I'm sure this has been beaten up for sure but was wanting to change the stock front sights on my Glocks. Night sights are fine but are hard to define in daytime, have never shot any of the fiber optic sights but would like to try one. What is the best that everyone has experience with, would you keep them or go back to a white dot.

Thanks for any opinions.

A lot of competition shooters shoot the fiber optic sights. They come to the eye a lot quicker than the white dot.
If its a carry gun, I'd go with night sights.
On a dark night, that's the only sight your likely to see and after the first shot, the Mz Flash takes away some of the night vision.

What are your needs for this gun? HD front sight is pretty hard to beat for self defense but as some found out suck for longer accuracy shots as far as a run and gun or competition.

And bad part about fiber optics like Dawson are they are tall and sharp and catchy.

Really all depends on what you sa tout of your pistol

Them wide front sights can cover up a complete target at some long distances can't they?
