Need help... Night Sights for G23... What are the best?

I have had Tru Glo's,Metropro's,Glock NS's.A friend let me try his Heinie Straight Eights and they'll be my next.I like them best.Of the first three mentioned the Glock Night Sights seemed brightest when new.

My G23 came with the Trijicon inserts in the Glock mounts. They work well for me but I don't think you will find anything brighter on the market than the TruGlo Fiber Optics.

My new G-21 came with factory Glock NS. I called Glock and asked them who made them and was told that Glock makes the sights and Meprolight puts the vials in. I like the Glock NS. I also have Meps on my CZ. On my Sigs I have Trijicons. The meps seem to have bigger dots so I will have to say I like them a little more. JR

Hi,

I have Trijicons on a old Colt Commander and on my "new" G34. I recently returned my Colt slide to Trijicon to have the 12 year old vials replaced. $54 for all three tritium vials is not too bad and when it comes back, there should be no sighting adjustments required. Something to consider...they DO go dim after a few years.

I have Trijicons on all of my Glocks and am very happy with them.

For SD, I like the XS Big Dot. I've installed a few sets of yellow/green Meps as well and really like them.

I would like to get a set of XS Big Dots also. The more I see of them the better I like them.

I really liked them on my G19, which was my "do everything" pistol, but I LOVE them on my G26 which became my EDC soon after buying.

One nice thing about them is that they come with everything you need to install yourself.

I have Ameriglo Pro I-Dot Operators on my G23 and G32 and really like them. I also bought 2 sets of Pro Operators, but haven't installed them yet. The Pro I-Dot has a single vial rear like a Heinie, but without the white outline on the rear sight. The regular Operators are 2-dot rear without the outline. I have XS Big Dots on my M&P 45's, but did not care for the supplied rear sight. I changed them for a Warren Tactical rear and have had better results. YMMV as I am 49 and wear progressive bi-focals.

I have had Arotek, Trijicon, and most currently Meprolights. I like the Aroteks the best. You can typically get multiple colors, they are low profile, and install them yourself with no sight vice.

I have 24/7 Big Dot on my G17, Tru Glo on my G19, Trijicon on my G22, AmeriGlo I Dot Operators on my G20, Meprolights on my G26, I like the 24/7 Big Dots and Meprolights best. The 24/7 are faster to aquire a good sight picture, but the meprolights are the same size, height as the original Glock sights. Most of the aftermarket night sights have a much taller than stock, front blade sight, creating the possibility of snagging the front blade on your holster while drawing out. The AmeriGlo I Dots are good too, but not as fast as the 27/7 and the front blade is a good bit taller than stock.

My new G-27 came with Trijicons. The one in the back has yellow dots instead of green and I think that I like it better.
My old G-27 had Meprolights that I thought were great too.

I have Trijicons and Truglo TFO'S. Like the trijicon HD's the best, but I have not tried them all...yet.

+1 on that...

I went with TRUGLO Tritium over TFO for my G23. That front sight on the TFO is way too long for a compact IMO. it would be a better choice for a G22/17.

I like Trijicon HD's as well.

I went with Tritium Meprolights on my g23 when I bought it Saturday - they are very noticeable in the dark

I like the MEPS, they are more opaque for daytime shooting too. I prefer Trijicon for night but the MEPS aren't bad either.

i have tru-glo tfo on my g23 love them very bright during day and super bright at night
