Fiber Optic Or Not?

[RVTECH]

Ok - now that I can see and shooting is fun again I need some better sights on my 1911 - I was looking at a set with a green fiber optic rear and a red front. Anyone use fiber optic on your handguns? Or should I just go with a good set of conventional white outline rear and red front? I will be getting adjustable but the effect is the same.

I vote fiber optic front and rear. I have a red fiber optic front sight and the plain Bomar rear on a 1911. My vision is a little wonky, and I don't think that plain rear sight is doing me any favors. I don't have any experience with the white outline style, but I do have a pellet rifle with fiber optic front and rear. It's a cheap little rifle but those sights, boy howdy!

My preference is green front and black rears... have all my competition & plinking handguns setup that way.

Do not like it. Gold seems to be the best reflector, or I am just old and crotchety. Maybe just an aversion to plastic parts.

I have a fiber front and black rear which is my second favorite sight combination behind black front and rear bomar sights on a gold cup

Sorry for the bad photo old iPad cameras stink but these are warren tactical sights

Don't know if it's just me or not, but I didn't like fiber optic on the two pistols I had. When I would go shooting when it was cloudy outside I would have a hard time seeing the front sight and not be able to be very accurate with it.
