Red front. Blacked out rear.
Less distracting. You don't want bright dots closer to your eye than the front sight.

Dawson comes with both, you can pick red or green. I prefer green, they stand out way more to me.
Terrible at night. If you want to see them at night, buy night sights.

Just had the TruGlo put on a Gen 5 G19 over at the Glock factory, and they are sweet. I think these hybrid night/fiber sights are definitely the way of the future for carry guns.
For plain old fiber sights, I'm not sure the brand makes much difference though. They all use the same fiber, and I've never really noticed a big difference in durability.

Agreed. Dawson on my STI and I love it at the range--plane black rear and red front sight. But I have TruGlo on other pistols and I think they're a good compromise for where I want night sights. My STI is the slickest pistol I own but it's a range toy.
This . Hard to beat . If I’m cheap I’ll use truglo but if not than these
Dawson by far. Serious shooting will almost always be with only a single fiber or tridium on front post.
I use Hi-Viz or Dawson precision myself.
really depends a lot on the particular weapon.
Dawson has a lot of different weapons covered and offers height sizes.
Hi -Viz has the option on most models to change the Fiber Optic rod without cutting it and offers several colors of rods.
both work equally well for me on a number of different weapons.

Night sights are terrible at night too. If you plan to shoot in the dark (or want to be prepared for it) get a weapon light.
Not to mention it's difficult to positively ID a threat without a light.
I’ve never bought into the idea of night sights. I’m not going to be aiming my gun in the dark.
