A lot of great info here. Still have a question though. I am looking to replace the oem sites on my G26. It's my CCW pistol and is purely used for SD, it goes to the range a lot, but I am not shooting at targets any further out than 21 feet.
I was looking at trijicon HDs or XS Big Dots. It seems the gun celebs love the big dots but the regular shooter prefers the HDs. What are some opinions? Thanks! |

Instead of big dots I personally like a regular post and notch sight with a highly visible front sight and all black rears, but with a large amount of light/space between the post and notch.
With the added space they are very fast on target, yet very accurate if need be for longer shots. I use warren tactical/sevigny sights. Ameriglo also has some real good sights. |

I have the Trijicon HD sights on my G19 - front site is fine , but the rear site confuses my eyes expecially at night . What rear night sight would work will with my HD front sight?

I have big dots on my g30sf for carry and I love them. I had them on my M&P fullsize and they were much much harder to shoot with on that gun for some reason. |

Trijicon HD front/rear.
Just got these put on and haven't had a chance to go to the range with them yet. As for sight picture, it's far easier to acquire the front sight in all lighting conditions. In bright light the orange washes out a bit, but doesn't seem to hinder getting a good picture IMO. Shot was taken at arms length on a phone camera, so pardon the grainyness.

Glock 17 w/ Trijicon HD. I really love these sights. The orange front sight really "pops", and the rear notch really complements it well. You can see them perfectly at night too. They are a lot taller than stock factory Glock sights, which I've found to be useful for single hand weapon reloads/malfunction clearances.

So I got a set of the Trijicon HD's for my 19. I had no rear sight tool. The front went on simply enough. I let one of our armorers put the rear sight on. He was using the current Glock rear sight pusher/tool.
Apparently the new Glock tool does not play nice with the HD rear sight. The jaws went up and over the low portion of the rear sight. He didn't realize this is what happened. Then the tool got stuck. He couldn't get the tool off. He finally got the thing off, destroying the tool in the process. My slide is okay, but the rear sight is cosmetically marred for life. Lesson learned. The current Glock tool sucks, and should not be used for installing the HD rear sight. Or anything. Expensive lesson learned. |

I installed a set of Trijicon Glock 9mm sights on my Glock 30S 45ACP.
They fit perfect and POI is just a inch or two high at 10 yards which I consider perfect. If I had gone with the taller rear sight (45ACP) impact would have been too high for me. |

It is official. Glock sight tools are junk, MGW sight tools are awesome. I was loaned an MGW tool today and my sights went on with no issues. Put 20 rounds through the gun and they look great.
Now I'll probably end up buying the right tool for the job. Anyone know if an alumiblack pen will work on the rear sight? Gloss or matte? |

I believe they can be purchased individually from Optics Planet or directly from Trijicon. I'm currently running 10-8 sights with FO front and .140 rear but I can't help to think that a Trijicon HD front and .156 10-8 rear would be a great setup. What I'm wondering is if they're compatible (mainly height). |

Thin Pro Glo lime green front sight (GL-212-165-120)
Pro Operator rear sight (GL-227-OP-R) This is my favorite sight combo yet! 
It's as thin as the Operator Pro front sight (.120), but with the Pro Glo lime green ring. I am more accurate with a thinner front sight, but YMMV. |

Overdue shots of the sights.
TruGlo on the G26. Sight radius everyone talks about is really not that bad and has not given me any problems at the range. 
10-8 RB1 on the G17. If I can find an HD front sight its definitely getting swapped out. The front has a VERY small dot and its just not for me. Rear sight is exactly what I want.

I mistakenly (due to my lack of reading skills) bought the TruGlo Fiber Optic sights on Amazon, thinking they were TFO's at a really stellar price. Reading is critical, kids.
Anyways, already spent the money, so I thought I would stick with them for a little bit. So far, I've been happy with them. I've only shot it in daylight hours. 
9 out of 13 hits for the first mag on my new home made gong.  This is at about 35 to 45 yards. Trying to pace the distance is a real PITA.

Be sure to order a .165" tall front sight if keeping the stock rear. The big dot front sight is going to be too wide for the OEM rear. |

Okay so I have read this whole thread and some of the links in this thread. From what I am reading the fiber front sights will not work in the dark, just low light and daytime. I dont understand why the back sight would be all black. can someone explain? als I was on Ameriglo's website and I ave no clue what the difference between operator, U-rap, I dot, pro, pro operator, Hack , hackathorn, protector, Greek or Greece lighting, or any of the other styles. I just bought a G17 and I am waiting on it to come and I would like to change out the sights. The pistol will be used for Home defense and range, and maybe carry. If you dont want to explain it in the thread can you please IM me. Thank you.

Mods please remove if this isnt the place to ask questions. But does anyone think Meprolights (like these: https://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1240&CAT=94 ) would be a good set of sights for the purpose of CC and HD in my Glock 19? Currently just have the stock sights but they are hard to see at night and need to upgrade.
