My older New Model Ruger Super BlackHawk is my favorite hunting pistol and is very accurate when i can see the sights. I have alot of problems in low light situations.
Does anyone make replacement adjustable sights that will show up in low light situations? Any type of "glow" paint available?? Any insight or advice would be appreciated!!

You should be able to go to any gunsmith and have a flouresent ramp cut into the front sight and install a white outline on the rear sight. I do not know if anyone makes a fiber optic for the SBH or not but the gunsmith should be able to find out.

I think Williams has just what you need.

Mag-Na-Port can install flourescent sight inserts and also has a white outline rear sight. I use the pink front blade which REALLY shows up.

Gentlemen, thanks for your replies. I'll check into Williams and Mag-Na-Port. Thanks, Skipper Miller

One thing you might try, before going a more expensive route. Get your archery store to order you small bottles of Fletch-Lac (by Bohning)in white, and whatever flourescent colors you want, and blue/clear. My personal preference is flourescent GREEN! You have to lay down a basecoat of white, followed by the flourescent, then a topcoat of blue/clear for durability. These paints are not affected by solvents usually used to clean guns. But, a little carb cleaner will take them right off. and, you will have enough paint for hundreds of sights. They are durable, and VISIBLE. Almost as much so as the fiber optic sights. Who knows, by now, they might have a glow-in-the-dark paint. I haven't bought any paint in years, since I quit cresting arrows. But it does work!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bug.
