But even with CT grips, the OP should still have a quality set of night sights.

Does anyone know if night sights are made for the Taurus Pro (Heine straight eight) series ?, my search-fu is weak today .

Trijis are much higher quality than Mepros. IIRC, mepros are just colored dots, Trijis are all outlined.

I didn't like my old mepros- rears were too bright compared to front.

I can almost be happy with plain rears but at night, not so much. Therefore I'd recommend a straight eight config and mepro doesn't make those.

Remember to aim correctly with the straight 8's. Everyone likes to rearrange the dots funny or make them touch as opposed to keeping the blade tops aligned like usual...

HK's glow in the dark sights suck...

I have Trijicon on my Glock 32. IMO they are much brighter than the Mepro. I have had accutek on a Glock 21 I used to own and they are very bright as well, but they are expensive.

If you want something different, try Truglo Tritium/Fiber Optic sights. I have those on my Kimber and they are awesome! They are close to the brightness level of the Trijicons, but not quite, but you won't lose a sight picture out in the daylight either, they are VERY bright in the sunlight. I wish I would have known about them before I got the sights for my 32, I would have purchased them for it as well.

I will vouch for the Truglo TFO's as well. VERY bright day or night.

Mepros are outlined too. Trijicons seem to have paint on them, while Mepros look like they have some sort of white ring around them. Mepros have larger dots as well. I have old Trijicon rears on my Glock with an Ameriglo (Trijicon insert) front. My Kahr wears Mepros. To me both have advantages, but it is a wash as to their effectiveness.

I've got Meprolights on my G23 and am happy with them. IMHO they are brighter than the Trijicons on my SIG 226.

+1 for Trijicons!

I have and like both XS Bigdots and Truglo TFO's. The XS are my current favorites since they are so easy to get a sight picture with. The TFO's are sitting in a drawer right now but I may buy an Advantage Arms .22 kit for my glock and toss them on that.

XS bigdot kit comes with everything you need to install them. A nice all in one box solution for new sights.
