So I just got a Glock LEO order form, and it list's the options for Glock night sights and Trijicon night sights. Anyone have a picture of the difference between the two?
Thanks

no real difference. i have had both on my duty guns. the Glock sights actually seem brighter than the Trijicons. i think the Glock sights are made by Meprolight. either will be fine.

I don't have a picture but I put a set of Glock night sights on my G19 last month and a set of Trijicons on mt G26 last week and I prefer the Glock ones a little more personally. The tritium in the trijicon's looks a little more focused at night because of the sapphire lenses and the front post is a little thinner so theoretically it should be a little more precise for target shooting during the day. The Glock dots are a little bigger and seem to glow a little brighter and the sights are tennifer finished like the rest of the Glock. The big thing I don't like about the trijicons and it is probably inconsequential to most people is the painted on circles around the tritium tubes. I don't like to have to be that careful using oils and solvents around the sights and worry about having the paint come off. The Glocks and Meps I believe have some kind of pvc or rubber rings around their tubes. The Trijicon sights have a nice sight picture and nice sharply defined trituim tubes but how much more would it have cost them to ditch the paint and use some rubber rings.

I've heard of rear sights developing rust from constant IWB carry in humid areas, so go with the Glock ones if you think that might be an issue for you.

You won't be disappointed. I've got one set of Glock's and they are in no way different from my set of Meps except that they have "Glock" stamped on them.

I was informed a week ago that Glock's warranty on their night sights is 15 years.

Well it's funny cause, the out the door price for the Glock 17/19/26 With the Glock NS is $455 whereas the Trijicon NS is $477, so when ordering a 19 and a 26 at once, if I save $44, that's 2 extra mags I can get from them at $21 a piece.... lol
