I say just go with trijicon HD night sights. The TFO's get terrible reviews and to be honest the bright outline on the front HD sight is more than adeqaute for day time shooting.
Edit: I will have to respectfully disagree with the above poster about the XS big dots, I do not think a sight that big aids in anything but clothing snags unless you're old and really cannot see the front sight. |

I have shot them, and I like them. The rear sight channel seems a little narrow...and man, they're expensive. But you're probably right. Thank you for the ultra-fast reply.
*EDIT* Yeah, the Big Dots aren't for me... -Andrew |

No problem. I went through this ordeal!
They are expensive, no doubt about that. I believe the trijicon bright and tough are a little cheaper, but not as easy to pick up. |

I've been reading so much, haha. I'm a pretty patient dude but I'm kind've frustrated looking at all the sights. I think maybe I'll just hold off on purchasing sights. I'll end up with the HD's, eventually.

I have TFO's on my RTF2 17, yellow rears and green front. They are not bad, light up bright but the rear notch is a little too tight for me. I like a little more air between the front sight and the rear. I have several different types of sights on my Glocks, but prefer the Trijicon HD's, two of my four carry Glocks have them.
Glocks with aftermarket sights.

How many glocks do you have that don't have aftermarket sights?! |

I have both TFO sights and Trijicon HDs. The HDs win hands down for me.

Seems like the HDs are the winners around these parts. I'll just hold out to my next paycheck and pick them up probably. Hard to scratch a few pennies together when I'm building a new scary black gun. -Andrew |

Before shopping for sights, I had the opportunity to view Trijicon HD, BIg Dots, TFO, and 10/8's, outside and in low light.
In the end I went with TFO in primary b/c it suited my situation best (older eyes/script glasses/astigmatism). TFO in primary G19, XS Big Dot in BUG G17. All the major brands work well, just have to find what works best for [you], gl.

I wish they made TFO's in suppressor height, I have an Octane on order and have been looking for tall sights for my Glocks.

I've got TFOs on 5 of my Glocks and love them. The rest of my Glocks all have Glock night sights installed. At $57 installed from Glock with a 15 year warranty, they're a much better deal than the Trijicons in my opinion.
