That's good science based info right there,,,
And not one pun anywhere.

I'm old enough to remember back in the late 60's and the 70's,,,
When the Oklahoma City FD changed over to the "Gawd-Awful Green".

That's what my Mom called the color anyways,,,
But they surely stood out in the dark.

There wasn't any consensus early yesterday,,,
So I flipped a coin and ordered red,,,
Now everyone is saying green.

~Sheesh!~ I can't win.

I have two NEOS pistols though,,,
So if the red front sight seems ineffective,,,
I'll order a second one in the green color for comparison.

If the green seems to be better for me,,,
I'll order a green light tube like BigJimP suggested.

Thanks for your input gentlemen,,,
I'll post my impressions of the new sight after I try it out.
