I just wanted some opinions on if I should remove this paint or not...I thought it looks cool, I can definately find my front sight easier!    What do you think?

| Hate to be a buzzkill, but take it out on a sunny day and look at targets with it.. I have found that there is almost no good sight color for all targets. If you only shoot at black bullseyes, then cool, if you shoot at say, Bowling pins, or white painted steel targets, you may be disappointed. |
+1. Looks good in the house, but it probably won't in bright sunlight. The only color I've found that's useful oudoors is blaze orange on the front post (for my S&W 629). It's easier to pick up in almost all lighting conditions. The trick is to pick a color that doesn't look anything like any backdrop you might imagine. |

I will admit the contrasting bright colors look good in the subdued light of your living room. But in bright sunlight both colors will look white which will blend in perfectly with the white paper the black bullseye is printed on. Same thing with bowling pins,milk jugs,or any other light colored target. Even the dirt or sand of the back stop. So you won't be able to see the front sight or notch or line them up. If you are having any problem finding the front sight it is time to break down and make a appointment with a optometrist. |
