I plan to conceal carry my 20SF and I want to put night sights on it. I was thinking about the low profile meprolight sights but wanted to see if anyone had other suggestions for me. Thanks.

Without a doubt, I recommend Heinie Straight Eight night sights. I've shot with stock Glock polymer sights, Glock night sights, TruGlo night sights, Trijicons, and maybe one or two others. The only type I've never used are the fiber optic type (like the TruGlo TFOs). I think they would be great, but I've heard of them breaking with even 9mm and .40S&W. I can't imagine they would hold up to 10mm abuse.

My other recommendation would be the Ameriglo Hacks. The Hacks are just any combination of front and rear sights. You can choose any rear sight, and combine it with any front sight. They make a Hack set that looks like it would be awesome. If you go look back through some General Glocking threads, you will find the pictures. Some guy has two G19s with them on both. They are tritium rears with a tritium front, but the front sight has a big orange square on it. You have to call and ask for it specifically, because it's not on their site (or so he said). They also make one with an orange circle, but the square just looked awesome. I think it would be perfect for a carry gun. The bright orange front would make for VERY quick daytime sight acquisition, while the tritiums would work great at night. I think the best combo would be that front sight with a single dot rear. That would make it better for daytime target use, and I like the 2-dot arrangement best at night.

The Heinie Straight Eights are simply awesome, though. I have them on my G29, and couldn't be happier. In daylight, they are the best sight picture I've ever seen. At night, they are amazing. They have the brightest tritium I've seen (Trijicon vials), and the 2-dot setup is great. The front tritium vial is larger and brighter, so it's easier to pick up. At first, I thought the 2-dot setup wouldn't be as precise at night, because you wouldn't have a good idea of elevation, but just windage. However, that's not really the case. It's easy to learn where to hold the dots, and at SD ranges, it's not going to matter. You just stack the two dots and fire.

Here are some pictures of the Heinies:

Here are pictures of the Ameriglo Hacks that I like. I would prefer the iDot rear sight, but I really like the front:

Heinie Straight Eights would be my suggestion. Had them on every Glock I've owned.

Im looking at some xs night sights myself, they look just like the heinie straight eights above, but the vials are outlined in white for easier daytime sight acquisition.

I have Fiberoptic Tritium sights, I think by Meprolight. Best of both, they glow big and bright day or night.

I was. Looking at the truglo ones but they are huge.

I have Truglo TFO's on my 22 and 20, Meprolights on my G19 and Ameriglos on the 36. Of all of mine I like the Truglos the best. Easy to see and pick up in the night. My son has a set of Hienie Straight 8's (non nite site) on his 1911 and I really like them. I will really think about the Straight eights on my next Glock because I do like the sight picture of his, otherwise it will be another set of TFO's.

Most of my Glocks have night sights. I've got Glock NS, Trijicon HD (orange outline,) XS Big Dots, TruGlo TFO on the subcompacts.

G21 has the TruGlo TFOs. Pretty good in daylight, and work well at night. Not sure what I'll put on the G20 SF yet...

Check 'em out in person. I would have never considered the TFOs had I not seen them up close. They're installed on the G26, too.

Do ou find the truglos to be to bulky for concealed carry?

 

[blackgun556]

I have the TruGlo TFO on my 29sf. I have about 300 rounds threw it with no problems. I carry it every day and had no problems with there size. I love them day or night.

 

[awdxtc]

Those sights do look bad ass. I just watched a video on youtube and they look really bright during the day which to me is a huge plus.

 

[blackgun556]

They are very impressive

 

[inspectorjj]

I just got Mepro adjustable night sights and so far I am very impressed with them. I was able to get 2" groups at 15 yds. Somebody younger may have done better but I can live with it.

Not at all. Here they are installed on G26:

 

[peterj]

I've got Warren Tacticals and love them. 2 dot like the straight 8's but with a U notch rear.

I've been trusting my life to Trijicons for over 30 years. It's hard to improve on something that works this good.

Here is a pic. of the TFO on 29sf

in the day. Light up very well.

I usually install Meprolights on all my pistols but because of my declining vision I decided to go with TFO's on my Glock.

TFO's on a 20SF.
