Hi!
I picked up my new xDM 9mm on Saturday and have been thinking about replacing the front sight.
I have a green "Hi-Viz" fiber optic front sight for an xD that I won as a door prize at PA IDPA States last year and I got it out to swap it in. But when I held it up next to the factory white dot sight in a normally-lit room, the white dot was noticably brighter!
So now I'm questioning whether I should bother. Are these things really all that helpful? Are Dawson sights enough better than the Hi-Viz that I would see a difference between them? Do these things work a lot better in sunlight than indoors?
What are your experiences?
Thanks!
