I've got a couple of Smith & Wessons (686 6", 625 5") that I purchased new within the last 18 months. Both are great guns, extremely accurate, nice triggers. But they have a common problem. After I shoot each of them for 50 - 100 rounds, the screws on the side plate and the cylinder release latch start to back out. I hand tighten them each time I clean, and so far, that works fine. I mentioned this to my range manager and he suggested I put a small amount of loc-tite on each screw in order to hold it in place. I've not done that because I'm concerned that I might have difficulty removing the screws when I need to and also I don't know whether doing this would void the warranty.
Has anyone had a similar experience? And, what about using a little loc-tite to keep things in place?
