DefaultFirst customization of my recession buster .40 caliber

I was bored, so I decided to give my utility sidearm a bit of customizing...







It's still ugly, but now it's tan and ugly.

Thanks.

I just did the rear sight housing. The contrast actually helps me with quick pickup of that rear ghost ring sight.





The ugly Hi-Point isn't quite so ugly anymore.

Says you.

Honestly, it looks a hell of a lot better with the tan. Now you should paint the bottom of the mag bright yellow and put a NiCad sticker on it, or maybe DeWalt.

I used some heavy duty "flat earth" krylon paint. I sandpapered the areas first to give something for the paint to "bite" onto.

Cool, since I have 2 exact pistols I always have some tape on one so I can differentiate, never thought of painting the grip,might go for it...
