    I think officially & scientifically, Green is generally the color that is most attractive to the human eye.

    I've found that to be true and personally between a red or green holographic optic / dot, I much prefer green.

    Unfortunately, the only way to be 100% sure is to try them out yourself - in the real world.

    You will not have any issue trading / selling an optic here if you don't like the color you get.

      I?ve tried both the orange and the yellow Trijicon HD sights. I found I pick up the orange a lot easier. These sights also have a U Notch on the rear, so it is really easy to get lined up quickly for me.

      I now have orange Trijicons on both my HK P2000?s and orange Ameriglo Trooper sights on my Glock 43X MOS and Glock 47. My wife also had me put the Trijicon orange HD on her Springfield Armory XD Subcompact.

        Recharging the magazine is a OG technical term for properly inserting a magazine, that is currently loaded to its optimal functional capacity, when ammunition is available, into the magazine well. Watch Jim Caan do it.

          Uh, nope.
          Is this the same type of terminology as using your "dominate" (shakehead) hand to hold a flashlight?

          You might "recharge" the pistol by inserting a new magazine. "Recharging" a mag is loading rounds into a mag. Seems like you have some word soup floating around in your head, but it is not congealing.concealing.

          Here's one article talking about recharging your handgun (not magazine).



          P.S. You get no points for the old Caan clip! But it was a nice try.

            Wrong Osmilly.

            You can have a loaded magazine without the firearm.

            You can have a loaded magazine inserted & properly seated into in the magazine well, and then.....CLICK!

              If one is going to be hawking attorney services and gun sales businesses, it's not a good idea to throw rocks at customers.

                I have Ameriglo Hackathorn Night Sights on the majority of my pistols. Orange ring. Picks up really bright during the day. Green dot in the center at night.
                Rear sights are all black.
                I do have XS Big Dots on one of my pistols. You basically put the front dot on the rear post..kinda like a lollipop. They aren't bad. But I still like the Ameriglo sights better.

                  You got to look yourself. Everyone?s eyes are different

                  My $0.02, green or red fiber with blacked out rear. Choose color you can pickup faster

                  Fiber will pick up your flashlight light, but same flashlight will wash out tritium front sight and it looks like a solid black front sight . Try in a low light class to experience yourself

                      i guess green is for most people because majority of sights are green. and then there are few like me who's eyes are drawn to brighter colors such as yellow.

                        I really like my Ameriglo with Orange front.

                          I'm somewhat colorblind. Red/orange sights are awful. Green looks more white/gray and doesn't stand out. Yellow is the way to go.

                            This is not a new behavior, the majority of what @ohsmily does on this platform is belittle and posture. Really is just a pos from all I?ve ever seen him contribute, every once in a while he provides knowledge without trying to knock the other person down a few pegs. Pretty sure he got banned for a period because he was goading someone into meeting up in person over an online disagreement; guy should just get a permanent ban given he?s still an ahole to whoever he sees as an easy target and hasn?t changed his approach to communicating at all.
