TRITIUM/FIBER OPTIC sights any good?

[Stech]

Wondering if anyone has any experience with these or a similar product. I want the daytime brightness of fiber optic with the night sight advantage tritum offers.

Also, anywhere to get this in Canada?

TRUGLO - TRITIUM/FIBER OPTIC BRITE-SITE as found on Brownels US site.

I have them on three of my pistols: a G17, M&P 9 and a Kimber Stainless II. They're GREAT! I prefer the green/yellow.

Thanks Curmudgeon. Do they seem delicate? I worried they would break easily if banged around, etc. Also, where did you get yours?

I think it depends on your level of experience. If you've been shooting a plain notch rear sight with a rectangular post front, you might find that the dots on either side of the rear sight pulls your focus from the front sight. The fiber optic front sight being a brilliant round dot, does not provide as good an index of elevation as does the flat topped post, and might be more difficult to center in the notch of the rear sight, so although you see it more easily, your scores might actually decrease with it.

They are nice. But they need lots of light to work well unless you get the tritium with it.
