They really show up in daylight or any light and also are visible in low to no light. So far I'm happy with them. Anybody here had any experience with these sights?
Just a follow up to the TFO that I got partially due to the recommendation here. The two faint yellow rear and bright green makes OUSTANDING contrast day or night. I have them for about a year now and they still shine. Despite some reviews about the rod falling out, I don't have that problem with it and I'm pretty rough with my 10000+ draw and reholster. I have not dropped or bumped against hard surfaces though.

I like to use them in completely dark room and practice my draw and dry fire. It's very easy to focus when the only visual input you get are the dots, and with such min visual, your tactile and auditory senses are augmented. Throw tai-chi speed/fluid movement and some zen there and voilą, you'll get yourself a solid so-called muscle memory (neural pathway). Issha zetsumei!

At day time, the bright green is very easy on the eye, facilitating quick acquisition and transition. I recently won a local steel challenge, and I would attribute to the clear contrast as to how my eyes stayed on the FS and not distracted by target or where the rounds hit.

Next I'd like to try the RMR or similar set up after a certain HSLD fellow in non existent unit showed me how effective it was for inducing additional orifices on someone's face who made a poor life decision and decided to rush a check point.
