Hey, folks.

What do people think of gold inserts?  I like the 10-8 rear sights, and I was debating a front sight with either a gold or tritium insert.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I have three guns now that have them.
I actuallly prefer them to night sights or fiber optics. I use gold bead on the front sight, and a typical blade or modified blade rear sight. I have never used anything better for rapid target acquisition.
They also don't tarnish.

YMMV, but I love 'em.

Cool, thanks for the input.  I've read good things about it, but I haven't played them with myself.

On my favorite 1911, I have an SDM rear "Tactical Target" and a front gold bead sight built by Sams Custom Gunworks. I carry it everyday, and I love it.

They really work.
