Gun sights

My father-in-law is thinking about altering his gun sights. I'm pushing him in the direction of luminesent paint, rather than actually replacing them. Any thoughts? Also if he does decide to replace them, does anyone have the tools or expertise?

Depending on the weapon yes I can. Why is he thinking of changing,and lum sights are nice especially if your eye sight is't 20/20.

i wouldnt paint your sights if that is what you are trying to say. getting lum sights is a different story. you really need a gun smith to do it. unless you gun is made where you can inter change sights on the spot.

sig 229 and a kimber. I don't know much, but I wouldn't go banging on a kimber unless I knew exactly what I was doing. When I move in the coming weeks, I'm sure you all will see him. Please bring it up if I forget to. He was showing me this awsome glow in the dark stuff they have. If I can find the link I will post it. There is actually this story on the site about cops who paint it on their flashlights. It appears to mellow out beligerant drunks as the glowing distracts them long enough to forget about what they are mad at.

Hey Jeff,
I just noticed this post. If your father in law can't find anyone down your way with the experiance to help and he doesn't mind driving all the hell up to Jersey.... My Sgt is a Sig Armorer. We have the P229 so I'd expect that he could do most work on it. He's also a wealth of knowledge on gun related topics.

Are you in the military? If you are, I never knew.

Nah, I was never in the military. I'd like to join the national guard but I can't afford the pay cut and especially the drop in medical benefits WHEN (not if) I got activated. My Department would drop my benefits as soon as they could.
