Hi viz flashpoint vs Tricomp?

[Notlongago]

I see the flashpoint is longer, and cheaper. Both sights are made out of steel, so what am I missing? Why the $15 price difference? I'm leaning toward the flashpoint right now because longer FO= more light gathering unless someone can point me a different direction.

Has anyone else figured out a better way to secure the non-screwed on end other than a zip tie?

I like the Hi Viz tricomp because they sponsor the sport and the triangle front sight is a good slug sight for long range targets. I use the tip of the sight like a rifle sight.

The Flashpoint also has the triangle FO. Thats why Im struggling to see much of difference between the two.

The difference is how it mounts around the existing bead. I believe with the Flashpoint you screw the bead back in over that hole in the plastic frame, which helps hold it in place. So, the Flashpoint will sit closer to the shooter than the TriComp, giving you a shorter sight radius. Outside of that, I am not sure there is a huge difference.

Bigger is not better on shotgun sights. On a shotgun you shoot with a target focus so the bead shouldn't be overpowering.
