I'm a big fan of Ameriglo sights...lots of options, trijicon vials, good price, and hold up well...I've never used XS Big dots but have been considering them if you are in the market for something with a non-traditional sight picture then they look interesting.

I have used guns with Truglo TFOs and they work great, but I have heard from a couple people who had problems with the front light-pipe coming loose.

I have the XS Express 24/7 Standard Dot installed on my SIG P220. I love 'em in the light, and the tritium has worked fine in the low-light/no-light IDPA stages I have shot with them. No holster problems, and I use the gun in an MTAC, a Blackhawk CQC, and a UBG Regulator.

I bought my first set of Trijicons in 1992, just replaced that set and they were still visible in very low light. Tritium has a half life of 12 years I believe. That means that basically, at 12 years, the radioactivity is half of what it was, and then will half again in another 12 yrs. Mine were 16 years old and I completed a class just a few weeks ago where we had night firing. I had absolutely no problem with them, but was at the gun shop and .... well, I put new ones on. Now all but one of my Glocks have them new. It has Trijicons from 95 on it and they are still pretty good.
I just put a set of Meprolights on my newest Glock. I now have 5 Glocks, all with night sights and would never own one without NS that I was going to carry. You never know when you will need them, and I have tried to shoot other pistols in the past at low light times outside and just cannot see the sights well enough for good shot placement. They are a vital tool on any carry gun in my opinion. You will not have any problems if you stick with a good name brand. I have heard good stuff about the Ameriglo, but never used any. I KNOW Trijicons are great and rugged. I cannot tell a difference between my Meps and my Trijicons from a use standpoint, the Meps are typically 10-15 bucks cheaper.
I just bought a rear sight tool. I had used a brass punch until the last rear sight gave me such a fit. I wound up destroying it. It absolutely was just too tight a fit for the dovetail and I couldn't get it to go in. I should have used a sight tool then, but anyway, I bought one now and installed this last set with no problem.

I went with Trijicon/AmeriGlo with green front yellow rear.

I chose these for three reasons:

- Durability (these are tritium vials encased in steel sights, not plastic)

- Lower profile than TruGlo. Almost standard stock size sights

- Long life for tritium viles (12 year half life)

They also fit into my MTAC holster just fine.


My local shop had them in stock for my XD45 and they were installed and perfectly laser boresighted in about 20 minutes.

Excellent choice!

Meprolight. No problems with anything. Work great. Would rather have night sights than laser.

I have Trijicons on two of my Glocks. I have had no negative issues. I've had them on my G19 since 1997 and on my G23 since 2003. They newer ones are definately brighter. That being said, I can still aquire a good sight picture in low light with the 11 year old pair.

I am not a fan of lasers. JMO.

I have XS standard dot on one, and Meprolight another. I started out with Trijicon before the XS. The XS big dot is to big for my tastes.

Meprolights are a little bigger dot than the Trijicon. I like the little bit bigger dot.

XS is one of the sights that people love or hate for the most part. I like them so they are on my primary carry gun. I can hit out to 50 yards with no problems.

I had this problem with my TFOs.

I switch to XS standard dots and could not be happier.
