Not trying to be a prick regarding anyone who swears by them, but I question the utility of sights for 'low light' conditions- even for myself. A few years ago I bought a Sig P220 Compact with all the bells and whistles including Trijicon night sights. I was thinking, if it's dark enough that I need the Trijicons, is it light enough to readily identify my target?
I shoot iron sights regularly for both handguns and rifles. I have found that by the time the light is low enough that the tritium sights are useful, it's basically too dark to easily ID a target unless I already know the target. I've done the good guy / bad guy pop up and computerized simunition training and can get a perfect score. Doubt I could do that in semi-darkness. A fiber optic front blade works well for so-so lighting, but for me so does a solid plastic orange or white insert.
What say the group?
