Are the stock sights on a CM9 called Straight 8 style? Just wondering, because I love them. My 57 yr old eyes don't pick up the sights on my PCR and Rami as easily as they used to. Yesterday I shot my new CM9 for the first time (had one a few yrs ago) and I was able to pick up the sights much quicker. I'm thinking about blacking out my rear sights on the CZ's and painting a white dot to make them like the CM9. Any reason why I shouldn't ?

I think you'll find them ( i ) more often called "bar/dot" or "dot the i" vice the "Straight Eight" ( : ) of Heinie fame.
As to rest, I agree with Bawanna. If the paint doesn't hold up try http://www.nitesiters.com/

My old eyes also prefer the bar/dot sights. I recently blacked out the 2 dots on the rear sights of one of my compact pistols and "painted-in" a bar instead. I used one of the white luminescent paints. On another pistol I used bright pink finger nail polish for the bar. And no, the finger nail polish was not mine,I borrowed it from my Daughter-in-law.

You can't afford your own nail polish? How sad is that. I found the most charming Lavender shade the other day and I think it's truly my shade.......um too much information.

Close the closet door on your way out will ya?

I like the dot the I sights myself............................so much so, that I put XS Big Dots on a firearm I own, same thing only larger. I use Testors paint for any/all sight changes.

Close the closet door on your way out will ya?I got nothing, no witty reply, no comeback. Once again checkmated by the Grand Master.
But, however much I disagree with your color choice, I will absolutely defend your Constitutional right to go to the closet any time you need to.
