"old" taurus 66 - rear sight

I am wanting to change my rear sight on my old model 66 but am not sure if i can? I have not seen anything out there. The eyes are not liking the black on black sights as much anymore, must be the age factor.

Think nail polish.

Works well. You can just buy sight paint too. It's grossly overpriced but works.

I went to the craft store and pick up a bottle of yellow "Testor's" model paint. They
make fluorescent colors too. It was less than $2 if I recall.

All the Best,

The paint/nail polish idea was exactly what I was thinking too! Might be best to remove the sight from the revolver and secure it to a suitable work station. Get some "Painter's Tape" to keep the other parts of the sight unblemished. I've been thinking of doing the same thing. My idea is put a fluorescent outline around the rear sight notch. I have a newer 66 (7-shot) and the front sight blade has an "orange-ish" insert that, to be honest, is kinda lame. Been thinking of brightening that up a bit too.
As an aside, just how much of a "goat rope" is it to be able to purchase, possess, carry and/or actually shoot a handgun in Canada?
