I'm a belt and suspenders kinda guy and I have night sights on every pistol that I keep primarily for self defense. I also keep lasers on two of my primaries (soon to be 3) that accept Crimson Trace grips. I'm also going to two colors for my next night sights.

Ok here's why. Mainly because my near vision ain't what it used to be. In low light I can line up 3 glowing dots a whole lot faster than a black notch and blade. The lasers are just an additional tool and not my primary sighting system. I can come up with a half dozen scenarios where the extra speed or the ability to fire on target before the sights line up could be handy if things unravel too quickly. They are strictly an edge. In a hostage situation a red dot on a bad guy's forehead could be a nice edge.
