My habit for staking a standard front sight into a 1911 slide is to cut a
shallow groove on each side of the tenon and dip it in a little JB Weld
before it goes in. Use a small round burr or stone in a Dremel to cut
a well into the underside of the slide to let the tenon spread out when
it's staked. Haven't lost a front sight in years.
