I have a 9mm Shield, but I don't like 3 dot sights. I am thinking of blacking out the rear sights, doing something to the front sights. What did you do? Also what sights did you change to.

I did the same as you for a while, then got the Ameriglo CAPS installed. I too, didn't like the 3 dot sight picture and these fit the bill.

Ameriglo SW-443 "Hackathorn" sights on my Shield. Rear is blacked out which my old eyes really like.

Right now, I'm running blacked out rears,(Sharpie) and florescent orange front,(nail polish). Didn't like 3 white dot either, and this works really well for me. If I made a change it would probably be either Ameriglo Pro I-dot, SW-245, or the new Truglo TFXs.

Anything from Ameriglo you will be happy with. Look at their options and pick one that you like.

Another vote for the AmeriGlo CAPS

This is what mine is wearing as well.

I also hate the white three dot stock sights. I have been looking at the SW-235 I Dot with orange outer circle with the green tritium centered on front sight and green trit dot in the rear. As our eyes Age, do you really think it would be better to just have blackout rear sights? Or just as good to have green rear?

Sorry rain song, this was meant more to SSFAReno

I have essentially the same setup except my front sight has the yellow ring around the tritium. A great combo.

For me, any glowing bars or dots or white markings, etc. on the rear sight draw my old eyeball right to it. So, now all of my carry guns have rear sights with no markings.

I run blacked out stock sights, or aftermarket black rear sights, on everything I carry.

And, I really like something bright up front. The Hacks glow in low light and really pop in the day light. I like them a lot!
