Shotgun Sight Help

Treker22 · November 22, 2009, 05:45 PM

Hey All,

I posted this over at THR, but really haven't gotten much response. Thought I might try here.

I just got a Mossy 590A1 for HD and I'm trying to decide on which sight to get for low light conditions. Since I don't plan on hunting or shooting slugs, I'm just looking at front sights. I've got it narrowed down to either an XS Big Dot or a Truglo TFO. Any thoughts or experiences?

On indoor shotguns with luminous sights, bigger is better.

Bigger sights may actually cause aiming problems outdoors in daylight, but inside, the bigger it is the better it is to see.

Truglo have been pretty fragile in the pistol sights. You may want to check their warranty before plunking down you hard earned cash.

call Briley, 80% of their business is shotgun. I am sure that question has been asked a bunch of times.

Thanks for the replies!

rduckwor: I have read that the optic tubes have been known to fall out of Truglo sights. I check into the warranty.

What night sights do you all use?
