I've been looking at night sights and would like to hear some first hand experience and reviews.
Night sights aren't adjustable except drift adjustable, via sight tool or punch & mallet. If you're talking about regular fixed vs. adjustable, they're only worth it, IMO, if you're competing.Another question, is it worth the extra dough for the adjustable sights vs. the fixed sights?
I have to agree with you. I had them on my duty weapon but can't remember one time they helped me. I suppose in low light conditions while shooting at a stationary target, with plenty of time for sighting in, they might be beneficial. Unfortunately, those of us in law enforcement rarely have a need to use this "Camp Perry" style of shooting.Alright, I suppose I'm gonna get slammed for saying this but I don't buy into the night sights at all. I've been a LEO for 14+yrs now and have never had them nor ever felt the need to have them. Yes I have been in the mix a few times, still never felt the need to have them.
I keep putting them on my weapons, but I'm starting to wonder myself. It seems like a good flashlight or weaponlight make more sense. It's nice being able to see your sights, but it's more important to be able to see your target and you're right...you don't really have the time to sight in with them. If you can see your target, what's behind it and because of the weaponlight or proper flashlight use you know where you're gun is pointed, well, that's pretty damn good in 1.5 seconds.I have to agree with you.
