If you ever buy any type of Heritage revolving .22LR, check ALL of the screws on it and add threadlocker for good measure.

I bought a Heritage 22LR/WMR revolver, one of the two screws holding the trigger and grip assembly fell out at some point, so it's wobbly now and I need to get another screw for it.
My brother bought a super fun new 22LR/WMR revolver rifle with the stock and the long barrel, he noticed loose screws at the same places.
Heritage guns are shit but they're fun though.

I had one of those until the plastic front sight fell off.

Heritage revolvers are sub $150 for a reason. They're not bad, hell, they're great for the money. Even with loose screws they're not that dangerous because they're .22. Seen plenty of old Heritage pistols that rattle in the hand that people still shoot. Every last Heritage pistol loosens up with age and use; even the old ones, especially the old ones. When they start loosening up, do a full teardown and locktite everything. Simple as that.

What is an appropriate threadlocker for grip screws? Loctite blue?

Ruger wrangler is a far superior option.

My rough rider 22 was 99 on sale 2 years ago, though. Beat that
