IronRuger-

I don't like the DIY painted sights. Every single one I've seen, including but not limited to those of my own making, made the gun look worse.

I had better results from attaching a piece of fluorescent paper to the front sight. You will need a single hole puncher, the smallest there is, probably 1/32" or so. It is an inexpensive office tool. Self adhesive paper is easier to manipulate with a pair of small pickups. Using magnifying glasses helps to position the paper wad perfectly centered. A dab of gorilla glue, and you are set.
