I just picked up my new XD45 last night
and I'm looking to upgrade to tritium night sights. I think that I've decided on the Meprolight sights.
I am relatively new to handgun shooting and this is the first time I've ever bought aftermarket sights for a pistol. I saw that several of the companies, including Meprolight have green, yellow, and orange rear sights. After doing some research, I found that if a person goes with a color other than green, they should go with the yellow, as the tritium lasts longer than in the orange.
The question is, should I just stick with the green front and rear or should I get the yellow rear sights? Are there any advantages to having different colors?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, I did a search for sights but didn't come up with any answers.
Also, I'm not really planning on installing these myself. Should I send the slide back to SA to have the sights installed or is it safe to trust a local gunshop to do this?
Thanks for any help.
