Snubnose Sight Paint

Yeah, I know these aren't "aim-carefully" designs, but the front sight on a DuraCoat'ed Agent can flat disappear.

It doesn't disappear now.

Looks good!

Another choice is Testor's fluorescent orange, available in hobby stores.

Looks great! What did you use?

Oh no Doc, you mean you didn't use the high-dollar paint specifically designed for application to firearms, but a bottle of 89¢ model paint?? Isn't that, like, sacrilege or something??

Seriously, it looks great Doc!

Over the years I have probably painted more sights than you can shake a stick at with model paint. I used to use the orange paint that I got as a kid when I built my model of the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard.



Have also used a super bright white that almost glows at dusk or with any little bit of ambient light source. Sure makes for a lot quicker sight acquisition!!

wow , that model car looks so life like .
i guess the model soda machine and model buildings add to the realism .

Guess I should have added the disclaimer: Model not to actual size or dimensions.

Ive used my wifes nailpolish before on a set of heine sights just to get a faster shot off and although its not proper i believe that it helped a small amount to relocate my sights after a shot
