"Devil's advocate would ask....and in a situation where it is too dark to see your sights and the distance is great enough to require them, you think it is safe to be firing your weapon? Seems a little tacti-cool to me."

There are numerous occassions where the combination of time and lighting is such that hunting for dark sights on a dark target is a needless disadvantage compared to immediately registering tritium sights under identical circumstances. And no, point shooting cannot solve everything, just as aimed shooting cannot. There's a time and a place, and night sights help solve a traditional draw back for half of that equation.

And... as hkg3 noted, the proof is often in the training pudding. Off the top of my head, I find people training with night sites to be faster and more accurate than the majority of their standard sight bretheren. (If pushed, I'd say 5% faster and 15% more accurcte.) Of course, everyone posting here is the exception, but not everyone is so lucky...
