no luck in my other post, but i did find someone to install, i want to get an idea of what i want before i get there, so im wondering what you guys are using for night sights? Prefer low profile/fixed as this is going to be my new carry.

I put Trijicons on my G23; they're great.

TruGlo TFO's on my G23. Love them because they are both tritium and fiber.

Trijicons on my g27 for 8 years they still glow like the day I bought them. Not saying they are the best but they have served me well.

I've always trusted my life on Meprolites.

Point is... all the above brands are great. Any major brand night site is better than no night site when you need them.

Keep in mind also.. if you only have one CCW or night stand gun that is the one that should get the sites.
They get dimmer with age and need replacement about every 10-15 years.
So... putting them on every gun sounds cool....
But could just be a waste of funds.

Thanks for the responses guys.... I ordered a set of Meprolites yesterday.... reason being, there were only 2 choices (same price) in the catalog for my USPc and the meprolites had contrasting f/r colors. They should be here in a week and im having Pat down at Paradise install them.

I really like the Novak style sights on my S&W M&P40c. Which brand of night sites is the closest in style and size to the Novaks?

I've had Trijicons and Meprolites in the past but all my Glocks now have Aro-Teks. They have a smoother profile similar to Novaks, are windage adjustable with a small allen wrench and do not require a sight pusher for installation. Aro-Tek makes the sights and then sends them to Trijicon where the vials are installed. They are green on green with the front sight slightly brighter than the rear.
