Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 From Brownells' website They copied it from the cited sources Maximizes Available Light For Fast, Low-Light Sight Acquisition Advanced light gathering properties of fiber optic rods make maximum use of ambient light to provide a bright glow that stands out against dark backgrounds and puts you on target fast, even in low-light or high-stress situations. Fronts and rears sold separately, so you can create a custom, three-dot, fiber optic system tailored to your shooting needs. Available with red or green inserts. Front sight can also be used with Novak’s plain, wide-notch rear. Kimber and Taurus front sights are the same height as factory sights and fit factory dovetails; no machining required. 1911, Issue:11, Page:045Big Book Catalog, Issue:68, Page:142Law Enforcement / Police Store, Issue:05, Page:032Personal Protection, Issue:01, Page:030Sinclair, Issue:1A, Page:042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Douglas Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I have a fiber optic front sight on my duck gun. Makes those early morning shots a bit easier. I went with green on that one as I thought the red could blend in with the morning sun. I have no other fiber optic sights on any of my guns. I do have tritium sights on my carry pistol. They look like the white dot sights in the daytime and glow green at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I find that I can pick up the front red fiber optic site quicker on one of those ungodly Glocks. Not that I have any, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 my "virtual" ungodly Glock has a tritium sight. The factory ones it came with suck pond scum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
