Reducing reflection

[BlackPlastic]

Hi there.

Any suggestions on reducing glare from stainless revolvers while hunting, without resorting so something permanent like Duracoat or Gunkoat?

Pulling a nice shiny handgun from underneath your ghillie suite might give the game away!!

Thank you.

nicely cut strips of masking tape?

I put some camo tape on a stainless barrel of one of my rifles.Works well. You can get it from most archery shops.
I also got some spray paint (RUST_OLEUM speciality camoflage, very flat colours) from a hardware store to camo some shooting sticks I made and it looks great. Haven't tried it on a weapon, but I suppose it will come off with thinners.

camo tape-rolls become extremely sticky (ontop) and pretty useless after some use.
the glue (bottom layer) becomes useless and the tape is so gooey/mushy that it wont stick anyways. the glue also leaves nasty dirty gluemarks afterwards.

I've bought this for shiny guns:

It's reusable.

that's the stuff i'm talking about. reusable, if kept pristine.

I am just throwing an idea out there...can't you have the rollie sandblasted to a matt finish?

I've seen ghillie covers for rifles, why not for a handgun?

You get the one that's reusable (i.e. roll on / roll off) and you get the semi-permanent one that's more like duct tape. They kinda look the same.

Leave it on, take it off, reuse or replace it in toto, it's pretty cheap and you should get quite a few usages from a single roll on a rollie (depending on how much you hunt in a year).

I've had the tape on my barrel for 3 years now, does what is needed.
