    Regarding the rmr-which i recently switched to- i spent some time in pouring rain and yes, it blooms the dot, but it didnt seem to have much effect on accuracy.
    I shot a 91 on b8 at 25yds at a decent pace (1rd/sec).
    Other drills led to similar results (no quantifiable difference).

    On a primary (that is, something G19-sized or larger), Dawson adjustables with a fiber front. I have no need for night sights because my primary has an x300U on it. if the pistol has an RMR, either leave the factory sights (because you're unlikely to use them) or all black metal sights.

    Yes, sights are like shoes in that they are very personal.

    ALL of my guns that are carried at ANY time have night sights of some sort. Some are simply better than others, for me. I have always had excellent vision and still have 20-20 distance vision. But in the last few years my near vision has deteriorated somewhat. I can no longer focus clearly on the front sight of a handgun. Although I long ago recognized the value of night sights, now I pick the sights that stand out during the day as well as at night. I like the Trijicon HDs a lot because the big orange front dot stands out so well for me. But I hate the sharp edges on the rear HD sight. Totally unnecessary, especially for such an expensive sight.

    Since the OP asked about Glock here goes. On my current five Glocks I use nothing but Truglo TFOs. They are most excellent at night as well as most excellent during the day. Yes, I have other fiber optic sights on my range guns but nothing I have found works better at night AND during the day as well as the TFOs. Those big green, or yellow, dots just stand out. And the TFOs are more affordable than some other night sights. Although I like them, I think the Trijicon HDs are simply overpriced by about $30.

    OP, there are some good sights out there for your Glock. But there is NO "best sight", and there is rarely "the best" of anything else in the gun world. There are just some good choices and some less than good choices.

    Good luck with your own choice.

    Trijicon HDs and TFXs are really wide, they obscure a lot of the target.

    Ask yourself in what situation would you not be able to see you sights unless they glowed, but would be able to identify the target, whether they posed a threat and their backstop?

    Dawson Precision Charger sights. Fiber front with a plain black rear. $79 from Dawson. Very quick, and the thinner front sight obscures less of the target for shooting sports/paper punching.

    And I have my own question,

    It's a shame that online casinos do this in general, but it makes sense why they always change their welcome bonuses. After talking to a friend of mine who owns a small book on offshore sports, he explained to me why this is done and happens this way. The fact is that there are a lot of competitions at online casinos, sportsbooks, bingo halls, and anywhere else online where you can bet. But only these quality casinos, that describe here https://qualitycasinos.cc, seem reliable to me. Has anyone tried them? Can you give us your answer?

    If you're going to run Dawsons on an irons-only gun, why not run the adjustables? That way you can compensate for differences between your carry and training ammo.

    Trijicon HD. I prefer the Orange over Lemon.

    I now prefer the HD/XR better. I still have some original HD's, HD/XR on 2.0 Compact, Shields and Sigs. I like my 2.0 Compact with the Trijicon RMR07 6.5 moa

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    No issues getting solid hits at 50 and 75 yards with HD's. Most FO sights are not durable enough for serious defensive use or even EDC. I realize there are some exceptions out there.

    I'm sticking with Trijicon HD or on Gen5 the Ameriglo Agent. I would also consider similar sights, maybe the Ameriglo Hackathorn for example, or Truglo TFX Pro

    All kinds of low light situations. All I have ever had to do, at any of the places I have lived, is do a dry run around the home at night and every time I have found many locations where I can positively identify a target/target area, but non-illuminated sights either can't be seen or require a much greater effort/more time to see than tritium sights.

    Virtually all of LE has tritium night sights for good reason.

    As to obscure a lot of the target, when I do my part I can put rounds into a 5-6" circle (B8) unsupported at 25 yards with Trijicon HD's, and into a silhouette at 50 yards. More than adequate for self defense
