Does anyone have experience with any of the AR15 fiber optic front sights like the sightlink, firesight, hi-viz, ect? I like the fiber front sight on my pistol and want something comparable for my 9mm ar since it will be iron sight only.

Just bought the Hi-Viz at my LGS this afternoon but haven't had a chance to do anything with it.  At under $25 out the door, I figured it was worth a shot.  Will try to remember to post some feedback after I have a chance to shoot with it sometime during the next week.

I don't have personal experience with them on an AR-15, but I have friends who have fiber optic sights on their pistols and other rifles. They seem to do what they are intended to do.

The Firesight looks like it would be capable of gathering light better, but the the Hi-Viz appears to be a good compromise for ruggedness due to being fully encapsulated in clear plastic and more compact of a unit.

I'm with RandyStacyE.  The Hi-Viz seems much more solid.

I have the Mounting Solutions fiber optic front sight post, in red.  I've found that my eye picks it up much faster than the stock post.  Highly recommended.

Hi-Viz green here.  Been running one on my SPR for three gun with Duek offset irons.  Very quick.
