A little more progress. I was able to get the batteries in place. In hindsight, I should have gone to down to the drug store to get some hearing aid batteries, but I was stubborn and used the larger 2 ... |

That blue light makes it more unique.
Thank you! I like the blue color also. I wanted it to stand apart from the normal PKD. |

Here's a little time lapse of me wiring the LEDs. Don't judge me too harshly, I'm a noob with electronics.

I succeeded in getting the LEDs to work properly with an on/off switch. I just need to finalize the power supply. There isn't much room to work with inside the handle so I have to use button batteries ... |

Thank you for the offer! I actually have a total of four real ones. This project gave me an excuse to use one. |

The binding post that is on the gun at the moment is the large one from an EE-8 radio. It fits with the beefier size of the gun. What type of upgrade do you have in mind? |

So I got this idea in my head that I wanted to add an LED to the sight rod. It has this perfect spot for one so I drilled out the hole to make room. Then I drilled two smaller holes on the back to all ... |
