Anybody know where/if you can buy this paint privately? It would be pretty easy to add "night sights" without the hassle of replacing the existing sights. Just paint your old sights with the Luminova, hit 'em with a light, and voila! So any sources?

If you are asking about glow-in-the-dark paint, that can be found at any larger hobby/crafts store.
If you want real "night sights" with tritium inserts, get them from your choice of firearms accessories dealer.
Glow-in-the-dark paint isn't close to the same thing, first, you need to have a light source to charge them in order for them to work. If you have a light source, why do you need glow-in-the-dark paint? In an emergency, do you really have time to charge the sights before you need them?

I have tritium sights on a few pistols, and tritium fiber optic on a couple others. Luminova paint is is on the new HK P30 sights, extremely bright if hit by a light, much brighter than run of the mill glow in the dark paint.

Hey there SteveK, I just removed a set of those luminova jobs from my newish PO1 and replaced them with the real thing, Meprolight's. I then placed them under a bright lamp for 11-hours and they burned brightly for about 90 seconds........Good luck
