    Default OK manly men

    OK, who has used fingernail polish for sight paint and lipstick for a spotting compound?
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    I've used finger nail polish to water proof primers on rounds for our bang sticks with mixed results. I have had someone else mark my front site. But, I can't remember what they used.

    Can't say I have used those products before. I have used nail polish remover a couple of times to clean with. I am also a fan of taking condoms in my bag when I go hunting. If it rains, they make great muzzle covers.

    I believe my 357 is orange and I have a couple old 22 that I marked with some shade of pink or red. Stepdaughters sure look at you funny when you wanna borrow their fingernail polish the first few times! lol

    Asking to borrow is one thing. Standing in the nail polish aisle trying to decide over "Tangerine Orange" or "Siren Red"? Now that's bad.
    Actually I use white paint. I can see white dots better.

    Lipstick? Uh, no. Though it might make a good marker for putting a target spot on a paper plate in a pinch.

    How about wandering down the feminine products aisle looking for a small package of absorbent pads for your FAK?

    Never used nail polish but have used model car paint and a tooth pick to fix up sight dots.

    I don't have to carry anything like that since my lady won't step 10' out of the house without it and we're just about always together. I always tease her for carrying too much stuff but I never seem to mind when any of it comes in handy.

    I have used nail polish to paint my kids pinewood derby. Well, my kid did the painting, with mom's help. But it did a really good job of making a smooth and shiny finish.
