These sights were just what I needed to help me as my aging eyesight is no longer what it used to be. Very strong and seem to be able to stand a beating.

Love these sights day or night. The yellow/green combination makes easy target alignment.

Low Quality Import Junk. Good idea but very poor made product. More junk from China. Buyer Beware!

By design the yellow rear sight is dimmer than the front yellow. in daylight the fiber optics are great. low light the yellow is a bit to dull. the darker it is the better the sights work. I use this for a carry gun and night use. they are very good. but when I read the rear was less luminus i thought ok it's that way by design. So why were people complaining. Now i know. it is just a little to subdued for me. Since it is a different color than the front maybe it could be a little brighter. After all the contrast od yellow to green will prevent green overlap. I have the TFO greens on other guns. if i had it to do over I would probably stick to the green and no yellow. I won't change what I have for now because it does work.

These are overall great sights. that being said, a warning to Glock shooters: after installation on my model 21 I noticed a small problem. Due to the length of the front sight, and the way front sights are installed on glock pistols, there was a slight possibility of front sight movement. This would not be as prevalent on dovetail front sights. Locktight applied to the sight cut milled into the pistol (as opposed to only the threads on the sight) seems to have solved the problem. Other than that, no problems after 1000+ rounds. They line up quick in any light condition and hold zero better than I do.

Bought these from a reccomidation of a friend my mine. Awesome visibility in daytime shooting and dots also show very well sitting on the nightstand at night. Really pleased with these sights!

Pros:  Excellent all around night/day illumination
Cons:  Fiber Optic rods prone to cracking/crazing
Would recommend:  yes

Great sights for those of us with less than perfect eye sight. However, the Fiber Optic rods are vulnerable to cracking/crazing and very sensative to attack by solvents/oils, etc. If one shoots a great deal, be warned. I have consistently seen only about three years of heavy use before failure. Warrantee repair only agreed to once for a new set of sights. Don't expect repeated repairs.

Good sights. High contrast yellow/green sight picture. The fiber optics work well under bright sunlight. The tritium doesn't seem like the brightest around, but the double application makes up for it. I would recommend these to anyone who wants something besides white dots.

I installed these on my S&W MP 9C. NICE improvement! They glow well in darkness yet also glow in daylight on the range. A marked improvement over factory in any light really. Installation was tedious even with a sight pushing tool and use of the freezer and blow dryer but I think that true of any sight. Not just these. Time will tell if the FOs hold up but replacement filaments can be had so no biggie. Buying another set for my other M&P soon.

I have these installed on a Glock 23. I am very happy with them and the daytime performance of the Fiber Optics is impressive. The glow from the tritium at night is not quite as bright as the other night sites I have, possibly a small loss of light through the FO(?). I can't really define that as a complaint because they work just fine. I might try yellow front and green rears if i were using them mostly at night
