Re: BROWNSVILLE Middle School kid ignored signs

On the Advantage sights, they come with all colors
color selector is just to preliminarily play with
http://www.advantagetactical.com/colors.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When selecting colors, prior to mounting the sights, I tried various lighting situations (backlit, evening, etc etc and also various backgrounds (like you can't predict if a bad guy will be in a black coat or white T shirt ....)
Try some combinations. I tried several before settling. I'm not a fan of the red front they show ...
On all my guns I use the bright orange rear, and bright yellow front ... the yellow contrasts enough with a white shirt etc, is bright enough to contrast with any dark colors, be seen in low light etc ...

But you get all colors and can select whatever you like best .. just do your contrast testing after you get them, and before installing because the XD sights are kinda tight dovetails where Glocks are simpler

I'm not posting a link, I was tempted to comment on the story, but, compassion prevents it.
I never look at parents or family members comments after one of their relatives get shot. The responses they make are usually irrational as they go through the denial phase that their child was in the wrong and the police had to do what they did.
Good policy, I usually don't either, I ran across it by accident.

Note the use of the word "brandishing".
