Ok I am picking up my G19 this weekend and the first thing that needs taken care of is the sights. There are so many kinds out there it's hard to decide. I like the looks of the Trijicon HD's and I like the look of the TFO's. Are these good NS? Any thoughts of any other brand to look at? I want durable bright long lasting sights. Thanks for any input.
In the same boat as you and looking for some options to outfit my new XDM9C. I am leaning towards the XS BIG DOTS, but hoping this thread will give me some other choices to consider.
Some time I hate when you have so many options.
I use Trij sights on my PPQ, P30, and formerly on my service P226. Great tritium sights. The TFOs are very nice too, but a bit more fragile, and quite a bit larger in real estate.
Four of my five Glocks have Trij's...even put a Trij front site on my SP101.:yup:
Another vote for the Trijicons.
Had them on a P226 service pistol and now have them on my G23.
It would be hard to go wrong with either Trijicon or Meprolight. There are a lot of choices now in terms of design and color combinations, but much of it is personal preference.
I have Trij's on both my pistols and recommend them.
Trijicon. The best sight for your G19, period.
Looks like the Triji's have it. Now I have to get my gunsmith to order them and get them installed hopefully by next weekend.
Plus one on the XS Big Dot, I have this on my Glock 19 and love it!
Don't know how old your eyes are, but XS Big Dots are tough to miss when you're in a hurry. And if I'm in harm's way...I'm surely in a hurry!
I have Meprolights on my G21 and like them so much I ordered some for my G19. They are about half the price of the trijicons and are really bright in the dark. Although I cannot compare how they are to the trijicons because I've never had a set of those.
I just got a set of Meprolights that are Adjustable for my G-19. This is the first set that I have found that are fully adjustable with a screwdriver and not a sighting tool. I have had fixed Meps and the Big XS but they did not work for me. The XS are not adjustable. If you are shooting +P+ ammo you need to make that vertical adjustment. Left and right is not an issue, but I do want to be on Center of Mass and not miss just under the Family Jewels!

When using the tool I had to hold the pushing block with needlenose pliers so it didn't rotate.
