For fereva, I've used red nail polish with thpse little shiny aluminum flecks in it for my front sights. I think I still have the original bottle somewhere, probably dried up by now, but nowadays, all my carry guns have red laser sights. I'd like to try green but I've already invested in red.
The nail polish does not work well on the 1911.
I've noticed with the Crimson Trace laser on my 1911, the beam partially strikes the slide stop protrusion on the right side of the gun. Enough gets past it that the laser is eminently usable, but I wonder it Crimson Trace ever did anything about that minor problem
