| I'm looking to buy a G26 and was wondering if I should look for one with Glock night sights already installed.....or if I should go with an aftermarket night sight. Anyone have a strong feeling one way or the other? |
|
Get the G26 then get a set of Meprolight NS. The factory stake on NS can be very troublesome. |
| After I bought my Glock 22 I sent the slide off to Trijicon to have a pair of their night sights installed. I was very pleased with their product. They're bright, and they work great. Trijicon's customer service was awesome, too. |
|
Get the aftermarket sights. The staked on factory front nightsight on my 26 came loose after about 500 rounds. Screwed on trijicon on my old 23 was rock solid through several thousand rounds. Now, since my local Glock armorer fixed the front sight on my 26 it has also been rock solid for another 5000+ rounds. If I had it to do over again though, I would have gotten aftermarket night sights installed. |

Glad i found this thread before i bought my next glock, the 19, with factory night sights. Now i just have to decide between meprolight and trijicon tritium sights. I now for sure that I want the front sight green and the back sight another color that is not so bright(yellow?). I am also sure that i want to eliminate "snag free" sights from my choices to aid in one handed operation. I orinally was going to go with truglo fiber optic/tritium comob sights but have heard that their quality control is not so great. |

The factory Glock sights are okay, but if given the choice, I would get the Meprolights or Trijicons. glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180149 |
| Henie 8s are VERY nice. I'm waiting on delivery of my G19 with Trijicons. I got a great deal so there wasn't much decision making on my part. I considered TFOs but they are big compared to other sights and there's a lot of talk of poorly fitting rear sights. I don't think you would have trouble with the Glock night sights though there are some cases of problems. If it was such a huge problem, Glock would have fixed it by now IMHO. |
I have heard that if you happen to get a good set of TFO they are great! IF.........I have heard that their quality control is not so good and people have been losing tritium tubes due to bad desgin or craftsmanship |
The G21 I have came with Glock marked night sights, they are not as nice as the Trijicons or Meps. The vials are not even centered in the white circle, they are to the top of the circle.

My recently acquired CDNN G19 also has Trijicons which are stamped H3 02. I tried them out last night and they still have a nice glow to them. |
| It's really about which sights suit you the best, of course I'd take into consideration any sights that have a bad reputation for not fitting, etc. Don't worry about the lamps, they are all made by Trijicon, or at least that's what Phil Goldsmith told me at the Glock Armorer, Instructor courses. |
