I read an article about TRUGLO and watched a few videos about it being used as a paint for the sights on pistols. I bought my Walther CCP a few years ago. A real nice ergonomic & accurate pistol. There are STILL no tritium sights available for this model.
I pulled the white plugs out of the existing sights, filled the holes with the TRUGLO paint, let it dry for the recommended 24 hours & sealed it with clear Gorilla Glue. They recommended super glue or clear nail polish on the videos but that just didn’t seem like a hard durable sealant. The clear Gorilla Glue dried & it will withstand rubs & holster contact ect…
It is supposed to glow for up to 8 hours after holding a 100 lumen led light to each dot for 30 seconds but in actuality, it lasts as an effective night sight for about 2 hours, then you have to light them up again which is not a big deal.
I am happy with the results. When tritium becomes available for the CCP, I will install them. All my semi -autos (I have 7 of them) have tritium sights. None of my revolvers do but I don’t carry them anyways.
THOUGHTS???
here is a link for one of the videos: Glow on sight paint review! - YouTube
I went orange on the rear green on the front.
I like that. The contrasting colors would be better. Thanks PossumSlayer1.
They say green for front sight if you’re nearing geezer hood I’m approaching!
Not expensive fluorescent dots.
If you are ok with up to 8 hr light, this is the best option.
Otherwise real tritium from Truglo is awesome.
You mean, like these? https://www.amazon.com/TRUGLO-Tritium-Pro-Glow-in-The-Dark-Handgun/dp/B071VMYNXH?th=1
Son of a BITC H!!! I’m on it like a hole on a doughnut!!! Thanks, brother!
Somebody is gonna have a busy Tuesday setting up new sights
Yes sir I have seen this video and IMHO I believe it works initially but for a short time. If you want something temporary by all means use it. It looks pretty bright like actual tritiums but will they last is the question.
I put this stuff on my PPS. It works really well and has been holding up for over a year now. I always carry a flashlight so it’s not hard to just give it a blast before I go for a walk at night to make sure I will be able to see my sights if I need them. Otherwise I also have Meprolight sights on my PPQ.
I found tritium sights FINALLY,! They will arrive today.
