Your front sight isn't like a red dot, you cant just point that front sight into the dark and expect to hit your target without some aim and alignment. You need those rear sights to glow too to give you something to compare that front sight to, so you get some idea where your rounds are heading. Especially important if you live close to other homes, have family in other rooms, or live in an apartment. You are responsible for every round that leaves your muzzle, make sure they are on target and make them count.
While this is all true, I'd rather have a trijicon front sight and standard rears than fiber or some shitty truglo that's gonna fall off as soon as I fire the gun. With proper training, sight alignment=muscle memory and then all that does matter is the front sight. That's the one in focus, after all. Let's be real here though: If you're shooting your gun in the fucking dark relying only on your night sights you A: Have fucked up, tactically and B: are gonna be so hopped up on adrenalin that you'll be lucky to remember that your pistol has sights at all.
Also, yeah definitely: If you have an outdoor range you abso fucking lutely should do some burpees and sprints and get out of breath and shakey and sweaty and then try to put some rounds on target. Bonus points for low light. I know for Cola Warrior you run an obstacle course, get an insulin spike from 6 sugar nuggets then "hey, go run a mile fatty" before you get to shoot. It adds a completely different element to bulletproof walls on either side and range walls guiding your eyes to the target.
