XS Big Dots Both use trijicon tritium so they're good quality. |

You will get a lot of options with that question, I used Trijicons, Meprolight, but now my favorite is the XS Big dot.

It does seem to be a little smaller than the GNS dots though. I haven't tried any other night sights. |

Truglo TFO if you want sights that are as bright in the day as they are at night.

Use the Trijicon sights they are much brighter than the Glock sights.
The front sight installs with a screw. Just need a nut driver for it. |

XS bigdot 24/7 Sights with Trijicon Tritium inserts.

I am going to differ from all of the above and suggest Heinie Straight 8s.
Expensive, but worth it. |

That's a pic of my G26 with a set of yellow/green Pro Operators installed. I cant recommend them highly enough! A little extra "white space" on the sides of the front post... white ring on the front sight only draws your attention... yellow/green tritium makes a world of difference when daylight light starts to fade. Dig around/wait for holidays, and you'll find discount codes that makes them light on the wallet too.

hotrodtba, how is the accuracy of the Big Dot sights at say 15-25 yards? I have thought about trying a set for the quick acquisition properties of the sights, but have wondered about longer distance accuracy.

I have thought about trying a set for the quick acquisition properties of the sights, but have wondered about longer distance accuracy. Longer range accuracy might degrade just a touch, but for a defensive handgun sight, the loss is not that big of a deal when compared with the fast target acquisition you gain.

+1 Something like the setup shown in the thread above would be your best bet IMO. Do not waste your money on any "3-dot" setup. Rear tritium is expensive and completely unneeded |

XS makes good sights but I just could not get used to them. I'd go with a Trijicon 3-dot green/green setup.

I've tried running without rear tritium and I've tried running with rear tritium and the sights with at least some reference in the rear are much easier to use precisely in low light. I'm not a fan of the traditional 3 dot setup, but having smaller, subdued tritium elements in the rear sight doesn't distract from the front sight and allows for an accurate index of where the front is in relation to the rear. |

When you are moving around alot in dark conditions, its easy to lose the front sight unless you have something to index it with.
I very much prefer a 3 dot tritium setup. I also prefer a blacked out iron with a white circle on the front. Hence why Ameriglo Pro Operators fucking rock. |
