I black out all the white dots, white lines, white whatever. Or orange in some cases.

I find those colors distracting without any benefits.

I love the fiber optic sight, but colored inserts? Can't stand them.

 

If your rear sight is a stock Glock non-adjustable rear sight, I've seen some folks just take them out of the dovetail, turn them around, and install them backwards. Easier than messing with paint and such, and easy to "go back" if you want/need to do so. You might get some funny looks at the range if anyone notices, though...

 

I've seen some folks do that as well...this is a Gen 4 34 and the rear sight is indeed adjustable.

 

interesting, I've never heard of anyone doing that.

 

The Glock rear notch is narrower than a lot of aftermarket sights, so you may not get the same advantage that you would get with a Dawson rear.

 

I've done this with a permanent marker. Would be nice to have something that puts a flat black mark on, as the shine of the permanent marker catches the sun sometimes at the range.

 

Perhaps get a can of flat-black spray paint that is suitable for polymer/plastic parts, and spray it directly onto a small artists-type paintbrush, then use the paintbrush to (quickly) dab it on the sight (much better application control).

I've never tried this before on sights (but have used it on other small items that needed touching-up).

 

Smoke them with a lighter. Wipe the soot off as needed.

 

Maybe plastidip?

My mepros (green front/orange rear) are halfway through their 12 year half-life. Eventually,I want a Big Dot front, and don't really care about the rear.

 

Q-tip dipped in acetone, followed by 400 grit sandpaper followed by q-tip dipped in acetone.

 

I have never thought of this, but since I do Cerakote as my business I could probably coat them in Graphite Black.

I will have to see if I have some laying around to coat.

 

Birchwood Casey has touch up pens in glossy or flat black. I use them on my rear sights because I feel the dots or lines on rear sights distract me. The pens are available at Brownells.

 

Thank you WT, just the thing.

 

I found the white U of the stock sight harder to get a quick sight picture than three dot sights. For a test, I cut a small piece of high tack masking tape that would cover the bottom part of the U, and took a black sharpie to it. My thought was it would give me a chance to try a sight picture similar to a three dot without permanently changing the sight. After several months of carrying, that little piece of black masking tape is still on the sight.

 

I immediately replace all my Glock sights to an all black wider gap rear sight and either a FO or night sight front. I like Ameriglo and Warren/Sevigny brand sights.
Just my preference but I don't like dots.

 

I used a black sharpie. Can't stand the U.
