Replacement Iron sights for AR-15?

hello again

i was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions for replacement iron sights for a ar-15 rifle, that fit on the stadard carry handle and front sight post? i would rather not use optics on my rifle but the stock irons leave much to be desired. i would prefer something the remains as accurate as the stock sights but is quicker to sight and could also be used at night or low light (tritium??) Any help is appreciated.

    Tritium's are overrated & you don't want any lenses or projected reticles, hmmmm... let's see... ever checked out the stuff AO (exCUSE me! It's ExpressSight Systems now, apparently) sells for tactical? They have tritium front posts with the green glow surrounded by a nice white ring, also plain front posts (round or square) with just a white stripe up the back. You can swap the back flip aperture for a larger pair to improve low-light acquisition. Not cheap, but then nothing worthwhile ever is.

    I kind of like the Trijicon Reflex 2, myself.

    New gun??? No, honey, I've had it for years.

    I'm a big fan of Aimpoint on a scout mount...

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Those Reflex II's are nice though. I think I might have to look into them.
