I have used Howard (Policeluger)'s method (judicious stippling at the dovetail base surface with a prick punch, with much success over the years to tighten a loosened front sight blade in a dovetail.

I had not thought of Ron's method, but I am sure it would be helpful... as would the appropriate type of locktite...

My rule is never file a sight dovetail unless it is a brand new one that you are creating...
