I'm looking for a recommendation on the best night sight replacement for a Ruger SP-101 357 mag revolver with 2.25" barrel. The factory sight is plain black and totally useless at night.
Anyone have personal experience doing the replacement? How were the results?
I'm seeing a lot of different opinions out there on the internet. Some people say this is easy to do yourself. Others say you need a gunsmith. Some people say it massively changes point of impact. A lot of different suggestions on which is the best brand to purchase (XS, Trijicon, Meprolight, etc.).
By the way, I tried painting the front sight with greenish-white glow-in-the-dark paint. First few shots out of the gun blew all the paint off. Maybe I used the wrong type of paint?
What do you think?
