By far, my favorite front sight is Ted Yost's gold-inlaid post. The serrated gold picks up light like crazy. The original black on either side gives great contrast on a light colored target.
For an all-purpose gun , I like 3 dot Night Sights.
For a small carry gun - anything that has a highly visible front will do.

Thus far I like the Heinie Straight Eight sights with the XS Big Dot Night Sights as a close second.
Carry gun: I seem to like the 3-dot night sights but don't have them yet.
Target rig: big ol' iron target sights. Grew up with em, learned to shoot silhouette with em...
Rifle: Scope :) or good iron sights.
Shotgun: Ghost ring, please
Good poll.

Not trying to hijack a thread. But I have a question, If you have standard 3 dot sight. Can you enhance them? Paint? something else?
Sights? Who needs em.
I prefer the standard three dot mepro's, but can see the value in big dots and some other systems out there.

Tritium XS Big Dots. They're great fast acquisition sights for the vision impaired.![]()
