AR-15 night sights?

Any of you guys run night sights on your ar rigs? If so what kind? I’ve been looking at getting some for mine. I’m a big fan of the XS big dot night sights and have them on a 870 and my Glock 23 and 26. Not really want to go the red dot or scope route. I’ve shot the Eotech on another set up and really liked it but, I’m just wanting to keep it simple. BTW I’m just running the basic A2 front sight and carry handle on mine.

XS sights are certainly a great option.

If your concern is reliability, an Aimpoint optic is almost, if not as reliable as irons.
And the light reccomendation was spot on as well.
Every carbine that may be used for home defense needs a light.


But I understand too if you just want a very simple setup, nothing wrong with that!

Got another question. Could I just change out the sight on the A2 post (front sight) and leave the factory back sight? Or would I have to change both?

A tritium rear sight isn't the least bit necessary on an aperture sight, so yes .... just a tritium front sight only will work just fine.
