Anyone else hate Luminova Night Sights?

[Magiccarpetrides]

Just had to rant...

What a pile of sh*t...whats the point in "night sights" if they have to be exposed to light first? HK and Sig can kiss my a$$ I can just see this scenario "hold on mr. robber let me shine my flashlight on my night sights so I can make sure I have you lined up properly....better yet I guess I will just use my flashlight" *end rant* Do all M&P's come with these standard or am I just unlucky enough to have them on mine? I understand HK has to use them due to some "cant import anything radioactive law" but Smith...seriously?

Sigs and M&Ps come with factory TRITIUM night sights. No flashlight needed...

That's the first I've heard of them being used on a M&P factory gun.

I guess mine was a non-nightsight convert :-( Its an M&P9c...it also has a fantastic 10rd "rattle mag" that makes more noise then change in your pocket...luckily the smith rep said I could mail it to them and they would switch me a 12rd'r since im not in Kommifornia.

Why would you send a Smith and Wesson to a Sig rep?

[Magiccarpetrides]

Ill tell you what,I feel the the same about my Trijicon front sight. The dang thing is so dim,for all practical purposes its just a post front sight. I recently had a chance to shoot a Glock21 with the Big Dot sights,and man was I impressed! EXTREMELY fast sight alignment,and in the few rounds I shot with them,as accurate as I am. Those,and a red filament front sight were the best Ive ever used, Im gonna have to decide on one soon, cause the Trijicon aint cutting it no more.

BTW-Ive seen those Luminova sights,and thought the same thing.."what, I gotta shine a light on it to use it?! Yeah, right"!

I pulled the Luminova sights off of my HK45 and replaced them with Meprolights. I don't recall being this upset about them though.

Until I get a good holster for it, it typically occupies a drawer and anytime I move it somewhere else at night it reminds me of how worthless those POS sights are

Sleep with the lights on. Problem solved.

[Guest grimel]

You are supposed to charge the sights BEFORE you goto bed (or out for the night).

Me, I just like a good flashlight.

I would except for the creepy guy in the mirror above my bed
