I haven't tried a rifle yet either. I've done this to the two k-frames and this CZ. I don't see how it could hurt to put a dab on each front sightin the appropriate spot. This one was just getting so hard to see. I think it discolored over time.

The Cadet is the .22lr version of the CZ-75 auto pistol.

Did yours have a hole in the front sight? They sometimes collect grime in the hole and darken the paint. Otherwise that's a damn fine job of dabbing a round drop of paint right in the middle of that sight, Sikacz!

I have used this product. It is good but I can't say it is better than hobby paint or nail polish. However I have not tried the luminescent version of it.

Reviewers on Midway gave it 2.3 of 5 stars.

Other have recommended this. I have not tried it.

Yes. It is.
There's a small round depression. I cleaned it a bit with alcohol and then used a metal pick to dip into the nail polish. Just one blob and set it in the middle of the indentation.

Ya, the guy can come out of da nort, but snow has a way of sneaking back in, eh? ;)

[I need to find a book. One of the rifle marksmanship guys talks about painting the front sight and scratching a diagonal line through the white/yellow/orange. Maybe it helps with the way light makes the front post look narrower sometimes?]

There was a recent change so that ads 'self destructed' after some amount of time if not bumped.

Not about visibility per se, but about focus.

He paints the post yellow, and then uses a safety pin to make a scratch from lower left to upper right - somewhere near the top of the post.
The scratch in the paint now acts as a fingerprint. If you are focused on this scratch, you CANNOT be focused on the target.
