| Anybody running these? I am thinking the flat black rear sight with the tritium front sight blade. I have never used them before and just want to see what others who speak Glock think about them. |
| They'll probably work, but there are cheaper options out there that offer the same set up. Warren Tactical and Hienie sights come to mind. I think there are many others as well that offer this combination as well. I run a Warren plain black rear with a fiber optic front and like it quite well. |

I ran the Warren Tritium Front and the Warren Tactical Plain Rear. Used a tooth pick and pull out the grime every now and then when you notice your white ring around your tritium is starting to disappear.
If you do enough dry fire, indexing the tritium front with a plain rear in the dark isn't all that hard. Just practice by dropping the unloaded pistol to low ready, close your eyes, bring the pistol to eye level, open eyes and see if you are in the notch. If you aren't in the notch work on it some more until you can drop it in the notch 10/10. Please note that the Warren Tactical 'Wave' sights are designed to be a 6 o'clock hold. Depending on how your pistol shoots it may be POA/POI but mine was a bit high and I've been fighting the tendency to aim low now that I'm using a different rear sight. |

I bought about 10 sets of Warrens over the years. They were the best sights I could find at the time, and I did very well with them in USPSA and IDPA.
I recently bought a few sets of Trijicon HD's. These are now my favorite. I think they have covered everything I want in a set of sights. Fast picture, high vis front, subdued rear, wide notch, and big enough to sight cock off a belt or holster. I am buying a few sets a month to switch over all my pistols. This is all personal preference, but I really can't imagine a better set of features than the Trijicon HD's. And you don't have to spend the time fitting the rears like the Warrens. |

My preference the past several years has been a 10-8 rear and Warren white dot tritium front. http://i48.tinypic.com/w06q37.jpg +1 there. I went to the 10-8 rear but with a 10-8 brass bead front. I'm pretty happy with it and don't see any need to switch to anything else. |
