there is no such thing as the "best" nite-sites

the most popular are the 3-dot sights:meg-pros,trijicons...
this is what sig uses in their siglites. these work really well if you're good at linning up the dot horizonally and you have a good sense for equal space between dots...sooo superior vertical control (read less stringing)

the other way to go is dot in front and dot/bar in rear: heine,ashley... these work best if you can line things up vertically...soooo superior lateral control (read less side-to-side shot dispersion)

if you like the way the standard sights line up(dot the i) you'll like the ashley; if the express rear doesn't bother you. you might also look at the heine straight-eights.

i think the 3-dots are slower to line up,but its up to what you're used to. isn't it great having a choice?
