[ARCHIVED THREAD] - TruGlo Fiber Optic Sights...what do you think of them?

Posted: 6/18/2011 8:48:48 PM EDT

I am looking for some night sights for my M&P 45. I have meprolights or trijicons on my other handguns. Anyone have the TruGlo fiber optics? I'd like to get some opinions before I decide to get them or not. How do you like yours versus other night sights?

They are MIM and the tritium fiber optic capsules have been known to come loose.

I have them on my SIG P220 Carry Equinox, and if it were my every day carry gun I'd change them for something else.

I like them a lot for the range although I think they are too flimsy for serious use.

I have them on my carry gun - Glock 36 and love them. Really pick up light well in low light and are just as bright as my others at night. When my other night sights go out I will replace them with Truglos. I disagree from the previous poster as they don't feel flimsy at all to me.

I bought a set for each of my Glock carry guns. Solid.

As night sights they work well.

The fiber optics really help old eyes, daytime included.

I thought they used to have a reputation for having the fiber optic rods come loose so I put a drop of Crazy glue on mine.

I think I'm GTG.

There is another thread on the site somewhere that covers this well.

Pro's

Great night pickup

Great day pickup

Sight frames are sturdy

Con's

Poor pickup when looking into bright area from dark area

Actual inserts are prone to breakage under hard use

ETA: I have them on my g19. Love them so far. WAY brighter than my old mepros.

Yeah they are great for a little bit.

Mine broke, that insert is in the desert somewhere now. Now I have a 2 green dot rear sight and a black front sight. The night sight still works but... I would put Trijicon on it I I wanted some real night sights.
