I sometimes shoot down the hallway (all safety rules observed).

Now, I have never had this issue with my open sighted rifles or pistols (some of the pistols have "plain" opens, others TruGlo).

But, two of my pistols are causing me issues. And they're both Crosmans. One a 1377 and one is my newly acquired Vigilante. Outdoors, no problem. However, shooting down the lit hallway, the foresight goes all "powdery / silvery" if that makes any sense? It must have something to do with the material / finish / angle of the surface facing the shooter, seemingly reflecting light and making it nigh on impossible to focus on the foresight.

I think that if I were to turn the lights off and just illuminate the target area, the issue would be resolved, but may not always be practical.

It's something I've never had to contend with in many years of shooting, but seem to remember reading years ago of some shooters applying Tipex, or similar, to the front sight? I'm half thinking about trialling day glow types of sticky tape first? Or maybe some luminous / day glow paint?

Any one else ever had to do this or can offer any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Tone.
