What’s the better ones out there available? Seen a brand called Bolan that is relatively inexpensive, are they any good though ?

How much? And how long does it take?You send your slide to Glock, and they install them...they are pretty cheap.
I agree except I like the U notch rear sight. I just sold a G17 with AmeriGlow sites which I thought was great night sight. Very low light rear site with a bright front sight. My EDC is a G19 with Trijicon XD sights which I really, really don't like for night sights. I subscribe to the theory get your front sight on the target and go. I might be wrong actually dead wrong but makes sense to me.I have Ameriglo Hackathorn sights on my G19 (edc):

I prefer a very visible front sight and an all black rear sight.
However, as you look at different options - it comes down to personal preference.
Same here. I have a set on my g26 that are still bright after 11 yearsMeprolite makes a G26 night site I use them on all my G's.
Why would you mail off your slide and wait weeks without your gun, when installing sights is a 5 minute job any monkey can do? The only special tool you arguably need is a tool to fit the front sight screw, which comes with a lot of brands of sights and is cheaper than postage if it doesn't. At worst, if you are so mechanically incompetent you have trouble fastening your own seatbelt and can't put sights on a Glock, gun shops will often put them on while you wait.You send your slide to Glock, and they install them...they are pretty cheap.
That's great in the light, but when it is fairly dark how do you see if your front is properly aligned with the rear?I have Ameriglo Hackathorn sights on my G19 (edc):
