I have an M&P 9mm with the regular white sights.

Anyone have any recommendations on installing night sights? Type/brand etc?

Thanks,
Rob

TruGlo TFO, same bright dots day or night. Had em on my G19 till my son graduated the academy and needed a service pistol (county does not issue to corrections). If they made the for my Colt Government .380 I would have them in place of the Meprolite's I modified the gun to take, they are originally for a Taurus Millennium.

I like the Warren Tactical two dot style...

I have Trijicon HD's on my M&P's, close to the same as TFO's but the rear has a little bigger opening I believe.

...a second for the TFO and TFX. Have them on my two Glocks, a 19 and a 40 and they are great. Friends that have seen the ones on my guns have put them on theirs...

I have the trijicons now with the larger orange day glo ball front sight and the rear U shaped slot on two guns so far.

They are great sights for lower light with that big orange day glo ball up front. I took a pistol class two weeks ago I was able to shoot well enough to pass because of the easy to pick up in lower light that big orange front sight. They glow normal in total dark. I shot my G43 against folks using G19s,17's full sized guns, my bud used his LC9 and I think the sights on that gun cost him points. We did this deliberately because its what we carry him LC9 me G43.

I believe they will get everything out of a Glock/Smith MP you would be able to get out of one.

I like any Novak or similar low-pro style, anything that glows is okay with me, color, number, or style of glow doesn't matter, low, glow, and no snag is what I look for.

Thanks guys, I'll read up on these.

Anyone have an opinion on tritium vs fiber optic?

Fiber optics need a light source whereas Tritium does not

I see that some are a combination of the two.

Had a set on a Glock that were combos and they worked very well

I like the XS Big Dot on my LC9 Pro.

the TRO sights are really good units


I prefer trijicons, and just put a set of the sig xrays on my p226...those I'm very pleased with so far

The Ameriglo sights look very similar and also have excellent reviews.

Best, fastest acquisition day/night combo I have is the Heinie Straight-8 RS with a Trijicon HD Tritium yellow outline dot FS.

For low light the single dot rear and front provides the fastest alignment. The problem with the Heinie straight-8 front and rear set is that the FS dot is not very prominent in the daylight. May just be my old eyes YMMV.

Thus the mix & match combo.

I am looking at the TFO sight for my glock 26. They offer a low set and high set. What determines which you use ?

You will not see the fiber optic sight in the dark...........period, if that is what you want.

As for true tritium sights, I like the straight 8 style, but have no real complaints about the 3-dot versions either, especially if the front sight is a different color than the rears.

Novak Adjustable Tritium Dot S&W M&P Rear Night Sight ASWMP03

I have the TruGlo TFO's on a Glock 43. Very happy with them. Look the same, day or night.

they all look the same in the dark to me, but these also come with an orange front day glow insert. I prefer the orange. I like them as its easy to pick up the front sight, I have them on two guns I carry a lot, and am going to replace a set of factory shield night sights with these. Seeing the sights quickly in a pinch is real important the experts tell me. The big front colored ball goes into the back U, then press and click.

I like these, too. I have them on a old Kimber 1911.

I like this one on a small carry gun, too. I have one on my 360 Smith.

....If possible, look at different ones and let your eyes decide. I was able to do that with the gun shop owner/gunsmith who sold me the Glock G 19 that wound up also getting a set of Trijicons that are visible day or night regardless of ambient light.

Anyone ?
