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 have now had my Heinie Straight Eight night sights for about 10 days, and I LOVE them. The sight picture is perfect in any light, and the two-dot Trijicon night sights are amazingly bright. It is amazing how fast you can line this gun up in the dark. They are perfect.
Best combo IMO is the Ameriglo GL-433 which is the flat black serrated rear combined with the super bright orange ring around the green optic in the front. Awesome combo on my G27. You can see the orange across the room.
I just put on a set of Ameriglo's consisting of the ProGlo orange front and Pro Operator Rear in yellow. This is my favorite and quickest sight system to date. Ameriglo had them to my door in 24 hrs via UPS too, so nothing but thumbs up for em.
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:
Check out the Ameriglo Pro Operator Rear ...same as you have in photo but without the white rings....makes that ProGlo front stand out even more during the daytime and gives the same three dot glow at night.
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've had Trijicon, Meprolight, Glock and Tru-Glo TFO's and I'd say I like how bright the Glock/Meps are at night, but I really like the fiber-optic daytime brightness of the TFO's.

Would this combo work together well? I want to keep sights the stock height front and rear. Or, mainly want to keep the front stock height, guess what I'm asking is this rear sight the correct height to use with a stock height front sight? Thinking about these for my G26.
Front
GL-212-OR-C
(standard stock height) Height 0.165 Width 0.140
ProGlo ORANGE / GREEN
Rear
GL-229-OP-R
Height 0.256 Width 0.180
Pro Operator Series YELLOW
Trijicon does not make HDs for the G36 unfortunately. Have HDs on my 27 and love them. Went on the Trijicon website to see what model of HDs would fit on my 36 and found that they don't have a set for 36's. Bummer. Really want to put them on my 36.
I have standard Trijicon Green/Yellow night sights in my Gen III G23 ... Love them. In fact if I was a rich man I would be so satisfied with all Trijicon optics , everything thry make is great and tjry make about all you need from AccuPoint riflescopes , ACOG AR sights , Reflex and RMR red dot/reflex styles etc. night sights for pistols shotguns rifles etc. They just happen to be absolute crazyvexpensive.
