I'm looking at the Truglo TFO, with fiber optic and tritium. I've read good things about it.
I've also read that, the green tritium is the brightest. Where available, the red, orange, and yellow are less bright. Out of the three, orange is the least bright.
Not having seen it, I'm uncertain about the 3 green dots at night (or during the day for that matter). Wouldn't it be easier to quickly sight in on differentiating colors having contrasting colors between the front and rear sights?
On theory, red front and green rear would appear to be ideal, that maybe it would reduce the time to line up the sights. I am concerned about having to line up 3 green dots trying to determine proper alignment.
For an XD application, one can get yellow rear and green front, at a cost of reduced intensity in the yellow.
1) What would be your recommendation?
2) Is it truly an issue trying to line up 3 green dots, day or night, when comparing to contrasting colors? Or, it does not matter at all?
3) Anything else I should know?
Thank you.
