What helps is to put a drop of Crazy Glue on the top of your front sight before putting the penny on top of it. I am seeing more and more of the shooting wizards with pennies glued to the top of their front sight at the range as time goes on.

Put a penny on the front sight. extend and press the trigger. Penny stays on you should be good to go. Great drill for anyone.

We keep a soft light on in the middle of the house. all night.

When you come out of the bedroom (which is dark) your eyes can see pretty good in the soft light.

Should you need to check an odd noise, there is no need to have a flashlight of weapon light to see what's up. In the event of an intruder, he does not gain the cover of darkness.

I got the general concept, but wanted more details, which you provided. Thanks.

After interviewing a few Silver Star awardees in my old Air Guard unit (we had three) I put a laser and a light on an AR and dedicated it to the bedroom.

To a man, they came home from Iraq or Afghanistan and put lasers and lights on their weapons.

They’re all about rapid targeting and precise, and effective fire.

I certainly don't agree with that. There are good arguments for not using really bright tritium sights (mainly giving away your position), but night sights definitely have value.


I love it when you post.


I love it when you pretend to have a clue. Keep trying, maybe someday you'll figure things out for yourself instead of parroting what somebody else told you.

Here's a hint - try spending some time in the dark. You'd (apparently) be surprised how much a new tritium sight lights up.

Just STFU already.

You're way out of your league.

Try Reddit.

So is that a NO to night sights? Or was that night sweats?

Tell me again how many times you’ve gone looking for bad guys in the dark with a gun.

We have lights on our main house guns as well. Laser too on the handgun

TLR-6 on the G19, and fresh tritium sights. Only 100 lumens, but it is a light.

Cloud Defensive OWL on the 14.7" 5.56, 1250 blinding lumens.

Yes, it's a serious searchlight. Since we live rural, I've had it outside at night. It's amazing. It will throw a good beam well past 200 yards.

Yes, people with good or corrected vision can see another person's handgun night sights, in near or total darkness, from 25-40 feet. The rear sight is the primary offender and it is particularly noticeable with the pistol extended or in a typical duty holster.

They do work great for finding your pistol in the dark.

My personal guns are equipped with a front tritium sight and standard rear.

I run black rears with lit fronts...Not for fear of giving away my position - Pretty sure the 5” inches of my muzzle blast might though...Too late for the bad guy by then.

A lit front makes sense, can't like a lit rear. I mostly use black rear and a Dawson fiber front.

Regardless of moon phases or romantic lighting, I always have a light.
