    Well the time is here and I've got the Glock 23 Gen4 NiBX that I've been patiently waiting for.

    Now my question is: Which set of night sights should I get / consider? First and foremost my Primary purpose: Dailycarry



    In my personal experience, I liked the Meprolight Tru-Dot 3-Dot fixed Green/Green tritium night sights I had on my Glock 19 Gen3. As well, I like the SigLite Night Sights from both my 9mm SP2022, and 1911 C3 Crimson Trace (these are Novak's, and I kind of like them!) -- I'm unsure of the actual MFR on these sights but I've read it to be Trijicon on multiple internet sources.


    What I'm currently entertaining though, with reasons given:
    Tru-Glo TFO Fiber Optic Night Sights yellow rear/green front - Day/Night both these things seem to get amazing review. Cost $89

    Ameriglo iDot Night Sights - Simple, potentially quick acquisition "dot the i" type sight picture. Cost $65~

    A dilemma I'm faced with is the fact that I do like to target shoot as well, but only for primary purpose of trigger control / not hitting something I don't intend to hit :rolleyes:. Although the iDot's have the right price, is the iDot really something compatible with my needs? I do think the quick sight picture would be benificial as far as draw to shoot time for center mass on a BG. Then again, pending community input, wouldn't the contrast of yellow rear / green front tritium filled fiber optic sights have close to the same benefit?

    I really like these trijicon sights on my G30... bright front sight for fast and accurate "combat/CQB" (front sight only) shooting, and single rear dot for quick line up at distance. They both glow bright at night as well!

    I use ameriglo on mine that dont come with night sights. Cant beat them for the money and are very similar to the others.

    I'm waiting on a set of big dots from XS Sights to be delivered. Great sights for a carry weapon.

    Once I tried TFOs on my 23, nothing else was close. Where I really appreciate the difference is in dim lighting where the tritium seems to wash out on my other sights but the TFOs still stand out nicely. I am now trying to upgrade my other pistols w/ TFOs, but it is a slow process.
