Used one for years for pistol shooting. These days, I just paint the sight black.

Have used the aerosol sight black. Works good and easy to apply in the wind.

Ballards may be weaker,

I keep a felt pen in my shooting box, and use it to blacken my front sights.

    Most target sights are hooded, and don't need blacking.

Yep.
The one on the left is a backup and never has been lit.
The one on the right with the larger reflector works just fine and dandy, and I even use it to take a stroll around the back 40 at night every now and then.      Smiley

Haven't tried the spray on stuff, and as my eyes see things, the felt pens and paints leave a sorta reflective "tint" instead of a good dull flat black.
  
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading, the few who learn by observation, and the rest who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Used the spray on black when shooting musket matches in Oregon and Canadia.  Back when I could see a front sight blade.
