Ive been considering getting one but I just dont know how they work, a quick google search didnt help matters. Can anyone explain how these work and maybe post a pic of them installed in your gun.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rod

Rod, here's a short video that may help you...

Basically, the fiber optic rods use
ambient light to make a bright glow "dot" that stands out against dark
backgrounds. They should work well in low-light situations, too.

AAAHHHH more stories on the FO sights..
SO I am wlaking around the gun show, toting a DW on each hip, including my beloved (the one with all the neat stuff, like LB winged grip and the newly acquired green FO on a 6VH. I am showing a guy and he remarks: " you need to be careful with those plastice FO sights going and out of the holster, they break all the time"
So I draw it out again and bring it up real close... "Its all metal"
"Oh?, well then you really got something there!"

I can't believe that someone would make those out of plastic. These are real firearms, not toys.
On a parallel subject, namely standard sights, I tried to buy a bunch (10 each) of yellows and whites from DW. They no longer have any, UGH!
So, I was just going to use Eric's FO sights on all my 8-inch barrels because those are the ones I shoot most. But it looks like I will be mounting a lot more of Eric's FO sights than I originally planned.
That's not a bad thing for shooting, but it's not too cool for collecting. I had one blow away its white insert a few weeks ago. I couldn't find it so that one is trash.
Just thought you guys might like to know.
