Hiya Smokey and thx for the thread, looks like ya got it sorted out. I also preferred the green to the red,altho most of my shooting is indoors so it does not have the pronounced effect you get outside. I seem to recall having to buy two different sizes 1mm and 1.5mm, over the years. And wish I had left the extra rods in a range bag. Haven't show my long slide since it popped out at the range,and odd the gun store at range dosent stock any. And keep a bic and cutting tool packed with it. Cheers.
