Hi Viz glow in the dark paint

Boriqua · February 2, 2007, 09:23 AM

What kind of hi visbility glow in the dark paint has been tried on the rear site. I have a S&W 586 L comp that comes with a black adjustable blade in back and a bladk site up front with a tiny vile of tritium. If I could just get a little contrast going with the black blade in back it would surely help my practice in teh darkish indoor range not to mention target aquisition in an emergency. I thought maybe the stuff they use for watches. Super luminova but I dont know how durable it is.

I use bright red nail polish. I know it's not high-tech but it is very durable. amazes me ladies paint this stuff on their fingers.

"Glow in the dark" stuff only works for the few minutes after you've pulled it from under a bright light.

The tritium front sight should be enough in a defensive situation.

For target practice, replace the rear sight with white outline, tritium, or fiber optic.

I am kinda diggin the Nail polish idea ... after I put it on the gun I can use it to make myself pretty !!

Seriously though the nail polish sounds great but why red. wouldnt a pearl or white work better?
