I've been told, and also tried it at home, that with a flashlight, the ambient light that is created is enough to see your sites. If it was so dark that you could not see the end of your gun then you can't see your target either. I tried this with my shotgun and pistol with a surefire 6Z. Guess what. The reflected light was enough to see my sights clearly. I am considering adding some glow in the dark paint (phospherous)to the front shotgun site and on my 3 dot pistol. They will glow just enough to increase visibility.
Didnn't need it in my test though.

If you are outdoors and you can't get any reflected light from your flashlight then nightsites would be useful. Either way you still need a flashlight cause if you can't see your sites you can't see your target.

I've heard to many people say I don't need a flashlight because I have night sites....duh.
