Have you tried them? Do you like them? Just curious. I myself find I tend to shoot poorer with them because the front post is so bright it washes out the silhouette of the blade making it harder to level my sights as well. Anyone use them and like them?

I have on my GP100 and really like it, but I also use a ORH rear peep which makes the system. I have tried a FO with a standard notch rear and it just ain't the same. 
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I use the green fiber optic sight on my 460. I like it better than the gold bead sight that also comes with it.

I prefer and shoot better with them than a standard ramp front.

Used the FA green fiber optic on my .475 for lion this year. Worked great, but gets a little fuzzy for old eyes.

I prefer FO's for hunting, but for shooting scores on paper, a matte black undercut front sight is preferred. That said, I ain't seen any critters with score rings. 
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I've found the best combination for me is a green fiber optic front with a V-notch rear.
