Who has installed fiber optic night sights for their home defense pistol? I have a Ruger SR45 for home defense and have considered installing them.
In the concealed carry class I took recently, when we were attempting to practice our draw with some speed, the instructor turned out the lights! This was an indoor range and it was pretty dark with the lights out. We waited for the eyes to settle so we could see the sights on our pistols, and the target, but it took some time and I still couldn't really see the sights on mine. My concealed gun has white-dot font/rear sights. Our instructor strongly recommended night sights.
The instructor passed around a pistol to try with the fiber optic night sights and this was a big improvement. I'm thinking for home defense it's a good idea. Who uses night sights on guns they use for home defense? I suppose this would also be a good idea for concealed carry too.
