Meprolight or Trijicon?

Justin · November 25th, 2005, 05:35 PM

I'm sending the slide of my USP45 to Robar to get their NP3 finish. I want a good set of night sights to install afterwards. Should I get Trijicon or Meprolight?

I prefer Trijicon because the "lamps" are encapsulated in a separate vile and not just sealed in the sight body by the lens. If something should happen to the "lamps", they can be replaced without replacing the sights themselves.

Trijicon it is!

Take a look at Ameriglo. They get theit tritium inserts from Trijicon. If they make a version for the USP and you are interested I can point you to a way to get a discount.

I have a set on my G19 and like them very much.

Agree with ya on the HK finish. I have carryed my HK uSP for over 10 years, 4 of which almost daily and the finish is still showing little wear.

I'm going to be the really annoying poster who recommends Z while you ask for X or Y.

Check out XS Sights if you haven't already. I have a set of Big Dots on my USPc and love them. I find the rear bar/front dot pattern works faster for me than Trijicon's and Meprolight's three dot systems.

I do like Trijicon's different color rear dots, like a green front and orange rear dots. I think Meprolight offers the same.

Trijicon, and Betty, believe XS uses Trijicon tubes, or if not they do use saphire lens, while Meps use plastic.
