Everyone likes what they like. I don't believe there is a "standard" sight to be used. My personal preference is a gold bead front or an orange dot. For rear, I like a wider U-shaped plain black one. 10-8 Performance used to make them, but they seem to have gone totally to 1911's or Glocks. | |||

I went with Ameriglo Agent sites recently and am very pleased with them. I like the Trijicon HD night sites as well. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Agree 100%. My intent is to see what remains popular. Generally, items that are shit don’t remain popular in this community.

Same here. Given the choice, I'd go with bar-dot over three-dots. However, what I hate with any system is covering the target with the front sight (so-called Combat Sighting). I prefer lining up the tops of the sight with the intended POI, which means I don't really need contrast sights at all. | |||

I MUCH prefer the original SIG Von Stavenhagen sights! ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

Heinie Straight 8's are also an option if you're looking for night sights. | |||

So something like the Trijicon HD XR? ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Another vote for the SIG Von Stavenhagen style sights, it’s what I have on my P228 carry guns. But, there’s something to be said for the new style front sights. The Trijicon HDs or the Sig XRay front sights. But, I hate three dot sights. They’re cluttered, confusing, and draw the eye to the rear sights, away from the front and/or target. I’ve just taken a sharpie to the rear dots on some pistols. On my range and competition guns, I have a fiber front sight with a black or a contrast rest. I’ve always wanted to try the Heinie straight eight rears, but I’d want a rear that is smaller and a different color than the front. | |||

I've gone to straight eight type sights on every gun I carry. I find I am much quicker picking up and aligning them. Although my P228 still has the original Von Stavenhagen style sights with the front painted orange. | |||

I'm fine with anything square where I can align the tops of the posts. I'm not a fan of rounded front posts, or U-notch rears. I'd say my favorites are the Sig X-Rays...the big green dot on the front helps acquire and place the front sight post into quick focus in daylight and provides tritium for low-light, and the blacked out rear with tritium inserts keep the sight picture simple in daylight but still provides reference points in the dark. Being green also helps differentiate them from the red dot in my optics, too. Sig did it right with that sight design, IMO. | |||

Exactly. I have them on my Ed Brown’s and needed to go with a Kensight ProGlo on my Guncrafter. ------------ SP2022 - 9mm | |||

I recently picked up a set of Speed Sights for an M&P40 2.0. I like them a lot, very fast, but I need to put a little work into them before I go all in. https://speedsights.com/ | |||

Those are interesting. I've seen some rifle sights that use diamonds. It seems more precise than circles, but I'd also have to try them out before committing. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.
