Charlee , what brand of paint is that ? Looks great man .

[Charliee530]

Thanks Shootin X's!!
The paint is called SiteGlo. Purchased from EBay. It is the Color scheme, Yellow during Daylight and Green in Dark. The Paint glows for quite a while after being in light and was easy to install.

Mine sits in a gun vault all day on the nitestand , was curious how long it glows after a little time under the lite .

[Charliee530]

The paint glowed for about 2 hours after having it in direct sunlight. It made low light conditions a 1000% better just with the yellow day color of paint.

I tried to view your pictures this AM. got this from Photo bucket. http://s1123.photobucket.com/albums/...er_media_share

when you carry this pistol does the paint go dim, because your pistol is in the holster unable to get the required light to keep it bright?


5.56 the paint wont help you much if you wear reading glasses, because you Will be able to see the sight, but not the target, ask me how I know this, I wore trifocals for years, you can't imagine what a problem this can be. just had cataracts removed from both eyes, in the last 3 months, have not tried to shoot yet...... ..

[Charliee530]

Yes, the paint fades out after a couple of hours. But I am happy with it especially in low light conditions. And I wear glasses and I have no problem seeing target.

I think I like the chartreuse better than the white.

I tried white and at the outdoor range it seemed to wash out, the same thing happened with red. I might try the chartreuse. Let me know how it works out for you.

I initially painted my front sight white. But, that didn't work well when shooting at WHITE targets.

I settled on Hot Pink.

I put a little white finger nial polish on my front sight only and it worked great.

[Charliee530]

The paint on the front sight has made all the difference in the world in low light, dark conditions. The yellow color during daylight has made acquisition of targets much better!!

At first i painted mine highviz green then i took the slide lock and safety and hammer out to polish them and i polished the top of the front sight at same time rest of gun is parkerized but highly oiled so it dont look so dull.
