DIY: Home-made High visibility sights
Very simple tip on making that front sight more visible.
Sure, get proper high visibility sights with tritium for your main carry gun, go with these if you can:
TRUGLO TFX Pro Tritium and Fiber Optic Xtreme Hangun Sights for Glock Pistols
But if you want to try something that costs next to nothing then give this a try. Especially if you have several guns, backups and you don’t want to be spending a lot of money on getting fancy $100 sights for each.
In my case it was more about not modifying my revolver. My Manurhin MR73 is a work of art of a firearm and I’m not about to mess with it. But the target style sights are honestly hard to see in low light conditions with that black front post.
This is how it compared to the orange front sight on my Colt Python (left) and my home made one on my MR73 on the right:
This DIY High viz project is very easy. Follow the steps and watch the video.
1) Clean the front sight with rubbing alcohol
2) Tape around the area you plan on painting
3) Start with a base layer of white nail polish. You could give it a go with liquid paper if nothing else. Keep in mind that with nail polish you’ll need about three or four layers to have a good white foundation.
4) Paint on top with bright orange fluorescent nail polish. The brighter the better. There’s dedicated glow in the dark orange paint ($9) for this called GLOW-ON Orange Super Phosphorescent Gun Night Sights Paint.
5) Final step, once everything is dry use a coat or two of super glue. This will make the painted area far more resistant to chipping, holster wear and easier to keep clean.
6) Remove the tape. You may want to cut with a razor or xacto blade next to the tape, so as to not pull off the paint along with it.
That’s it. Give it a try. If you don’t like it its easy enough to clean everything up and leave it as it was before or give it another try.
