Tritium Night Sights, Colors
« on: July 28, 2015, 07:42:02 PM »
Good evening everyone, I hope all is well.
I have the newer style P-07 in 9mm and I would like some opinions on night sights.
I prefer tritium and I would like the pros and cons of having a green front sight and green rear sight or if there's an advantage of having a green front sight and yellow rear sight. I realize this is mostly personal preference but I would like to know what you guys think.
Thanks much, jimzilla.

I have pistols with both types of sights. I don't notice the color (in low light) when I'm shooting, I just see the dots and line them up. The main advantage with 2 colors is (in the low light) a visible cue to put the green dot between the yellow dots. I seem to see the rear dots as fuzzy and the front sight clearly. My wife does shoot better with 2 color sights, she likes the Trijicon green front and orange rear site set up. I find I do just as well with a black rear sight and green tritium front sight.

After looking at sights for ages I finally went with Meprolights.  Theyre the cheapest and are fast to aquire, and are bright at night.

Tritium Night Sights, a Question ...

A friend of mine just bought an SDP and brought it to the range today. One thing seemed a little odd to me. It has Trijicon tritium night sights, but they are nowhere near as bright as the CZ factory installed night sights on my RAMI and CZ97BD. Is that normal? I was expecting the Trijicons to be at least as bright, if not brighter.

I like a bright green on the front with white on the rear. It seems to make lining things up faster and easier. My eyes just aint what they used to be.
