Ive always just run ameriglo factory glock night sites. I buy blue label LEO discount and NS arent but $40 more.
They have served me well over the years. The few that i purchased with plastic sights i switched out with ameriglo Spartans and they are perfect for me. the xs and so on never really did it for me cause I never know when a very accurate shot has to be made at 25 plus yards you can send your glock slide in and have glock install factory night sights for $50 |

I've been running night sights 23 years on my various carry guns. I put glock factory sights on my last purchase. I looked at various sights because I really wanted to try something different. Finally said "screw it, I can hit the best with the factory ones." Find something that is consistent and works for you, then standardize your sight platform.

Heinie on my G19s for years. Tried the big dots for a bit but didn’t like them out past 15 yards. These are Heinie Straight Eight with a base of white paint pen and a coat of testors blaze orange model paint. I shoot my carry gun a lot and I only need to touch these up maybe once a year. It’s super easy to just strip it off with the wife’s nail polish remover and re apply. Sorry for the bad picks but I just pulled the gun and took phone picks at the table.

Black rear with front fiber>heine>xs big dot>factory glock night sights. Bright front colors help. The huge dot and shallow v notch may help if you have inconsistent presentations but allows more variation when shooting fast. Notch and post sights are easier to correct left/right in recoil while tracking you sights. If you are not tracking your sights in recoil your grip and sight focus probably sucks. With that said the big dot can still be shot very accurately it just requires more attention to sight alignment. Tritium rarely is needed in most lighting conditions.

Throw a little orange paint on the front and you basically have an I-dot pro sights. I have a set on my 19 and they work. Easy to pick up in the day time,easy to line up at night.

I put some XS on my 43 to try it out. They are not faster on target for me. I have no doubt in a high stress engagement a front sight focus would be easier with them. But a pair of blacked out rear's and a red paint/ night sight or fiber optic front sight is faster for me.

I've got a g30 with XS big dots.... its only good for close range due to how big that front sight is. My carry 19 has fiber front & blacked out rear. I'd go for whatever gives you a brighter front with a dark rear. You may be able to sell/return both sets and just buy a fiber set (check the EE).
