I've done hundreds of sight installs and the Gen 4 and newer Glocks seem to have larger slots. I don't remember this issue on the early guns, in fact you had to tap them in with a small gunsmith hammer. I sock them down, using Permatex # 2, as a thread filler, then use a small crescent to center them by using a 6" scale and check against the firing pin line up on each side. Never had any come loose using Permatex. And they are removable.
 
Glock front sight slots have been getting looser and looser over the last 15 years or so. Used to be you could tap in a new sight, Dawsons, Heinies, Tarans. But today, they are almost never tight. Having installed over 200 sets on Glocks, I can remember a tap in other than the early 90's Glocks.
