no posts on this forum for four days! i'm sick of it. lets talk about p11's! these aren,t $800.00 pistols. surely someone has a problem. if you can't say something bad, say something good. lets talk about sight improvements.
went to "gander mtn." and bought a jug of flourescent jig paint. ( my eyes are getting old.) came home and took some "gun scrubber to my p11 sights. then an x-acto to the little white dots in my p11. presto, black sights! with a very fine artist's brush i "dripped" the paint into the recesses on my sights. (very thick) i built it up with 4 applications over a day and a half, to the point where it exceeded the level of the sight base. the paint actually protrudes. ( you don't "paint" it, just sort of dab or daub it in.) i used my wifes hair dryer between applications.
the resultant buildup is compressive and you can press tbe dots down to be semetrical while the paint is still pliable.
this made quite a difference for me. it seems the "nodes" while not flourescent are more visible, pick up ambient light, and seem to "jump out".
the paint does not flouresce nor "glow".
