sights - on T/C
 
Do any of you have any recommendations for increasing the visibility of the front sight on a renegade, I have thought about painting the bead or drilling and inserting a fiber optic but wanted to see some opinions before I do anything
Thanks

I have changed both the front and the rear sights on my Renegades to TC fiber optic sights...

How do you like them, do they show up well in lowlight conditions<

I use a globe front sight with changeable inserts but a spot of white paint would probably work

I have used a toothpick to put a white dot on traditional T/C front sights. Dip the toothpick in white paint, and apply to the front bead by tapping a round white bead. This actually works quite well. I have also used T/C fiber optic sights to replce the factory originals. I do not recomend the older style T/C fiber optics. The top of the rear sight moves, and it is just a cheap set-up. Williams Sight Co. makes the fiber optic sights for the newer T/C MZ's, and these are much improved. They also can be had, to replace factory originals.

I ended up using an iridescent paint. I took my dremel and a small drill bit an put a small dimple in the front sight. I did the dimple to hold the paint. It works and it is very simple to do.

Oh yeah, I used the orange paint. By using this setup my gun stays in a traditional configuration. That would make those purists happy!!!
