The Troopers are my favorites. I like the Hackathorns and Agents as well but the edges on them are sharper and irritate my skin while riding in a vehicle.

Watch for sales at Optics Planet. I think I bought my last set for about $90 with free shipping.

 

Cool. Thanks for the info!

 

I'm using Trijicon HD night sights on my 19, really like them.

 

I'll look into those. Thanks!

 

I like the ameriglo protectors for non-mos and the i-dots for mos 43x/48 models.

 

There are several sight sets that are very similar to what you have listed.
They have subtle differences and your price is about $20 high buying from the manufacturer.

Yellow or orange front sight ?
U-notch or square notch rear ?
De-horned ? (some will have smoother edges)

Trijicon are nice but are always a few bucks more.

The wife has a Vickers Special Edition G43 and it came with a Wilson Combat rear and Ameriglo front.
You can get the pieces at Wilson Combat.

Brownells sells Ameriglo Agent for $98 and they are almost identical to your Trooper sights.
Glock sells Ameriglo Bold which is similar to Agent except square notch.

Many options.
Your pistol is a "Slim Line" so make sure you buy sights for the narrower slide of the G43.

 

So much to consider. Thank you for all that information.

I spent the money on the Trijicons for my 43X. I wanted to like them so bad. I found that narrow front sight post was just not providing me with the accuracy Im used too. And during the daytime the rear sight is basically all black and too dark for me. Reluctantly I ripped them off the gun and put on the Truglo TFX Pro with the tritium green and orange front sight. The rear is super bright green during the day, for me it was worth the switch as i really like bright clear sights, i dont think you can get much brighter or clearer than these. I know the Trijicons are popular, but not if you want bright sights.

 

This ^^^ is a perfect example of how subjective sight preferences are :

Sounds like the original sight was a Trij HDXR with the thinner front sight blade designed for more precise, longer range shooting (XR = extra range).
The standard Trij HD has a thicker front sight blade, more adapted to closer ranges.

An all black rear sight is preferred by many shooters for outdoor shooting.
Very typical in a competition sight set.

A shooting buddy loves the TruGlo TFX but they are "too busy" for me for daytime shooting.
Maybe night shooting, I would like them.

 

These are the ones I put on my 48. Like them.

Night sights? Only Trijicon. Standard sights (black or fiber optic front) Dawson Precision, Taran Tactical, Heinies.

 

There are a couple of Ameriglo sights that I own and recommend. Ameriglo PROTECTOR or I-Dot. They both have the same front sight, the LUMI-GREEN. The front has a tritium vial plus a glow-in-the-dark circle. This front sight is one of the best I’ve seen. I love it.

The PROTECTOR has two rear sight options, but plain rears with no tritium. The I-Dot has a single tritium creating a “figure 8” sight picture. Cost on Amazon will be between $60 and $80. A 3 tritium system will cost a bit more.

 

You can also get i-dots with a white bold front or the orange bold front as well as the green, FYI. I personally like the green.

 

I'm partial to X/S night sights.

 

In that case Sir, you have excellent taste in handgun sights...

I have the XS Big Dot set up on my G43X.

XS Big Dot Glock Sights | Tritium Night Sights (xssights.com)

 

I put the Ameriglo "U" notch serrated rear and the tritium front on my G19. They are perfect!

 

I have 0.125 Dawson FO fronts and Sevigny rears on all my Glocks.

 

Have you tried any of the XS Sights? They make several models of sights, some of them available in suppressor height. Back in the day I used to install 3 Dot Trijicon sets on semi-auto pistols, but a few years back I went to XS Sights DXT Standard Dots. Now that the newer version of the DXT (DXT2) is out, XS stopped listing the DXTs' on their web site, but they still sell them. I don't know if the DXTs' are old stock, but I prefer them to the DXT2 (in either Standard Dot or Big Dot), and XS Sights has a "No Questions Asked Warranty" (to the original purchaser) for 12 Years so they'll warranty them if they stop glowing.

Anyway, I like the DXTs' design because the DXT's shallow "V" rear sight doesn't obscure the area around the front sight like notched rear sights do. This very simple sight system is low profile with smooth edges so it works well for CCW. Just "dot the i" and WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what you-get). One caveat is that users who mount a Big Dot Set may have to enlarge the front sight channel on a Kydex holster. Shooters with leather holster may be SOL (unless your holster manufacturer can tailor the front sight channel to accommodate the Big Dot front sight).

Below are some photos of a (XS) DXT Standard DOT Set mounted on a G43X "Rail" (G43X Slide mounted on a G43X/G48 MOS Frame). Glock sells this configuration in Europe as the "G43X Rail".

Thank you for all of that information and the pictures. I will definitely look into those, from the images alone, they look pretty great.

 

I love my stock sights on my Glock. What is it that does not impress you with them?

 

It's probably just me and my inexperience with shooting, but I find them difficult to see/line up in certain settings. I shot a 1911 with an orange front sight, and I really liked it. I thought maybe if I changed out the stock ones on my Glock for something brighter I would have an easier time.

 

Be careful ordering sites from Optics Plant. I had an issue with Trijicon HD front site. The customer service was terrible.

 

I like blacked out rear with big dot front. XS or similar quality. I'll sacrifice 50 and 100 yard capability. It's a defensive handgun after all. Can't do 3 dots anyone not even competition guns. Not even sure why people are buying up all these huge bright rear sight sets. Most everyone I know that trains with them takes a black sharpie to them.

 

i know they're combat sights, but the XS Big Dot sights were a no-go for me. Couldn't hit shinola at 50 yards, and that's no fun.

 

I have Trijicon HD on all my Glocks.

 

Troopers on my G26
Agents on my G30S
HDs on my P220

All are excellent. I thought there might be some problem switching between them but I‘ve not had any issues.

What I gave was my opinion based on my EXPERIENCE. That isn't "bias". It's not like I didn't give valid reasons why I didn't like the Truglo sights and state how the construction wasn't ideal FOR ME. One other thing that I didn't mentions is that the TFX Pro rear has some really sharp corners. More than once I got caught on an edge or a corner with a fair amount of bleeding. I did keep the rear on with the Ameriglo front for awhile after dehorning it. They're in my bin if someone wants to make me an offer for them.

I bought them because they were highly rated and they were my first set of night sights. Not as bright at night as straight night sights or good in the day time like regular fiber optic sights. I probably took them off faster than you did.

 

I like AmeriGlo or TRUGLO sights on my Glocks.
I recently bought a set of Night Fision sights for my G48 upper. Night Fision yellow color front sight is really visible!

 

For pure night sights, Trijicons are the best, Glock's 19X sights are also very bright...

I have these XS sights on my 43x and have been quite satisfied. They compare favorably to the Ameriglos that came with my 19.

I put Tru-Glo sites on my 19. Works good.
