This. Used to like mepro light 3 dots but as my eyes age the sights turn to a blob. The green fibers with the shiny ring on the front really help me.

Same here. I gave up on three dot anythings over 25 years ago. Visual confusion for me. I now use Heinie or Warren Tactical black/black on everything.

During the transition, I started just blacking out three dot contrast and night sights. OK with contrast, but not OK with night sites. The usual qualification - everybody's eyes are different. I found blacked night sights had problems for me...the glass vials. Indoors, they tended to fuzz out under fluorescents. Outdoors, I'd get glare from direct sunlight. Black/black solved both problems.

For those in the majority, I have no issues shooting in low light and even no light. Our LGC indoor range has fully controllable lighting for use in low light training. My first statement here is based on experience and not theory. I find night sights to have a very narrow band of usability. They don't help you see the target...only a flashlight will. Most civilian gunfights are relatively close and require "gun driving" technique rather than conscious sight alignment. My frame of reference hers is civilian use, not military or LEO's, who may have different requirements.

I'm not arguing against other shooter's choices. Sights are a very personalized issue. Even with the same shooter, aging eyes may eventually dictate a change in sights. All that matter is what works for the individual shooter. Black/black works for me.

Trijicon HD's on all my glocks. Other pistols have a variety of sights.

bi color williams fire sights

I like the Sig X-ray sights and put them on all four of my P320's. My 54 year old eyes pick up the green front sight very quickly

Crimson Trace.

XS Tactical Big Dot, Trijicon XD's, Novak's, factory HI Viz front/ square notch rear may reside on top, but CT's are on every one of those.

As usual you all are a ton of help. So I've narrowed my purchase down to two:
Ameriglo fiberoptic I dot or the fiber optic front with blacked out rear. I'm leaning more towards the I dot because it seems like logically it would give me a more accurate shot quicker. My only fear is that it might be too visually busy and distracting with two fiber optics?

 
I happen to like the SIG XRay-3 sights. The tritium on the rear pretty much blacks out in daytime, so you have a plain black rear. I have straight XRays on the carry gun, and on the game gun, XRay rear with a SIG TFO front. I also shoot the carry gun in the games, and the straight XRays work well.
