Black out

[MaconGuns]

Any of you black out the rear sights on a pistol.

Yes all mine, cmshoot i think is the one that got me doing that years ago. I think it was him lol

Yes definitely. It's much less distracting. I also credit cmshoot with the idea. Here's a past thread about it:

Not sure Id credit anyone here with this discovery though we have some old timers here and it may be possible. Older guns I've come across were already black and I've put a bit of model kit paint of the front sight to see it better.

I've done a couple blackouts in the past and did it with a gun I just sold and forgot to clean the sharpie off the rear sight. I decided to ask because I'm getting cabin fever and was considering doing some gun sight painting. Not sure I want to cover up night sights but I still have a few with basic 3 dots.

Yes, can't stand anything on the rear sights.

I prefer a tritium front and a serrated black rear with no dots or frippery.

I’m sure folks have been coming up with that combo for a long time.

You can also flip the sight around in some pistols.

Been doing it for years.

Any easy clean up paint suggestions for rear night sights.
