Trijicon HD front sight color

[1911CA]

I'm looking to buy a set of Trijicon HD's for my HK USP45.

But I have not had the chance to try them yet. My question is which color do you prefer, the Orange or the Yellow front sight? And why do you like one color over the other?

i got yellow for my glock 19. my eyes pick it up better. but everyone is different. i also think the yellow ones last longer by a few more years

I'm thinking of the orange ones after watching this video.

Yellow. Easier for me to quickly pick up in low light vs. orange.

I have a set of Yellow and was looking to get a second set for another but now I'm thinking Orange.
Although in the video, Orange seems to cause more muzzle flash , they seem to clearly offer more contrast in low light that Yellow.

In the video it looks like the orange is more visible in low light. tnoutsdoor9 also says it in the review. Either way there both great.

I have a set with the orange and prefer it to the yellow. I have shot with the yellow front sight but the orange just works better for me.

Personal preference, period.

I prefer the orange. Others prefer the yellow.

Only your eyes can tell you which you see the best.

You really need to try them out first.
I have yellow on two of my glocks because I can't see red that well.

I have yellow on my "pillow" g22, wanna try the orange on my g17.

The yellow doesn't "last longer". It's just paint around the front sight and not yellow tritium in these, so the orange and yellow should "last" the same.

My eyes are old and all my Trijicon HDs are yellow because it's easier to see for me.

I have a set of orange ameriglo pro idot and and pair of yellow trijicon HD.

Maybe its becuase the trijicon came on a gun i bought PPT, but the orange is much easier for my eyes to pick up....

I prefer orange over yellow. However, my favorite is the green from Ameriglo.

[Legasat]

for me, it's orange for the front.

Everybody is different. You should judge for yourself.

That said, my eyes prefer yellow.
