I was trying to decide what looks brighter on the front sight green or red for outdoor IPSC shooting,would like to have some technical answers if possible?:confused:
 
This is my own opinion and preference, others will differ from my observation. Really, it will be up to what works well for you.

I prefer Red fiber optic front sight insert. Visible indoor and really visible outdoor be it sunny or cloudy day. :)
I don't like the green fiber optic sight especially shooting under the sun. The green color does not give me the front sight fiber optic visibility I get from red outdoor IMHO.

have you ever went to an optometrist

he is doing a test in the dark with a red green color light over some letters on the wall

then he asks you ....what color is more bright between the 2

the color that is more bright for you should be the color of the fiber optic

buy the 2 color and play with it ....it<s not really expensive

for my part i find green to be more bright indoor and outdoors

I shot a match outdoors and tried a green FO for the first time on a borrowed gun. The range had very green grass and foliage. At least for my crappy eyes, the green FO front sight disappeared. I could hardly make it out against all the other green stuff. I am beginning to like red a lot better.
 
Thanks for your input and that's a good idea the optometrist never occurred to me,and I know my old eyes are not up to par anymore that's probably why I can't tell the difference but red looks a little brighter to me.

I am sure the responses will vary equally, for me I have combined the 2!
in the rear i have green, in the front I have red!!! I find this a great
contrast/compromise! fwiw

In color theory, warm colors (like red) advance...or draw the eye...and cool colors (like green) recede. A warm color for a fiber optic will be more rapidly "seeable" than a cool color, and will be generally easier to track.
 
hi guys,

where can i buy those red fiber optic rod for replacement. i've been looking around here in Vancouver area and can't find some. need some info.
thanks.
 
I had a quick look through the sponsored links, and couldn't find anyone that advertises fiber optic sights. I'm looking for red and green front fiber optic for a glock 17/34. Any ideas for Cdn suppliers?
 
I ordered dawson sights for my glock 22 and had the shipped to point roberts washington. I just went down and picked them up. There is a mail service there that you can use there address for a fee.
