I'm getting closer to starting my first build. When I do, another little part I've been considering is an illuminated trijicon, XS, or tru-glow front sight post. I have every intention of using the irons sights on this rifle with nothing else on it. Having said that, I want a very functional front sight post and I intend to stretch the gun out shooting as far as my abilities will let me.
What do you all think of illuminated front sight posts. I've never even had night sights on a handgun, but that’s mostly because I’m cheap as I can be. I’ve never had them on an AR either, but with building my own it’s something I’m considering trying out. The problem I see is that most of the reviews on midway for any of them really aren’t that flattering.
What are your thoughts/experiences?
