neck4752, All I can tell you is I recently bought a new sight and I went with the Radiant. Personally I couldnt not tell a bit of difference between the Radiant and the highest end Black Gold sight other than the plastic cover on the Flashpoint. I asked myself is it really worth 40 more dollars. To me it wasnt so i went with the lower grade. I have also found out that the purple plastic covering on the flashpoint can be ordered to fit the radiant if i want it. Other than that there isnt much noticeable difference than the number of pins they each have. I dont need more than 4 pins so i again went with the Radiant.
