Ok, my RAP402 pistol knocked the sights out first time I shot it...The little white inserts just popped out. There was one left in the back, and I picked it out with a dental pick...NO WONDER they fell out...They are just little rubber nubs that are poked in there. It picked right out and bounced around on the table.
Hmmm
Now what to fill those empty holes with? The holes are pretty deep, running almost the length of each sight.
What has already been suggested.
1. Pushing whatever color crayola wax you want into the hole, and smoothing it off with a pieve of cloth...Interesting idea, but I live in Vegas, ans I have seen what has happened to crayolas if they get left in the car. Not good.
2. Testors Model paint...I bought some...I was real excited too....Got flourescent green for the back, and flourescent yellow for the front. Bad thing is, the stuff shrinks like crazy when it is dry, so you have to drip it in there about 5 seperate times over the course of two days...And even after a few days of curing, it never hardens up completely. It feels rubbery, and picks out with a dental pick very easy.
This is driving me nuts, because I am sure there is a real perfect, obvious solution to this...but I am drawing a blank...I wish I could find some low heat meltable plastic in different colors...but I wouldnt even know where to start looking.
Any suggestions would be great.
ANd since the question "What is a RAP?" always comes up, Ill post a picture and here is some info:
South african current production pistol. 401=9mm 440=40cal
general copy of Astra 75. Really neat, quality, heavy single stack autoloader...I am very happy with it. (except for the sights.)
RAP is on right...next to SIG 228
