How do you like "Hi vis" sights?

As I've aged, it seems as though it gets darker faster, even in summer!

Since I refuse to put scopes on certain rifles, and none of my revolvers, for some years now, I've been using fluorescent orange paint (available at your local hobby store) on many of my front sights, rifle, shotgun and handguns. Just a little dab will do ya', on the top, or even down the ramp slightly.

Cheap, works great in fading and even almost dark, yet shows up black against light backgrounds. Easily removed, if you wish, and just as easily repaired.

Sorry about the low-tech answer......
 
I personally never cared much for the high vize sights, my preference is the red ramp/white outline, my eyes just see that combo better. Some only prefer the black on black sights. Its all how you see and shoot with your sights. No right or wrong, just what works for you!
 
Had Hi-Viz sights on a 317 and sight picture and accuracy was awful. I'm red/green color blind but I can see red okay on sights but the green just disappears. I wouldn't buy another pistol with Hi-Viz sights if it was the greatest deal in the world. It's beyond me why S&W uses this type of sight at all.
