    Default Fiber optic pistol sight preference?

    Fiber optic owners, do you prefer red or green? I just had fiber optic sights installed on my Colt 1991A1 (which look great and had an amazingly fast turn around at Ready Aim Fire! in Bristol). I currently have Red on the gun but think I might prefer green. Just want to get other people's opinions.

    Swap it out my man. See how you like it.

    Personally, I had the red on mine and swapped to the greem for about 3 minutes. I couldn't pick it up as well and it just didn't do it for me. Put the red backin and never looked back.

    YMMV

    I started out with red, then yellow, then went to orange, then green.....and went to back to red.

    Red was too bright for me at first and I found I wouldn't box the sights as neatly as I needed to. As I got used to the fiber, I was able to use a brighter color and still focus on the fine details of the front sight post.
