R4E Optimized Duty Sight (ODS)
Tried search here on PS.com and came up empty.
I just ran across these today and wanted an opinion from any Pistolaeros here.
Are these sights good, seem OK, or too much paint/tritium?
Anyone with experience with these also very welcome.

No experience with these, but as a fellow that needs glasses...
If I were to get them, I'd go with the mixed color set.
The MEPRO R4E sights are offered in (4) configurations:
- Green Front, Green Rear sights
- Green Front, Orange Rear sights
- Orange Front, Green Rear sights
- Orange Front, Orange Rear sights
My fear is that a single color set could easily get blurred (c attached) in a hi-stress scenario.

Colors other than green will fade very quickly and no longer be visible.

I wasn't aware of this. You just saved me money and aggravation. Thanks.

Saw them at SHOT. Wasn't impressed enough to consider spending personal money to acquire a set.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Color fade not good. I was hoping orange would work as a F/S. Maybe someday they'll work it out?

Orange appears to expire in a more accelerated manner than green/yellow, as The Reaper brought up. Trijicon warranties their green/yellow sights for 12 years, while orange is only covered for 5 years.
