Cheap and easy night sights

Hey gang.

I felt creative today.

I came across some coloured flourescent plastic rod, and decided to make myself some budget night sights. If any of ya's feel like doing the same, PM me for my left-overs. I have more than enough for gun collection (to be).

First I removed the sights on my H&K USP.45.

Then I popped out the white plastic pieces and enlarged the holes to the size of the new plastic.

Next, I used a dremel / diamond wheel, to grind a slot to expose the tunnel, where the plastic pieces go. This was only to give a path for me,
to hand file the groove to the propper shape. This was done with a small round file (get'em at any hobby store).

I then applied some black paint, to cover the silver grooves that were just filed.

Last step was to insert the new plastic pieces,
and I secured them with a wee-drop of blackend-epoxy resin.

Easy & cheap!

No Trijicons, but good enough.

Sorry for the shite pics. My camera blows!
