Yes, blue is an odd color choice for fiber optics indeed! I'm red color blind so red FO is bad for me, but even I might have balked at trying to use the blue pipe! | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I was embarrassed for Colt when it brought out that gun. Colt seems to connect itself to the color blue. It still offers its Competition and Gold Cup models with blue grip panels. When they first came out the Competition models with fiber optic sights came with red, green and blue fiber optic bars and they came from the factory with the blue bar installed. I guess nobody at Colt had ever tried to use the blue sight because it was obviously the worst of the three choices in almost any ambient light. Soon after, they started shipping with the red bar installed. If I had been shopping for a Colt Defender I would have passed on that blue one... |
