I just done this, but on Glow Inc's web site they say its 24 hrs of glow. Its been 2 hours since application and it stil has a dim glow to it. Thats after hitting it with light for about 30 seconds if that.
 
CZ ships some guns with this on it. If you hit it with a bright light it's very good in the dark for 15 min then OK for another 1/2 hour then very dim for a bit more then just like any other site.
 
Phosphorescent paints usually glow well for maybe 30-45 minutes, they loose the charge at a greater rate early in glow, they get dim (or non usable) typically pretty fast.
as long as the weapon is in like an open end holster and carried on a belt type holster uncovered during daylight then they work great.
if carried covered I wouldn't count on usable nite light for more than 30-45 minutes.
True they may glow for hours but at such a low intensity that they are not practically usable for long periods.
