well that is really worth looking into.. i was gonna paint the front sight white. i would rather go with the sticker route. i dont have much of an issue with the sights now. you just line the top of the front sight with the rear so all is even and blam. but, these stickers will make this alignment quicker for sure.

The only down side to these nitesighters, like any "light gathering sight", is that they don't "hold their charge" too well if holstered in a dark place. They don't glow nearly as well as if they had been in bright light (about 3 seconds under a flashlight will make them pop however). "Please hold on Mr. Criminal while I charge my night sights."
Because of their color though, I do like them during daylight.

true but even in the daylight or night you still see them better than the factory slide milled sights are that are on them now..

take it to your machinist/gunsmith.... you can install a set of small GI 1911 rear sights (they usually have a drawer of take off sights),mine came off a small LLama or Star.. you will possibly need to open up the notch, and cut down the height to get point of aim hits... a ball end mill cut on edge makes them look better... with my 3AT I get a

I have been debating doing just exactly that. Glad to hear that it has held up. I think that I will try a fat brass bead first, and then try with one of those over-bead glue on XS night sights for a vent rib barrel.

Glad to have helped out!
+1 more.
im going to have to order some more, may end up doing the whole dept!!
i am telling you i love these little sights. just the white alone helps me bc as you know the milled sights are all black. with the white atleast i have a quick reference and can come on to the target faster
