Long term project on the bench. Trying to decide if I want to paint the the front sight a radically different color than what the red dots usually option.
Traditionally I have used safety orange, but this paint-pen yellow seems pretty interesting, and durable.
So let’s give it a few weeks, practice with and without the red dot, and decide over time if it works well.
Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Marky
