Were you able to see your sights?

Everyone who added night sights to their revolver was amazed at how much light was thrown onto their faces and hands.
I installed a set of Trijicons (green front, orange rear) on my S&W 3913 around 2004, and they are still bright enough to shoot in the dark with.I am looking to get night sights (Trijicon) for my Shield and SD9 VE. How many here replace their sights and go with night sights? I've researched and it seems these will last about 12-14 years.
... Nightsights are a hardware "solution" to a training problem. I'll stick with the training answer...
If it's dark enough for night sights, it's too dark for positive identification, and I won't take the shot.
Totally agree!
I installed a Meprolight front sight on my SP101 and thought the same thing the first time I used it...and it's not all that bright and easy to pick up in daylight when I would be more apt to use it. I ended up putting a dab of white lure paint on it to make it work for me.
I installed a HIVIZ sight on my 3" LCRx that is highly visible in the conditions that I'm most likely to use it.
I have the XRAY Day/Night sight on my P365XL which is a good compromise between the two.
there is a point in low light settings where you can see something (a threat for instance), but not be able to discern "blackout" target sights.
It is possible to see a target but not the front sight, unless the pistol has night sights.
I used a sight pusher to replace the sights on 3 Shields and one M&P 2.0.... I installed the Apex trigger on one of my Shields and the M&P 2.0, so the sights on those two where changed twice. I never had a problem. Were you both using the punch and mallet method. Stupid question, but did he looses the set screw as well?My boss tried to change the sites on his Shield. He could not get the old rear site out for the life of him. He finally gave up, brought the slide into work and asked me to take a look at it. I had to very slowly and carefully cut the rear site in half with a hack saw making sure not to mar the slide. I have heard others comment that the rear sites on Shields are extremely tight.
The the competition shooters or people who put fiber optic sights on their pistols are just wasting money. If it's bright enough outside to identify and see your target, then it's bright enough to see your sights.
And you could shoot the neighbor's 12 year old kid, or shoot a cop.Well I live alone and I shouldn't have somebody in my room calling me a mother trucker, so I'll be taking the shot.
