If you want minute of man at close range, they're fine. If you want to hit in the black at 21 feet, they're not likely to be great.
I wound up swapping my rear sight back to standard but keeping the big front dot on one of my pistols. height was the same so it worked okay.
Given the bolded qualifier above, I think they're fine.my eyes are shot. need some help. how are these sights for a home defense handgun?
As someone with pretty bad eyes/astigmatism, color and contrast are going to help a LOT more than sight size.
I would recommend any of the front night sights with a day-glo bright surround (yellow or orange) and a plain black rear with a wide notch (U or square). Ameriglo and Trijicon are good options for the fronts.
Ameriglo makes a rear sight with a .180 notch. In conjunction with one of the bright front sights, you can get a very fast sight picture with big light bars on the side for alignment confirmation.
this helps a tonI think they are fine for typical handgun range of 50 yds or less. I used them on a Glock 17 in USPSA for a while.
I only have them on my Glock 43x right now and I don't shoot it much but ran a couple mags through the gun quick today. This wasn't slow fire so I think there is more accuracy to be had.
Under 15 yards you need to cover your intened point of impact with the front sight. As you go past 15 yards you move to a 6 o'clock hold. If you were using 6 o'clock hold at close range that may explain why the shots were low.
