You can get tritium key fob things also, you put them on your dry bags to indicate socks etc, within a larger dry bag obviously when you have a rummage.

Lanyard hole, make one through the grip between the frame...

About the size of a spare flint holder for a zippo, plastic with a glowing bar of radioactive waste whatever it is inside it.

Trit cylinders are really cool!

The hallmark of an obscenely expensive custom flash light is trits and trits everywhere.

They come in different colors. In case anyone wasn't up to speed on trit vials, they don't need to be "charged" with sunlight. They just sit there and glow for 8-15 years.

Sorry to bring back and old thread, but if you really wanted to make some, you could just use glow in the dark polymer clay. As you can see they glow pretty bright (albeit, the clay has to be exposed to light before it will glow, but still fun).

While I love my minis, they do not sit nearby at night. Why go to a small, low powered, difficult to control handgun when conditions do not merit it? My night stand does not care how much my gun weighs. For this situation, I reach for a .45.

It has been a while, but I was able to find a trit vial to go in the end of one of my flashlights on candlepower forums. A search should reveal a source for them.

Another option would be to locate or make some clear grips. Hollow out an area on the inside of the panels. Mix a healthy dose of  the Glow, Inc powder with clear silicone and use it to fill the hollowed out area. As you might expect, the higher concentration of powder, the brighter and longer the glow will last. I used this mixture quite effectively while waiting on my trit vial for my light.
Guns are a lot like parachutes:
