How to reblacken rear sights.
I have a set of RHT sights on my glock (Fibre optic front with backed out rear) I've recently noticed that the black finish has started to wear off a bit. I am looking into repainting the rear face of the rear sight with some matte black model paint but first would like to what others have used to do this.

I have no idea what Glock sights are made of or what they look like, but for steel you could use a cold blueing/browning product. Something like Ballistol Schnell-Brünierung.

Birchwood Cassey Perma Blue.
I have used it on my brother's rear sight on his Glock and on a replacement safety on a CZ 75. Clean the part properly and de-grease it, apply with a cotton earbud, rinse of residue in clean water and repeat a few times. It gives a nice black finish that seems to hold up well.
But before you do it go and shoot the gun and see if you actually NEED to re-blue the sights. My EDC has a brown / black / greyish (RHT) rear sight that shoots just as well as a brand new one...

Re: How to reblacken rear sights.
Im actually going to get my Dawson precision rear sight cerakoted at Simms arms in Uvongo end of the month when im there....
It doesnt really affect performance, but I prefer to have them black, and stay black
