Red reflective tape on front sight
« on: April 17, 2009, 11:27:32 PM »
Want to pass on a cheap fix that I am very happy with.  For the past few years I have used the same piece of red reflective tape from Pep Boys automotive store on my R-9 front sight ramp.  It really makes the sight visiable, is cheap and stays in place (unless you get cleaning solvent on it) even though I carry my R-9 in a Graham front pocket holster every day.  I keep being tempted to have one of those nifty red dots machined into mine but I really doubt it would be as easy to see in a fast shot situation.  I think I'll save my money for a port job since I'm a wuss about recoil and like to put a lot of rounds through mine.  Aguilla IQ ammo solved my recoil problem but our friends at BATF have in their wisdom decided that we can't be trusted with it.  Anyone have any for sale?
