Night sights? Really! I once lost a rapidly moving target behind the brilliant green glow of my humongous Meprolight front sight. If I had fired at that exact moment then I would have shot where the target had just been instead of where it actually was. (A heck of a lot closer to me!)

Since that night I haven't been overly keen about what are actually way too bright, 'low light sights'. I'm not saying that so-called, 'night sights' aren't useful; under the right circumstances they can be. Only that these sights are NOT the panacea for all of the target acquisition problems that occur after dark.

Personally, I doubt that, 'night sights' are going to change very much during the remainder of my lifetime; but, someday, I expect the: design, use, and collective perception of, 'night sights' will become significantly modified from what presently exists; and I've read a few Israeli articles on weapon sights and human vision to bolster this opinion.
