Sight alignment

Years ago, I would use international orange model paint for such sight picture "improvements"

It definitely catches any available light, and comes off with a toothbrush and solvent when you don't want it there anymore. I would use a toothpick to put a small drop on the top eighth inch of the front sight blade, and then wipe it off with my finger leaving only the serrations on the back of the blade filled with the bright paint. This works well on any pistol (or iron-sighted rifle for that matter) that uses a front sight blade that is serrated on the rear surface.
