I was recently issued a new Colt Ar-15A3 tactical carbine from my department. Many of our officers use the Eotech sight, but I am not sold yet.
In the mean time, I would like to have at least a front nightsight. I have looked around and have narrowed it down to two: Meprolight night sights and the XS tactical precision sights. I have Meps on my USP .45f and am very happy.
Does anyone have night sights on their ar? Is there any advantage to just replacing the front sight or replacing both the front and back. The meps have illuminated front and rear on the large aperature and appear to work as a 3-dot system in low light.
When you order the XS sights with their rear aperatures, are these different sizes than the factory aperatures?
I am most concerned with QUICKLY finding the front sight and getting on target in a LE situation.
The only other mod I have made so far is ordering a falcon ergo ambi grip because I hate the way the stock ar grip feels. I may add a light, but refuse to clutter up my patrol rifle just to make it look "tactical."
thank you
