For visibility I painted the iron sights on my revolvers, but damn they're still metal. Now and then I touch them up. I use alternating layers of white then fluorescent orange nail polish. Final coat is clear. For 3 bottles of what's basically laquer I spend about $25. Lifetime supply.

They could improve light pipes but as they are they really cut corners.

These sights are iron though. It's only the pipe that is plastic.

If you have an archery shop close to you, they would be likely to have any diameter fiber optic sight material you want, and probably in your choice of colors.


Who uses a front sight, anyway ?

Nice gat! Our tax dollars at work. :ROFL:

I have Ruger 1911s in .45 ACP and 10mm, would like to complete the collection eventually with a 9mm.

Edit: Shame about the front sight, I had a similar issue with the fiber optic on one of my 10/22 Takedowns. Also saw the video about the Failure to Feed - I'm sure the DW is very tightly fit. People say guns don't need a break-in period but some do..

Yeah, I'm not concerned about that. That will go away.

I have literally never had a gun not jam on the first day out. Even revolvers.
