Sight colour
I was shooting irons the other day and the sun light was bothering me bad and I didn't have anything to blacken my sight with me. I was wondering if anyone uses just plain old flat black paint instead of sight black paint. I usually just fire up the acetylene side of my welding torch and use that at home.

How about a carbide sight smoker.

Hey, those are pretty nice. Thanks for showing me that, it would eliminate being extra careful when boxing and unboxing my 2 guns.

Birchwood-Casey Sight Black
I used to use a carbide burner but got tired of messing with it.
Bought a 1 1/2oz. can Sight Black at Perry, works great.

There is also a lighter sold for Anschutz that works great!

Also comes in pen form that makes it easy to pack for, and touch up while at, the range.

Re: Sight colour
the sight black will build up if you don't clean it off once in a while,
doesn't affect me, I am not that good,
however know a few masters that use it and stopped in highpower, and went back to carbide,
or go old school, and keep a plastic spoon in the range bag

I use a flat black dry erase marker. Easy to use, and convenient to store in the pistol box. Cleans off as easy as it goes on.
