I just got a jcp yesterday and the back sights are like a dark red and hard to see can you get night sights or something lighter or any suggestions

 

[unscarred]

I just scratched the paint out, went to tractor supply and bought a syringe and put orange glow paint in it and filled them in myself.

A little dab of white out works great

Whatever color finger nail polish you prefer. Why buy new(expensive) sights when you could easily just fix them yourself.

I used white model paint on my C9.

I did the white out on my c9 and jcp but found a glow paint kit for $27. Thing of it is there is enough paint and different colors to do 100 guns. Local gun shop will do for $10 front and rear each.

I too, like the others, found the red rear sights to hard to see in subdued lighting. I found some day glow (not really flouescent) paint at WalMart (or a hobby shop if Wally World not available) and used a toothpick to dab a little 'green' on the rear sights. Liked the yellow on the front sight (C-9) as it makes picking up (aligning) the three sights much easier for me - and gives a contrast between front and rear sights. Had painted an orange ring on the front sight of my 995 for quicker target acquisition, but that was made obsolete when I added a Sightmark Red Dot. Shooting both is so much more fun now that I can see and hit the target!

I used a Nitesiter kit for my C9. It works great, great product!

Sharpie will work to. I never thought of the nail polish. Ill be getting some lime greeñ

 

[rammurph]

Nail polish worked for me. It is still on

 

[panoz77]

White crayon also works, or any color crayon for that matter. Cleans up excess with some mineral spirits

 

[Hoss230]

I, too, use Nitesiters on many of my handguns. Great product,and not very expensive. Try taking a look at www.nitesiters.com.

i retract my previous statement. nightsights ordered

 

[mcsert12]

my local gunsmith said white out will do the trick

 

[Relorian]

I used some glow in the dark nail polish the girlfriend had sitting around. Not the greatest fix ever but it gets the job done and if/when it goes bad, a quick rub with acetone and a reapplication will fix it.

 

[mcsert12]

ok so the white out was not a good idea it comes off easy, so i took some whit paint and used a q tip to apply it. that did the trick but it takes some time and a steady hand. DEFF WORTH DOING!!!

Those Nitesiters decals are da bomb-diggity. I'm going to have to ask for some for Xmas! Great tip.
