minderasr Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Let's face it. The stock plastic sights just suck. I have TruGlo TFX Pros on two of my Glocks and love them. Installed XS Big Dot on my gen5 G19 but I'm on the fence with them. Guess I have to get used to the sight picture. Anyway, what's your go-to replacement sights and why? Just looking to see what other people are using. Edited August 24, 2018 by minderasr Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmcbeat Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Depends on the gun. For a carry gun I like three dot night sights, all the same color. For a fun range gun I like all black steel sights like Dawson’s. The best bargain in night sights is to upgrade to Glock night sights when you buy the gun, about $50 more.

BamaBud Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I started out with Meprolights. Lately, the TFOs have become more visible. Something to do with aging eyes, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas48 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have Ameriglo Agents on all my Glocks. Over the years I have used Tru glo, Ameiglo I dots, Heine Straight 8's and Meprolights. The Agents have worked best for me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgg9 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I like the orange-front Ameriglos. So if you buy a TALO Glock, that's all done for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Like I said, I've been using Heinie Straight 8 night sights I'm looking at Ameriglo Hackathorns or Protectors. The older I get the wider of a rear notch I like. Damn, that sounded filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notch is way too wide and shows too much daylight around the front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Black Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have like three sets of Ameriglo I-Dot Pros. They have become my favorite over the last several years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. For me, the I-Dot system is the quickest to use and quite accurate. I learned to really like it while shooting my Kahr CM9 and am very happy Ameriglo makes the I-Dot's for Glocks among others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I like the Trijicon GL05’s. I don’t like spending the money on tritium night sights. The GL05 is a steel sight with a nice bright large dot on the front sight. They shoot very well and are about 1/3 the cost of tritium sights. I have tritium sights on my duty sidearm, but most of my other guns don’t have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Galt Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Really like the XS Big Dots. Took a bit to get used to them but now I won't use any others on a carry gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Looks like my rear site no longer glows. I guess it's time to test that limited lifetime warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshotonepill Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I use the Hackathorns. I like a blacked out rear sight. They were the first aftermarket sights I bought for a g19. They worked, so I put them on my other Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c10bonanza Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I've had good experience with Ameriglos. Recenltly, I switched out some dim sights with Trijicon HDs. I now have those on my 19 and 43. I like the i-dot sight picture and the large front dot is quick to pick up. Only downside to the Trijis is both came with really sharp edges. I had to hit them with a file.

Night Fision has a front sight that is working well for me on a MP 2.0 9C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Standardizing all my Glocks on the Ameriglo Agents whenever it's time to replace them. I already bought a set for my new duty gun which got pushed back to next year so I''ll probably just stick them on my next gun which I will probably buy before we finally switch.

blueiron Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Every Glock I own has their plastic sights replaced with either Glock metal sights or night sights. My 34 has fiber optic sights installed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowasher Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I like the HiViz sights. I like that I can replace the color tubes depending on weather and sun conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin1230 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I don't mind the stock sites at all. I like the 'ball in cup' site picture. I've only had one set damaged and replaced them with Glock metal sites. Otherwise, the polymer sites have been very durable. I understand the allure of night sites, I really do. But this kid is rarely out and around in places of elevated risk after dark. Not knocking aftermarket sites, just never deemed them necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
