Going on a Glock 19, I'm torn so help me decide. These are going on a carry gun. Keep in mind, the night sight portion of each sight is made by Trijicon
.Spartan Tacticals - Ameriglo 
HD Yellow - Trijicon

I don't think you can go wrong with either.
If it was me, I'd go for which ever one I could get for the least amount of money. I have Meprolight on my Kimber 1911 and they work great also!   |

Trijicon.
The "U" shaped rear sights with a big 'o' front are nice and fast. |

The Trijicons also come in Orange, look harder, I have a set on a TRP I gave to my dad.
Also the vials are really recessed into the sights, so they're virtually impossible to break. |

I have the Ameriglo square paint front sight, and I love them. I got the green front yellow rear as well, but they didn't have a combo for that when I got them. They have been banged on quite a few things and are still G2G. You won't be disappointed, especially with the money left over.

If it's too dark to see your sights, it might be too dark to see your target. I do have some Ameriglos on a few pistols however, and they work well. |

Glock hates a stripped slide and will usually put a new firing pin and extractor in for free before they send it back to you it. so for $57 you get night sights plus spares of all the slide parts.

I had a set of orange front HD's installed on my 19 and I was pleasantly surprised just how quick to pick up they are. To the point where I am contemplating taking the new night sights off of a Sig m11a1 and replacing them with HD's. |

I have Ameriglo Pro I-Dots on both my G19 and shield. They are great sights. When shooting in the daytime the rear sight acts almost like a plain sight which I prefer, but still lets you get the sights lined up in the dark.

One thing I will note is that I have a tendency to shoot slightly high with the HDs at times. In the pictures you posted, do you notice the soft, rounded edge where the rear-face meets the top of the sight? That often catches light, which makes it hard to line up the top of the sight precisely. The sight actually appears slightly shorter, depending on the lighting. Now, when I "shoot high", I mean a few inches at twenty yards, which doesn't really translate to a significant difference at typical self-defense distances. At closer distances, I have absolutely no complaints, and find the HDs almost as fast as my FO sights.
I haven't tried any sight-black on the radius, yet. I don't shoot these sights in matches, so I haven't been compelled. |

Mepros are a great option. Frankly I was unhappy with the set of AG's I bought. Dots were small amd the front sight had lots of gap with the rear sight.

I'm weird in that I like old dying night sights.
Brand new is just too damned bright in any sort of environment I'd be using them in. That being said, I carry a flashlight with me when I carry. |
