Warren rear sight rusting

[SecretNY]

Hey guys, I run Warren's on both my Glocks and recently we have had a bunch of rain and I noticed my rears are starting to rust right at the base. What can I do to fix/stop this from happening.

Thanks

Uh...gun oil?

I knock the rust off with a toothbrush then coat the surface with oil. I've been dealing with the rust issue and Warren sights for a few years now.

probably my only complaint about warren sights are the fact that they rust easily, I clean them often and keep them coated with some CLP

First time I had to deal with this issue. Thanks for the replies.

A little Militec 1 applied and hit with a heat gun does an even better job of preventing rust than normal gun oil. That's the one nice thing about the factory Glock night sights; they are tennifer coated so they don't rust like the aftermarket sights can.

I think Todd mentioned that they were doing something different on the newer ones to address this issue. Both of my Warren rears have rusted too.

Eezox is the best protectant I've used.

• Eezox, as Lil'L said, has often been proven to be the best rust preventative.
• Earlier Warren sights had finish issues from time to time. Eezox is probably the best solution. If it really bothers you, contact the manufacturer.
• For a while now, they've been using a different company to provide the finish and I've not heard any problems with the improved version.

I just had a set installed on a G17 two weeks ago. The rear sight is indeed rusting on the base.
