The rear sight, TacOrd, that you have shown, is the Wilson, has the optional Tritium sights as opposed to the standrd rear that's plain.
Front sight on all models have the Tritium vial.
Best sight for tactical Shotgun?

No one has mentioned it yet but, although this style is no longer made from what I see....
On an Ithaca Deerslayer Police Special, with the LAPD 'wedge' type rear sight, and the redish/orange acrylic front triangular blade is awesome IMHO.
The rearsight is in matching parkerized finish to the barrel, no bright glare to speak of.
Patridge style, just like a handgun too, for commonality.
Although there are no protective ears on the front blade, if broken, it is easily replaced with a screwdriver.
No batteries, low light capable, low profile, lightweight, plenty accurate for slugs at least to 75 yards for me.

Can't speak to the tactical aspect of this thread, but am thinking of changing over to ghost rings on my bear gun, especially after reading the above posts. Have just noticed my second floating dot type scope has a crack in the front lens. The dot disappeared on the first scope during a trip up to the Yukon. You know what they say if something bites you twice
. They are fun for some things and I like them, but I just haven't found them to be tough enough to have any faith in under rough conditions. The first scope went when my shotgun was butt down leaning against the truck and slid down to the ground. It wasn't even a hard landing, but I was scopeless from then on. Admittedly, I could have been more careful, but what are the odds it could happen again. I have no idea where the cracked lens on the second one came from and it is still working but... I have been feeling the scopes should work because of the use of scopes by the U.S. military, but probably it is time to change.
