Quite frankly, I stick with night sights or even standard non-illuminated sights. At close range confrontations, aiming is not always possible. I have practiced enough point shooting that I do not have to rely on sights even out to 25 yards to hit my target. Center ass is not hard to do. Head shots are a little more challenging and may require some aiming. If someone is into speed shooting, I can see the purpose for using a red-dot optic. I do not see the point in using a laser. If you can see what you are pointing at, why would you need one?
Be aware that at night very bright night sights can reveal your position if you do not shield them say with your hands.

Unknown to me until I had that 1911 in position SUL was how bright those night sights were. I can still remember seeing them light up the front of my body armor as the 1911 was resting in my had. I could distinctly see my colleague's 1911 next to me and we both could see each other's face. Our faces showed surpried and the "oh f___" factor as we hope the two bodies carrying AK47s coming toward us couln't see the radiating tritium night sights that gave away our position.
