RammerJammer Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I can't stand the white dot and white U on the rear sight of my Glock 23. I intend to replace them with all black at some point but, at the moment, poverty dictates another solution. Is there a proven way for me to completely obscure the white while keeping the integrity of the sights? I tried crayon but want them completely obscured.

Don Springer Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) I think most people use a sharpie. Never bothered me but I've thought about doing it just cuz. edit to add... Just noticed the integrity part. If you wanna just try black sites without ruining them try some black electrical tape cut to shape to see if you like it. If it works for ya then black 'em out with a sharpie. Edited December 10, 2011 by Don Springer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.roberts Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you've got the new(?) screw on front, I'd turn them around. If not, I found a sharpie to work well enough. Not perfect, but loads better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammerJammer Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 I'll try the sharpie. I just don't want dull white sights if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Flat black model paint. It is great, and lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Don't rub on the crayon... melt it on... Later you can melt it back off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydiver Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Krylon Flat Black! Sounds good... but how do you get it off and preserve the sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Krylon Flat Black! Sounds good... but how do you get it off and preserve the sights? you spend the few buck and replace the sights. The rear sight can be flipped around for the black side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammerJammer Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 I took the plunge and used Testors flat black model paint. It is perfect. So far is has withstood my lightning fast draw. I don't think I will want to go back which is a good thing because I'm not sure it will come off. Any penny saved is more bullets and primers at this point so I think it was a good deal.
