I'm considering changing out the sights on my G43. Just wondering what you all prefer on yours. Do most of you stay with the stock sights? If not, what aftermarket sights do you prefer?

Preferred Sights for G43?
I prefer factory - mainly because I think night sights are a waste.
If you ever need your Glock for SD, you will be better off practicing POINT SHOOTING.
Think about it this way - you have been pointing all your life - hands, fingers, thumbs, etc.
With a target at 15 to 20 feet, practice acquiring your gun; full size, compact, sub compact, micro, whatever, point at your target and check shot placement.
May not happen right away, but you will be surprised how well you shoot - with a little practice.
Dry fire will help, but the proof comes at the range.

Neldon makes a good point that you are prolly not going to be lining up your sights while someone is trying to chop your head off with a machete.
Even so, I am not a huge fan of plastic Glock sights - though they do work just fine. I prefer XS Big Dot sights for a quick sight picture.

You can get most Glock’s factory equipped with night sights, Glock night sights are comparable and preferred (by me) to anything else.
I always run fibers. Nights sights and stock are just hard to be accurate after 15 yards. The front sight covers everything. I like to have more control.
Normally I run Vogel or TTI but swapped to frank proctor fibers as his are coated and don’t rust like Vogel/Dawson’s do. I almost dropped trijicon fibers but ended up with frank proctor on my 43x

Factory Glock Night sights from Glock USA store under "Gun parts". Best price anywhere, $67, made by Mepro. Easy to install.

Don’t know if Tricijon makes HD’s for the 43, but got them on (3) 26’s, (3) 17’s and (1) 30s.
I also use these for competition, GSSF out to 25 yards, Steel Challenge at 35 yards and ground hogs at 47 yards.
I can keep shots in a 4” bull and do not worry about covering up a point of aim like the Express Dots do.
Good Luck.

I added the Ameriglo Agents to my 43, and I’m very pleased with them. Planning to add them to my 45 as well.
Regular Trijicon “bright and tough” 3 dot night sights. I had the HD’s on my 42, but they felt too crude shooting at longer distance.
