I have a Sig 320 FS 45acp that has fiber optic sights on both the front and the rear. I am thinking about having them taken off and replaced with regular sights, possibly Trijicon night sights (or comparable). I use the gun mostly indoor at the range or as a home defense gun so the lighting isn't usually good enough for good visibility of the fiber optic ones.

Would like recommendations for new sights but I need some that I can see well.
 
I'd give the Truglo TFX Pro a try. I have these on a Walther PPS that is used for carry on occasion when I need something small and slim. They're excellent in dark, bright light and in transitional lighting (think dusk or dawn lighting). With your gun being a Sig, I'd also highly recommend Sig's X-Ray night sights. These came on my Legion 226 and 229 and they're also an outstanding sight setup. I like that the rear sight has black surrounds on the tritium vials and the front sight has a fluorescent green surround on around the tritium vial. It really makes the front sight easy to pick up.

Did you use a sight pusher to install yours or otherwise

No, I have my gunsmith do it for $15. I've had new sights on guns probably six times ever. It's just not really cost effective for me to get a sight pusher when I use it maybe once in two years.
 
Ditto on the CAP sights, have them on all my glocks.
I use the green ones which are luminescent paint , the orange are not luminescent.
They both have a tritium dot in the front.
They have dramatically improved how quickly I can acquire the sight picture.
I use them for defense and uspsa guns.

I went back and forth on the color, but I come down solidly on the side of orange, because for me with any ambient light, orange is more visible. The green luminescent paint is only helpful if it's been exposed to strong light.

But they absolutely improve sight acquisition and also, because they make it so easy to focus on the front sight, my groups are much tighter.
