What do you use to black out the sights on your open sighted guns? Specifically revolvers. I have used soot from burning tape and find it excellent but not durable. Anyone have a good flat black something with some durability that they apply to their sights?

A Sharpie or finger nail polish. The stuff women put on their nails will survive Armageddon.

Have tried sharpies and find them a little too glossy. Have used orange nail polish but have yet to find flat black. Maybe Amazon?

A burning candle will provide all the black you need, where you need it. And when you're done, it comes right off.

Guess you missed the part where the OP said he was looking for something durable ? Pays to READ before responding.

Creedmoor sells a new paint that sucks and holds light like a black hole.! I’ll try to post a link when I have a chance.

What style of front sight are we talking about here?

Mix a small amount of talcum powder into gloss paint and you'll have flat paint.

I just spray flat black krylon in a paper cup, and brush it on the sight. Fairly durable and cheap, since I always seem to have the paint in the shop!
