green is the brightest
the yellow does offer some contrast but from the yellow night sights i have seen i really dont like them. the green green is really bright and i have no problem with them

Agreed. Green/green because it is the brightest. Some people claim contrast makes it easier to line up the sights or something... It might, maybe, but how hard is it to line up sights? Being able to see them clearly is more important if you ask me, so I'm sayin green/green.

The green/yellow makes it easier for me to focus on the front sight. I haven't seen the green/green so I can only compare the green/yellow to the stock sights that came with my XD.

I have both and I prefer the green/green. Not sure exactly why, just personal preference.

Makes sense.

The most important thing is that green is in the front.

Yes, green is in front and yellow is in back.

I'd rather have my XD and not need it, then need it and not have it....

I'm thinking about the Green/Green on my 9sc..... The yellows just don't seem as bright in the pictures I've seen.
