Night Sights

[03mustgt]

After handling a buddies PX4 with Trijicons, I am really wanting to get a set for my G26. Here is my question, I see all these different brands all in close to the same price range, is there any major differences? Which ones are the best?

Oh, and some glock porn for you guys and gals

haha, that thing looks rediculous. The only complaint about the trijicons on the px4 is the fact that I'd rather have the front sight a diff. color. Other than that I love them. I'm curious as well because I'll be looking for more for the Px4sc.

About the only place you could conceal that without "raising" suspicion is a strip club, and even there they would probably kick you out for being a pervert.

Which ones are the best?

It depends on who you ask, it is really more a preference on "best" I have Glock NS on both Glocks, Mepros on one Sig and Trijicon on another. The GNS and Meps are very similar, I think the GNS are the best bang for the buck. The difference I see between them is the Trijicon seems a bit brighter but has smaller dots. The other two have larger dots but seem a little fuzzy when compared to the Trijicon. All of them work just as well as the next, it's just a preference.

Big Dots! 24/7's

I have Glock NS on both Glocks, Mepros on one Sig and Trijicon on another. The GNS and Meps are very similar, I think the GNS are the best bang for the buck.

They look similar because the GNS use Meprolight inserts in Glock-manufactured sight housings.

If you're buying aftermarket (i.e. the gun didn't come with NS from the factory), get Meprolights rather than the Glock brand. Reason? The GNS front sight has to be crimped in, and the tool that Glock sells its armorers for this purpose is less than robust, which can result in loose sights. At the factory, Glock Inc. uses a hydraulic press, so it's a non-issue. The Meprolight front sight installs with a hex screw, which is pretty idiot-proof.

Trijicons are decent, but tend to be more expensive than Mepros or GNS, and I don't like their daytime sight picture nearly as much.

I put Normal Meprolight on my 26, they have the ones made for the 26 that extend the radius by .5 inches, But I like being able to 1 hand manipulate my glocks by hooking the back sight on my belt or another obj.

I use all green , just a personal thing though.

I prefer just a front night sight. I find it easier to pick up fast. The less to find the better. Beside that, the distances involved in night shooting are typically quite short so the front site is sufficient.
