Plastic front sights?

[Deplorable Me]

I don't like plastic insert front sights on my handguns. They seem fragile. If I want hi viz front sights I paint out the iron sights with fluorescent paint, touch up as needed.

What sights do you have that are plastic?

Are you referring to fiber optics?

Yes, I see fiber optic sights as a weak link.

I honestly used to feel this way, but have since changed my mind..

I have them on a couple of shotguns and my Mk iv. Once I swapped the red ones out for green, I really like them.
