Browning 1911-22 Compact Range Report and Sights Question

I recently snagged up one of these from a fellow member here. Been wanting one for some time. Wanted to have a 1911 platform in a .22lr to teach new shooters various platforms without the cost and recoil of center-fire ammo.

The fit/finish is your typical Browning quality. I'm happy with the gun overall. Expected accuracy. Fun to shoot. Not one single hiccup after putting various brands of ammo through it. This includes the crappy Remington Thunderbolt. Two "gripes" I have: It is tiny. Small even for my medium sized hands. It took some getting used to on finding a happy medium on copying hand placement on a full size with it. Understanding there are conversion kits out there for full size 1911s, I'm a big opponent of them to use on my guns. Also, the size helps some people to ease in to the mechanics of shooting first.

The other gripe is I don't like the sights. The front isn't dovetailed so I'm guessing any upgrades will be few and far between. Anyone have suggestions? I think my best option is to get some flourescent paint of my choosing and call it good.
