TerryYu Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've noticed when shooing my 92F that it's a lot harder for me to pick up the sights compared to say, a Glock with TFOs. Does anyone have any tips to make them stand out more? Mine are starting to get shiny from holster rubbing and I think that stray reflections off the sights are slowing me down.

Kyle O Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Some cold blue and a q-tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Different color front and rear sights??? When I shot Prod with a G17, I had a green FS and added orange dots of paint to the rear sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryYu Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Will the cold blue make them matte black again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Will the cold blue make them matte black again? It should. If not, you could hit them with some paint, or a white dot with a toothpick. I'm assuming the sight is fixed, and not in a dovetail or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryYu Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sadly it is in a dovetail. My SO tried to help me by repainting my sights with her nail polish, but she had some contamination and my front and rear dots are pink! Not the best color to pick up.

sroe3 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I keep a Birchwood Casey flat black touch up pen in my bag. I repaint my sights after cleaning or when they get shiny from wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxm142 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had Cylinder & Slide cut serrations in the front sight of my M9A1. Then I refinished the sight in ultra black Duracoat, so now it's a glare-free black beacon out on top of the gun. It's not a good as my E2 with the Dawson FO, but it's big improvement over the stock smooth blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kali Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) A forum member here drilled out the factory front to accept a FO. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=104512 I don't mind a little wear on the front sight as it can help define the edges. Personally, I've found the best way to make the sights more noticeable is to just look at them! Edited April 11, 2012 by Kali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Since it is dovetailed in get a new set of sights! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryYu Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm thinking of swapping out the tiny rears for some beretta novaks. I could even entertain the though of filing the front sight down a bit as it is wider than a barn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodencardboard Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 i used a dry erase marker i had laying around the house and blacked out my rear sight dots and made the front sight red. this way if you decide you dont like it you take a q-tip and some cleaner and rub it off and try a new color. its also suprisingly durable ive shot three matches with it on my sights and ive never had to touch it up. thats probably the cheapest way to change the sights.

Zagmp03 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 There are inserts on the market that you can glue/paint into the holes on the sights, different colors, whole nine...I've looked into them, but never did it because it's a little tough to get back I would imagine.
