I realize that this is a pretty subjective question and that I will most likely be informed of the search feature of this forum (with mostly older results), but I'm gonna chance it anyways.
I'm a first time glock owner (36) and intend on eventually carrying it after getting my CCW permit. My question to the veteran glockers is about the brand and make of the tritium sights that you prefer. I live in a place where different night sights are not readily available for me to base an opinion on. I would like to have the brightest sights available that work great for both range time as well as home defense. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
I'm really digging the Trijicon HD sights. I remember reading somewhere that the Ameriglo sights use trijicon tritium tubes and even say trijicon on them. Anyone know if there's any validity to that? The 10% savings on the Ameriglo sights is certainly enticing. Basically, I'm looking at going with:
I have meprolight's on my 19 G4 they are orange/green, 36 has ameriglo's green/green and the 22 and 20 has Truglo TFO's. Of all these I personally like the TFO the best. They are very good in the daylight and show brighter in the dark. I also hit better with them. Next Glock I get I may try a set of straight eight night sights as one of our 1911's has straight eights and I really like them.
Ameriglo all the way. have used truglo, meprolights, trijicon and some that i cant even think of right now. trijicon warranty is not very user friendly. Ameriglo is my top pick, very good customer service, heard they have excellent warranty service, they offer the best price and they have many many different combinations.
I just picked up the trijicon HD sights for my glock 19 and have the yellow instead of orange "preference". I love the sights, like others have said there a bit more, but night and day better "pun" than the factory and I like them more than the standard night sights i have on my 1911 trijicon as well.
For quick target acquisition at close range, XS Big Dot Express tritium front & rear. These sights line up so quickly. The front sight stands out like a giant ball.
I was trying to figure out the same thing. I have the Ameriglo Hacks on my G19, but wanted to try something different. I like the Hacks, but like a little less light in the sight picture. So, I purchased the Warren Tactical all black rear w/ the tritium front for my G26. I haven't put them on yet, but they look great and the sight picture is nice. We will see how they shoot.
Start a thread with your question. Then use the search button and while you look for results and go through the threads, people will answer your question on your own thread or at least point you to the answer.
I use trijicons. Most of mine is green/green. I put trijicons on everything I can. I did make the mistake of replacing the trijicons on my 1993 G22 with an orange rear for contrast and a green front post. The problem there is orange burns out faster, so the rears will burn out before the front post. When that happens I will go with yellow rear sights for contrast, they burn out as fast as green. That is what I did with my G20. I put on a green front post with yellow rear sights. I like the contrast, because in low light and dark, it allows me to establish my front sight faster.
