I'd rather have these installed on my home defense M4 than nothing, however they basically meet the bare minimum of performance to allow the shotguns sights to be used at night. They are tough to install due to the front sight being very, very tricky - also ends up requiring a very small wrench that you will likely have to purchase solely for this job. 5mm I believe it was. That being said, I gave the product a good overall rating because, it is the only option out there for the M4 unless you want to go with an illuminated optic. I am still putting a t1 on my m4, so these are basically backup. Also, to clarify, I am a dentist, I work in minutia all day long and this front sight install was very difficult IMO.
Pros: Allows function of your sights in low light conditions
Cons: Hard to install and not that bright
