Sights
As I get older I find that it is harder to pickup a sight picture when the front site is all black, or has a tritium insert without any white around it.
I have one that just has white 3 dot sites, that is OK, but not great.
I have one that is the big dot express and that is super easy to pickup, but not the most accurate.
I have one that is three dot tritium night sights, without any white outline, and it was just about impossible for me to pick up the front sight unless I was in the dark. I finally put a small amount of paint around the tritium insert and it is a little better now.
I have one that is plain black, front and back, and have trouble picking up a sight picture unless I am in bright light. Even the lighting at your average indoor range is not enough for me to easily pick up a sight picture quickly.
I would love to end up with everything having the same type of sights, the problem is that there really isn't anyplace that I know of where I can go to actually look at the different types of sights. I don't really want to go through the cost, or the hassle, of trying a bunch of different types of sights hoping to get lucky with something.
Anybody know of anyplace in the Denver area where somebody can go in and look at several different types of sights in one trip?
How do the rest of you evaluate potentially new sights?
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks.
