Grip Screws on Kimber Super Carry Pro

This is my first post to this forum so bare with me. Just bought a Kimber Super Carry Pro a few weeks ago as my carry weapon of choice. I absolutely love the gun but I do have one issue. Every time I shoot, the screws on grips seem to back out making the grips loose. I've tried to tighten them but I'm afraid of tightening them too much and risk cracking the grips. I was considering using a small amount of Loctite on the screws but I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

You can use a small amount of blue threadlocker. I like the Loctite stick version, but the liquid works, too. Other people put a small oring on the screw before inserting it. I haven't tried that, my understanding is that #60 size works(SAE 1/4 x 1/8 x 1/16 th (inches)) or there is a fancier version here:

Awesome. I'll try that. Thanks for the quick reply
