    big dot

    It definitely is. Not sure how the paint will hold up to holstering and cleaning. Part of me wishes that I had left the bottom of sight black so that the front lines up better with the back. I have a tendency to dot the I using the bottom of the now white front sight, which would mean aiming a bit high. Working on using the dot of the tritium window to dot the I. Plus it was easier and looked better to paint the whole thing. And it is more white surface to draw the eye.

    I've used Testors model paint on several handguns to aid my aging eyes. It works great. And because it is formulated to resist RC model airplane fuel, it stands up extremely well to cleaning, etc.
    I'll admit---I'm trigger happy

      my Being a noob to the sights on these kahrs.... like the o.p. i had some difficulty... windage was good.. elevation was a crapshoot.... then i did this...





      Result. Good. (My group is in the black ) The wife shot it for the first time. ( hence the scatter of holes on the outer areas). But was first time ever shooting. So. I was just happy she put em on the paper.
