Trijicon

My G23 came with green/green Trijicons and I put yellow/green on my G36. Wouldn't have a gun without them. BTW my PM9 came with green/green Tru Glo.

XS regular 24/7 although I love the Big Dot for snubs.
Trijicons are great but I have trouble seeing them in not really bright nor dark like an indoor range, it takes me more time to get sight picture, aside from that they're great at night or in well illuminated areas, "I blame it on the anti glare serrations" since I only have that problem with the front sight the one with the serrations.

someone mentioned the sig ones they are great indeed to me is like XS married Trijicon.

Just an FYI...I think your Siglites are actually made by Mepro or trijicon, just cant remember which one...LOL Thought you might wanna know.

Personally I would invest in a couple of good flashlights. Ever look through your sights while using a flashlight in low light? The stock sights stick out like a sore thumb.

I've managed to get by without them for many years even with the experience of shooting various varmints by the beam of a flashlight.

I like the sights to be black and sharp.

Compared to the Trijicons I've had, the Mepro Tru Dot is much brighter and lasts longer. The Mepro is a good daylight sight too.

I voted other . I like Heine Str8 8' tritium.

When focusing on the front sight, Lining up a dot over a dot at night is easier for me. . Than puting a dot between 2 dots. Your mileage may vary.

I agree 100% with Ram Rod. Great sights for the money!
