I like the tru glo, the fiber optic front end really draws good light. Might want to check what color you like best, I'm partial to red, but some guys pick up green faster.

I would not just get the basic tru glow fiber optics, get the TFO, that are the fiber optic with tritium inserts as well. Fiber inserts work great during the day and the tritium illuminates the fibers at night. Highly recommended

If I were to switch out the stock sights on my XD9 SubCompact, instead of paying a smith, the goal is to line the sights up and get them in between the engraved lines in the sight channels, correct? |

I have Tru Glow and like the fiver optic sights. During day they are great, low light they are usable. Night time not really, maybe with a flashlight. But I had a smith do it cause he had a hydraulic press. The punch and hammer on xd's isn't a good idea. Read to much about people marring the slide. Springfield made very little tolerance which is great for your sights never moving but bad when you want to replace them. It cost me bout $50 to have a smith do it.

The sights are great during the day and awesome at night. They are very bright, I'm running the green front and rear. |

Back when I didn't know any better I bought hi vis sights. The front site lasted about 100 rounds before the fiber came loose and fell outta the sight. From my experience I will never buy cheap sites again. The price difference for quality is well worth it.
