TOP PREDATOR's Review of AmeriGlo Smith Wesson Night Sight Sets, Pro Glo Front
OK I wanted to replace my really good factory fiber optic sights with night sights for all around use on this multi functional pistol. I was always a "3 dot guy". Then tried these....I'm sold on the Idot / figure eight / whatever you call it sight set up.
FIRST...they are very simple, the eye just can't help but to be attracted to the very bright (more yellowish than green) front post. SECOND...the rear sight's "dot" has no color ring around it, helping with my first point. THIRD...the U shape notch rather than the square notch in the rear sight helps "cradle" the round front dot and used with a flat, level, straight across top of both sights works super for more precise shooting, and by simply working in combo stacking the one dot on top of the other works better than I imagined for slow fire.
I actually had a few air pistols around that I "mocked up" the sights on to mimic these and others I was interested in with bright greenish fishing lure paint, even during this "mock up" the configuration really worked for me.
The tritum vials glow VERY brightly, and with the larger in front / smaller in back, its easy to find that front sight and align with the rear without much trouble at all.
When I first took them out of the package, I thought maybe I wasted money as the yellowish / green circle in front didn't seem all that impressive, so I took it outside in sunlight. BOY ARE THEY BRIGHT!
Here's the surprising shocker...as I walked back in the house, I noticed the front sight stayed REALLY bright, and as going through the shady hallway I noticed the front ring actually glows in the dark and very brightly. Not even the Ameriglo advertises this feature, which they are doing themselves a disservice.
So very pleased with these for quick or slow fire, in low or bright light and every where in between, a very simple non confusing way for a great sight picture and getting quick on the front post. Good quality construction too.
Will be replacing other night sights on my other pistols with these.
