Good personal defense sights - AmeriGlo Front Tritium Night Sight

Using this sight for all my personal defense pistols now...S&W M&P 9's and Glocks. Haven't tried them for IDPA competition but plan to try them when I get a chance.

I have reached that age where my eye sight isn't as good as it used to be so I need a nice big colorful front sight for fast acquisition. This sight has more orange area than the round version which is easier for me to pick up fast. I like the XS big dot sight concept but they only come in white...(I find that bright orange is easier for me to pick up fast) and they are starting to drop the night tritium rear sights on some models which I prefer in some lighting situations where a longer shot may be required, (i.e. large auditorium, parking lot/ garage).

I use this front sight with Ameriglo "i Dot" square notch rear night sight. I don't like 3 dot systems, (too many dots competing for attention). I like the simplicity of this set up and the rear sight provides a good reference without overpowering the all important front sight. Again I like the XS open rear sight concept (easy to find front sight when not line up perfectly), but this set up will work fine especially if you are used to traditional sights.

Basically this is the biggest most visible colored front sight I have found, (and I have looked a lot). They are available formats of the popular guns out there, and they sell front and rear sight separately so that you can combine the best set up for you.
