| I just viewed a DVD put out by Crimson Trace. Hopefully, one day I will be able to get CT grips for my XD-45. In the DVD, one of the gun pros, I believe it was Hackathorn, said night sights are really not a good idea on a defense gun, compared to laser sights, as you must bring the gun up to eye level for them to be effective. Laser sights can be used to m the handgun in many circumstances where night sights would be useless. If you want night sights, that is up to you. That is what makes America great, choice. For me, however, vision and other considerations make laser sights a better option.

Unlike laser sights, night sights don't require batteries so you won't have to worry about a "short circuit" if your firearm gets wet or the batteries running down. There are numerous advantages for both, but given a choice, I'd take night sights over laser sights. It's important to train with your SD firearms. Train properly and train well under various conditions if possible. Be wary of what you read on the internet. Some folks have good intentions, but provide "bad" advice. This "bad" advice may end up getting you killed or seriously injured when it really matters. Be safe, happy shooting! gf

| I have the Truglo tritium fiber optic front sight on my Sig P229 Equinox. The rear is the Siglite night sight. They make a good combination. One benefit of night sights that I really enjoy is the ability to locate and correctly pick up my pistol in a completely dark room.

I've owned PT Night Sights in the past and found them to be top quality. PT also offers a variety of color combinations. Green is the only color available for the front, but the rear can be had in green, blue, red, orange, or yellow. They also offer green bar arrangements for the rear sights.http://www.ptnightsights.com/ Last edited by astute; 12-18-2008 at 09:56 PM. |

| My only problem w/ the laser issue is that the BG could also trace back the laser to where you are standing, if you are in the "All Concealing Shadows" That is one of the aother reasons I would not have a comensator on a carry piece. 1) it blinds 2) more flash for them to see .... just my humble opinion Oh, BTW, I have the Trujicons on my Glock 30, and I agree, it definately IS easier to see in a dark room

| I have TruGlo TFOs on all my XDs and have never had a problem with them at all.

| I really like the concept of the TFO's. the fiber optics to make them brighter in the day, and the tritium to be enhanced by the fiber optics at night. sounds like a winner to me.
