I am thinking of getting the small dot tritium sight for my G30. I am just concerned about the quality of the tritium in the sight. I recently had a bad experience with a set of PT night sights that went out after a year- no glow. Anyone ever had any trouble with the 24/7 sights? Are they as bright as Trijicon's (they are the standard by which I judge all night sights)? ETA: I was thining of changing the sights myself. I found this website: membres.lycos.fr/shooter/glock/hg701.html It seems easy enough. Anyone have any tips? Tools I should buy? |
If you are judging against the Trijicon set, then go ahead and spend the extra 15-25 bucks and get them. That way, you won't lose any sleep about having second-guessed yourself.  Going on 5 years on my 30, and they look as bright as the set I put on my 21 last year. My compact ACOG seems to be holding up pretty well on my AR as well. Damn goood equipment. My .02 Have a good one! |
So you put the 24/7 on your 30? Sorry, just need a little clarification. |

I've had AO Expres 24/7 (now called PT sights) on my SIG and I despised it. At 12-15 yds, it's ok and sight pickup is extremely fast. At 15+ yds, the sight accuracy is way past the limit. I installed them myself. Really easy. I think they came with plastic drifting set. Do I recommend? No. Would I buy the big dot sight again? No. Good thing I experimented, though. |
This is similar to some of the reviews that I have read. I would like to retain the ability to shoot 25M+ accurately. On 24/7 's website, they have a video of long distance shooting, but most people's reviews (on the net- take it for what it's worth) say that accuracy at distance is harder. Anyone else vouch for or against? Is 24/7 really owned by PT? If so, that is enough to turn me away with my past experience. And lastly, anyone tried changing out their Glock sights? Any issues I need to know about doing so? Any handy tools to have? |

Uh... I need to open an email account just to register there. Can you give me the info in a nutshell? |
| I have a set of the Big Dot tritiums on my G23. The rear burned out within the first year but the front is still going strong. I dislike them so much I have not bothered to try and get them to honor the guarantee. Stsndard tritiums will work just fine at close ranges and you will be able to do much better work at distances beyond 10yd. If I actually ever used the G23 for much I would have already replaced them. |
