want to paint the front sight of my Ruger mark 3, and maybe my snubbies...

what is something that will hold up pretty good? right now i have some liquid paper on my ruger. lol

thinking like a chartreuse (sp?) or orange...

fingernail polish. they make any color you need. yeah, I used it before on my front sights and not on my fingernails.

Been wondering the same thing, needed for my S&W 22A... Thanks for the advice... Think I'll try orange - like came on my Ruger Redhawk front sight...very easy to acquire quickly...

What are good offsetting colors? I got some hi-viz orange and yellow on my ruger 22/45. What would be a good color to offset it.
Black ain't really doing it but they are adjustable so I don't want to toss them.
Joe, those Hi-viz are kind of pricey but I think they're worth it if our going to keep that ruger, be the first you didn't sell for that extra 50 cents. Oh well, buy for a dollar, sell for 2.

I had the same problem (on a Ruger MK 2 handgun).

I bought the FireSights for a Ruger but they did not fit my model.

I read up on it at RimfireCentral and stopped by Fred's Dollar Store and bought some bright red nail polish.

Cleaned the sight with some solvent, let it dry and put 2 coats (drying between coats).

I'm tell you it makes a major difference.

How bout you get off that wallet and buy some tru-glo hi vis sights or some good night sights....

Been using red and or orange finger nail polish for years...Its OK for daytime use....SOL for nighttime however
