LCP sights?

[NSR500]

I was wondering, what some of you have done to your sights on the Ruger LCP? I find them hard to find in low light. Is there a good fix?

Flashlight...

EDC at minimum = Gun, Knife, Light, Phone, Money

Sounds to me like tits on a bull.....worthless. You don't need sights on the LCP.

This is what I am talking about. This is not my LCP though. It looks very nice.

Looks like a waste of money to me.

I painted my front sight with white enamel (rear kept chipping off). Made a big difference.

Funny thing is this little gun is more accurate than ANY tiny pistol should be!

Justin got it right, IMO.
I first tried the "nitesiters" and they keep rubbing off.
Then went with the "borrowed" white nail polish from the CFO (wife-) and that worked for a long while. But the white enamel seems to be the best solution so far.

I do like the look of the installed night sight but just can't bring myself to spend that much on this little bugger.

I thought it was just me. Until the third (and last) try. Good thing it didn't work as I hear the "nite" portion of the Nitesiters gimmick is, oops, you guessed it.

I first tested different shapes and angles with white out. Once I had my flavor picked, better paint was applied by toothpick.

The factory/OEM LCP sights are surprisingly accurate as is on mine.

I will have to give the enamel a try. Thank you.

Yeah my LCP is actually more accurate than I am (not saying much) but it shoots and points very well for it's size.
That being said, I would like some sights for it too.
It's my carry gun (when I can carry, which is basically when back in AZ or at home)

Leave it alone. Its a point and shoot not a PPC handgun. Had one and sold it to buy a Glock 26. Never looked back.

[Roccobro]

Last two ladies I had buy LCP's both had sub compact 9's first. They ended up not carrying them enough, so they bought and do carry their LCPs.

My LCP is just as accurate as my G26 at 7 yards. WITH the white front post.

I have the matte chrome model and the sights are visible just fine to me. I like them as is and wouldn't change them.

I was surprised at how accurate my LCP was the first time I shot it. I have really long fingers and strangely I shoot this little gun very well. I tried the pearce long extension then switched to the Ruger extension and ultimately found that I like the flush base plate the best. Definitely one of my favorite guns!

I was just the reverse. The LCP was too easy to carry. I felt I was under-gunned with the .380 as my only carry. Not so with the G26. The LCP is a great back-up. The LCP is a great back-up. Get the picture? My 2 cents.

A G26 is not even remotely in the same category of a pocket carry pistol as an LCP or even a Kahr Pm9. The G26's grip is way too fat for most people to pocket carry in a variety of pants.

Nothing against the G26, I'm sure its great for iwb carry, but I don't consider it a pocket carry pistol.

If your comment was intended toward me, you assumed that I pocket carry the Glock 26. Never said I did and never will. I just feel that the LCP is a great back-up and not a good primary carry weapon because of the caliber. To each their own. Back to the OP,do what you want for sights,its your handgun.

My point was you posted twice about your preference for a G26 when its not the same category as an LCP I didn't assume you pocket carried a G26 because they're not a pocket pistol, at least not for all pockets.

I carry every day also, and find I ALWAYS carry one of my pocket pistols versus strapping on and concealing an iwb carry pistol only part of the time. My favorite is my PM9 but it doesn't fit in all of my pockets hence the .380's like the P380 and Ruger LCP.
