nail polish in the screw threads (wait for it to dry completely before assembly) as thread-lock.

    Go to your local hardware or auto parts store and pick up a small tube of Threadlocker. This will solve your problem. Use blue if you may want to change it out in the future, and red if you plan on it being there a long time.

    Do NOT use red.

    Good correction Shihan...I should rephrase and say use red if you never want it moving...blue is heavily suggested. I've used both for many auto/cycle build-up applications, excellent product.

    If you you use the perm Loctite and need to replace a spring your in trouble. So it should never ever be permanetly attached.
