I need front sight paint-Suggestions?
I have a carry pistol that has a black front sight. I need a paint so I can see front sight. Any suggestions? Thanks

No dovetail. I tried glow paint and it sucks

As said. I use nail polish. I use white first then after dry put red on over the white (I prefer Red). Then I take nail hardener polish and put over that, works pretty darn good. Last for a good while also.

I use Brian Zins method - a knife scratch on the front blade. It gives you a very small point to focus on, works well.
