I also have both and even though I've used Point Shooting methods for years I have a harder time when using a front night sight only gun. I can acquire the sight well enough, I just have a hard time knowing if the barrel is lined up properly. I'm talking about when it's too dark to even make out the outline of the gun.

I seem to do better with night sights where the rear sights are a different color than the front. This combination gives me some indication, in the dark conditions mentioned above, of the front sight's relationship to the rear's.

I also have guns that have night sights that are the same color front & rear and, at times, I've had a hard time differentiating which dot belongs to which sight, i.e. is the front sight dot in the center, or to the right or left of the rear dots.

Because of this I now run Crimson Trace Grips on most of my carry guns and when it's dark out I always make sure to take one equipped with the CT Grips along.
