Title says it all. Do I use another program to make them or something?

Make a SLAB6 model with more detail than the gun you want to get the sights' for. Align it, then go to the Pallete, choose a color that makes contrast with the ironsights (e.g yellow if the weapon is greyish),take a screenshot.
Go to Paint.net, put where will be the middle of the Ironsights (the "pointy thing" on the front post of some guns, the red dot on an ACOG or Kobra), then save it. Open GIMP, open that gun. Go to "Layers", and add Alpha Channel. Use the Select Color tool, and select and delete the background. Now make some minor adjustments and voilá.
