Red loctite is rather permanent. Blue loctite would likely be a better choice

Why would you think that would change your sights?  It won't.  As suggested non permanent thread lock or just tighten it more.  ;)

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

A lock washer and a flat washer together and moderately firm torque will eliminate the problem. No need for locktite at all.

And like Larry said, you're sights will be unaffected.
