Looking to acquire some night sights for my colt series 80? I heard heini is good bur don't know exactly which ones to look for.
Yes heinie are good. I personaly use a 10-8 with a novak front trit with white ring. Ther are a bunch of good sights and good threads out there. THe little orange search button at the top will help you find your way.

Deciding on a night sight configuration first will narrow your search. Do you want 3 dots, straight 8s, tritium in the front sight only, etc.
If you don't have any idea, I'd suggest trying some pistols with different sights first.

I don't like the three dot ether makes it harder for me to focus on the front sight.
If you're going to go with front and rear get the Heinie straight eight, otherwise I'd go with a tritium front and plain 10-8 rear. Just my .02

Thanx for the help appreciated.
Whatever sight you go with, make sure you are getting Trijicon brand inserts. They last the longest in my experience.
Go with a 3-dot pattern. That way, you get easy verification of both vertical and horizontal alignment.
Get a green front and yellow rear. Green is the natural color of tritium, and is therefore the brightest color. Yellow will be dimmer, giving you a bright front sight and dimmer (but still quite bright) rear sight. A brighter front sight and dimmer rear sight keeps the rear from overpowering the front.
+1 on the Heinie Slant Pro Straight Eight's...
I would look into the Heine or Novaks....
