...if so, as good or better than Trijicon? If so, are they a LOT more than Trijicon? I'm sure their more, but a lot?

...AND? I know Ive heard, read, don't remember all the places and times...that two dot YELLOW on rear, and GREEN on front...your brain auto draws your eyes to the front GREEN. Or do I have this bass akwards?...[:D] I NEED HELP HERE W/THIS FOR SURE [:D]

Or is there another adj. night sight that is really good...and similar to a Novak?

    The yellow ones are dimmer and your eye is naturally drawn to the bright green insert in the front sight. Kind of a cool concept, but....
    I'll bet they're really P.T sights. I had a set of those and they become very dim after only about two years. Even the bright green one, They told me by phone to return them for inspection, but not long after, I got them back marked "unauthorized return."
    So I replaced them woth Trijicon and haven't had any trouble. I have a set of Trijicons that are about twelve years old and they're still glowing. They are noticably dimmer than a newer set. But twelve years....not too bad!

    I just got a used Glock 35 that has night sites on it. I am not sure which brand they are.
    The front one is a bright green that shows well in just slightly reduced light. The rear is a red/orange color that only shows up when it is failrly dim. I have only had it about a month and havent had much time to pratice with it yet, but so far I like it. It is very easy to pick up under any light conditon.

    Yep, mine are all green. But now that you mention it, I think Trijicon offers the two colored ones too.
    I think they're really cool. But honestly, they're just a gimmick.
    If you're going to buy them for the cool factor, get the good ones. If you're going to depend on them in a SHTF situation, get the good ones.
