Cool photos Alf. I just have FO sights on my Remington 870. Come in handy at lowlight shots at bambi during hunting season.

Great job Alf. I have XS big dot on several of my guns.  I find them easy to pick up in the dark now that i'm older with less than perfect eye sight.  I like the XS sights because i CAN see more of the target.  I have played with them in and around the house ( safely of course ) and I have mixed reviews.  Some times they are great and sometimes the brightness obscures the target.  I think practice is parmount along with proper target ID.

I don't often disagree with Rob, but on this topic, I do.  I've been carrying tritium sights on my service pistols since they first became available.  Working a one man patrol car, at night, in Oregon weather, big city or country roads, or S. California alleys, in virtually every scenario you can think of, I have never had a problem aligning my sights to my intended target.  I can not think of a single situation where I was in total darkness.  Unless in a closet or photography dark room, there is always some ambient light.  With proper technique, it is not difficult to distinguish front from rear night sights. 

In some of the darker situations is where smart flashlight use is applied.  FO sights are great when there is light, but not so much when the lights go dim. 

My experience and opinion, your mileage may vary.

I'm a big fan of the XS big dots as well. I like that on the front/rear sets the rear is very subdued, not a 2 dot. Where I think they are at their best though is the front sight only for snubbies. I've been carrying a M&P 340 in a pocket holster pretty regularly now and I love the front big dot on the J frame so much that I've got one in transit to XS for installation now and another to follow when it gets back. Very soon all 3 of my J frames will wear the big dot front sight.
