How many of you guys have night sights on your defensive firearms? If so so you have a favorite brand? I voice my opinion in the vid.

Oddly, the TruGlos have night sights in both front and rear, but no white circles in the rear. It's a great combination, for both daylight and lousy light usage.I carry a Ruger Security 380. I comes from the factory with a front night sight and blacked out ready nots sight. I love it and so found it better than having both front and rear night sights.
No doubt you should use a flashlight if you have one available, but more often than not, things arent usually totally dark either. There is usually enough ambient light to still be able to identify your target and yet too dark to see your sights.I have them on a couple of pistols. When it gets dark they aren't much use if it's too dark to see what I'm shooting at. Flashlight on the bed stand works much better.
I'm not saying this is the case with you, but this is often a point of misunderstanding or confusion.I typically run Amerigo Trooper night sights on my Glocks, I like the lime green/yellow front.

and this Rangemaster article by Tom Givens...in the 60 plus defensive shootings his students have been involved in, the lighting (or lack of lighting) was a factor in the outcome in exactly ZERO cases.

While folks can do whatever they want with their own guns, I usually give a little push back on the "you need night sights" requirement. I don't know what the LE folks may need, but this from Tom Givens in this article may make you question the need for night sights. I know I post this often, but perhaps some have not seen it before and it may be worth their while.
