And that was probably in broad daylight. We're talking night sights. And it's anecdotal. One of the fastest and most accurate shooters I know (who is an instructor for several LEA's) point shoots exclusively up to 30 yards. I've seen him spin, draw, and fire on 5 spread targets at 25 yards and score all "A" headshots without a miss seemingly faster than I can blink. Incredible. But that's anecdotal too.

I also spoke with a well known competitive shooter that told me he shoots so fast it would be impossible to properly acquire his sights. He just developed a sense of when they were properly aligned over time. But again, that's anecdotal.

That being said, I personally still look for a sight picture. But I don't hold a candle to the two shooters I just mentioned.

You mean like these...both fronts and rears are tritium lamps?



You can get the night sights in whichever color combination you'd like, just tell them when they make the sight bodies.

Yes! I'm unfamiliar with those sights. Who makes them? And the rear is a tritium tube mounted sideways?
