P238 Contrast sights rubbing off?
I have had a P238 for a little over a year now (Feb 2011) and noticed the contrast sights are wearing off. The white dots, if you will. Anyone having this problem, too? If so what did you do to resolve it? Can I use paint marker? Or what?

Testors model enamel paint or nail polish. Use a toothpick to apply

I found the easiest solution is to just raid my wife's finger nail polish, had a assortment of colors to choose from. ended up witha bright red on the front site and it stood out really nice........... another option would be to replace them with Sig's night sights..............

I second the testors enamel. I used Bright red on the front sight. Works great.Jumping Frog wrote:Testors model enamel paint or nail polish. Use a toothpick to apply
