My wife and I purchased our first handgun for self defense and home defense recently. We got the Ruger SP101 with Target Gray finish and wood grips.
I think it is a very nice looking gun, and it shoots very well. Last night I was dryfiring with snapcaps in front of the TV and realized how poorly this gun aims in the dark, and I set out to correct that problem. I don't want to make any mistakes with this since the gun is brand new and so nice looking.
I found some paint at the craft store that advertises that it glows in the dark. I was a little discouraged that it was labeled like it was for kids, but thought I would try. I didn't see any other alternatives. I came how and painted a stainles steel wrench. I'm gonna see how it looks. I also painted part of the wrench white. I'll paint the glow in the dark paint over it to see if I need to use white as a base. I'm able to tell that it glows VERY well, but I have two questions.
1. Do you think over time that it will NOT glow as well?
2. Do you think that because the color is so neutral, I will have trouble aiming in well lit situations?
