Needed or not I do generally prefer the 3dot night sights. May eventually try a red dot but haven’t had the desire/spare budget to experiment in that direction yet.

Edit: That’s why they threw a mag well on there. They want it to look like a competition gun. A mag well on a carry gun with that capacity is just goofy. But Sig knows it will appeal to some people and help them sell more.

Allow me. Sig is skimping on the sights. It’s a cost savings measure. I understand that people think it doesn’t matter because they’re going to use a red dot. What about the non-red dot user that wants a future-proof gun (red dot ready)? Sure, a fiber optic front and blacked out rear sight looks great under ideal, sunny outdoor conditions. They disappear in low light conditions. Companies are saving money with blacked out rear and fiber optic fronts. They say, “hey it’s what the competition guys use!” Well, if I wanted a competition gun, I’d buy one. They should have included their excellent X-ray3 sights for this price.
