Re: glock night sight size question
I have the factory Glock night sights, Trijicon, on my Glock. They came with the gun when I bought it.
I bought my wife some "metropolight" night sights for her M&P over christmas.
I took both into the dark bathroom after they arrived. The metropolight was significantly brighter, even through the plastic packaging. Now that they're out of the box, there's no comparison. Her gun's a damn flashlight compared to my factory glock sights.
Just FWIW.

Re: glock night sight size question
Wow-they really are much brighter! I was reading the comments below though; and someone posted that their meprolights have burnt out after 3 years, and they cannot get the company to honor the warranty...is this just a fluke or does anyone here have any of the same expeirences? If this is just a one in a million, I'll definitely be considering merprolight!

Re: glock night sight size question
I've used them all. Meprolights are the brightest. The Glock Factories are Meprolights. Glock makes the metal sight casings for the front and rear sights (they're tennifer treated), and Meprolite the tritium vials. The Glock factory front dot is smaller than the after market Meprolights.
The XS night sights are my favourite though. I like to dot the I. For me it's faster.

Re: glock night sight size question
My duty gun, a Glock 21SF, has Ameriglo Operators on it. I have the green front and yellow rears. Absolutely love them. As was said earlier, the taller ones are for the 45acp and 10mm guns.

Re: glock night sight size question
Anyone tried or compared the XS 24/7 STD dot to the Big Dot?
I've handled one unit that had the Big Dot, and it was exactly that. Just a bit too big. and am wondering how much smaller the STD dot is.
Anyone??

Re: glock night sight size question
I carry a Glock 35 and went to the Heinie Straight Eight night sights. I find them very accurate in the day time, and easy to see in low light.

Re: glock night sight size question
Just tried and bought a set of tru-glow TFO's...I like the option of bright daytime sights and tritium for nighttime use...any thoughts?
