Does anyone have any suggestions for either somewhere I can buy the orange tips required to put on guns these days or how to make them easily? I am planning on repainting a pistol this weekend and just trying to figure out the best way to sort the orange tip situation. I don't want to use tape or paint as I need something that's removed easily for photos and then I can put back on.

You could piece together two pieces of PVC, painted orange.

One end is smaller, and fits into the barrel of the prop, and the other is the same diameter, so it is flush against it.

Thus, removable and whatnot

Exactly. Kind of like a cork.

Painting a cork orange would also work I think. It might not look as nice, but it should work.

And if you are in a whimsical mood, you could attach a string to the cork, and tie the other end to the trigger guard.
