Low light encounters are extremely common. I forget the statistics, but I believe they are more common that regular-light encounters.

Night sights are nice, but just because you can see your sights....it doesn't mean you can see what you're aiming at. You need to be able to see what you're aiming at. You don't want to shoot your kid or family member or buddy cause you thought that they were someone else.

One of my buddy's got some night sights on his Glock because his buddy at the FBI had night sights. He found they work great for seeing his sights in the dark, but he can't see anything else... so in the end they're not that useful to him.

A flashlight is better than night sights. You can ID your target. You can also use it to search. And you can use it for a million other things. I believe a flashlight is essential equipment. Night sights are a 'nice to have'.
