when using iron sights.. do you have a problem with the black sights on a black target.. have you tried to put white out on the post so you can tell where the end of the post is?
i dont want to do it on a range ... ( they are all going to laugh at me )
that and if i bo-low cause of the "new" site.. ( once again more laughing )
would it help? has anyone tried this?

I bought some day-glo orange testors model paint and painted the tip on my front sight. It works great!

I would with an brighter color like orange/yelow so dont have that problem while shooting at white targets

 

[Guest]

who cares if they laugh whatever makes you a better shooter, it will probably catch on and everyone will do it.

not too much as long as I'm focusing on the front sight.

I had to use the orange day glo stuff also on all of my handguns. I replaced my Heinie Pro Slant Straight 8 (or whatever order that is supposed to be in) with Tru Glo TFOs on my SC9 and now have the best of all worlds.

I bought the Ruger MK III Hunter with the FO sights for the same reason, but they don't light up as much as the TFOs. I didn't have any problem when shooting it at the gun fair prior to buying it, but I do now. I now wish I had bought one of their shorter barrel blued models and just put on a red dot like Rudy did on his Buckmark. Expensive lesson learned.

I can't afford the TFOs on all of my other handguns or I'd buy them. Sucks getting older.

Last time on the range me and another guy from my shop had a hot pink paint pen. We painted our front sight posts with that and shot great even at 500 yards where the front sight post is as wide as the target.

Smoke your sights with a match and it will lighten them up enough for contrast on darker targets.

If this is for rifle qualifications he may not be able to use those. I have thought about running a thinner/fiber optic after market front sight post on my issue rifle at the range but they don't allow this.

I used clear glossy fingernail polish, I've used white out, and have 'shined' the post to almost 'in the white' with caracass cloth, I've burned them, and I have also 'filed' down the the edge in my sight line to reflect more light...kinda makes a dot on its own....
