I have used glow on It works and stays on better than hobby store stuff and about as well as nail polish.
I presume you are thinking about a non hunting use.
If you are using on a rifle, don't expect a lot of precision. Shotgun use is fine for general antisocial work. On a pistol, I would say give a hard think to tritium sights. I like the ones with a high contrast dot around them like Meriglo operator or trijicon hd. Unlike pint they don't need to be exposed to light to "charge". A front sight only is about $60 on a semi auto and your gun shop will install them for free usually.
