>>
I've been wondering this same thing. Trying to shoot at dark targets with irons is rough.
>>
>>28383800
Is there a reason you need to? Nothing bad about it, if you do a nice job, since sights come with tritium all the time.
>>
>>28383800
It'll flake off?

You'd be better off setting up a flashlight next to your target, or else getting real night sights

>Is there a reason you need to?
I find white sights a lot easier to use than black iron sights, especially since most targets I aim at are fairly dark.

hold on mr deer, hold on mr bad guy, let me put this flashlight next to you before I shoot at you.

I used a swipe of pic related to paint the front sight on the ole beat up hipower. Works great. Way easier to acquire the sights when you present now

>>28383826
Some people have hard time seeing black sight on black target

it feels gritty and i need to put some clear nail polish over it to help protect it

they stay way brighter than the tritium in my glock or kimber for about 5-10 minutes

still good after for about 20

then they are pretty much done

but they only take like 5 seconds to charge with a bright flashlight and its seriously night and day difference when i clear my house at night now
>>
>>28384188
what exactly is it?
>>
>>28384275
I used cotton swabs and cut a glowstick in half and applied it really carefully
>>
>>28383800

I cerakoted a front site to an AK I have. Works amazing my grouping improved.
>>
>>28384275
i got the medium sized vial of the brightest shit they had, which is plenty to do many more of my guns

>>28384463
coolio. thanks. i was thinking of doing it to a couple of my saturday night specials for shits n gigs.
>>
>>28384188

How would you compare it to just plain white in daylight? I got some Tru-dots for my PPS and they are MUCH worse than the white painted stock sights unless it's pitch black. I'll probably give this a try. Seems like a cool thing to have around anyway.

>hey let me break open these glow sticks and apply them to my sights before you shank me, okay? :)
