Nitesiters **Super Photo Luminescent Handgun Night Sights**
Just ran across these while searching night sight prices....just wondering if anybody has had any experience with them.

You get what you pay for. Stick on dots that have to be charged by a light source unlike Tritium which produces its own light.

Probably ok for something that you dont trust your life with.

The fact that they sell UV chargers for the sights does not convey confidence in that product.

I got something like that on EBay one time. Yep, I had a moron moment.

My SKS came with "flip up night sights" which worked the same way. They don't stay charged for very long, and I certainly wouldn't want to count on them in an emergency situation.

Kind of coincidental, but I just read a thread last night on ktog.org forums about nitesiters. It started last October and there seemed to be a number of very satisfied folks. I've never used this product, and it really doesn't seem like my cup o'tea, but it may be exactly what you are looking for.

Here's a link if you want to read up on some real reviews.

I think it would be a decent product for guns that don't have nightsights available (not many of them). For anything else, there's just no reason to use them when you can get something that works much better without having to worry about whether or not they'll be "charged" when you need them.

I kind of figured that there wouldn't be much good to say about them....just checking cant beat that price..(if they work) looks like Ill save my 10 bucks and keep up the search
