Night sights

[SubUrbanCamo317]

Howdy all, I'm looking to put some night sights on my M&P 9 and was wondering if there was a certain brand that you all could suggest. I personally like the 3 dot style, and I want a good bright set. Green on green, or green on orange, what do you prefer? I'm not 100% sure about XS Big Dot sights fitting into my duty holster, but I am also considering them as well. What say ye?

Ameriglo 3 dot with the orange post.

I've used Big Dots, but i greatly prefer Ameriglo I-Dot Pros.

BTW, you don't have to worry about Big Dots fitting in a duty holster. They're not THAT big.

Here's the I-Dot Pro and a Big Dot for size comparison:

I'm definitely liking these. How bright are they? Do they seem to point natural?

The M&P points naturally for me regardless of sights. Ameriglo (as well as most night sight makers) use Trijicon vials, so they are all pretty much equal in brightness based on age. You'll always get the newest (brightest) sights by purchasing directly from the manufacturer.

True glo tfo sights have been the brightest I have seen. Day or night.

True goo tfo sights have been the brightest I have seen. Day or night.

Lol, "true goo".

Damn phone loves to correct me, like my wife, only sometimes my phone is right.

TRUGLO

I found these on the TRUGLO website, but they want $123...opticsplanet has them for $67, do you think they are extra stock that have dimmed over time?

Get them from here.

I have bought two sets from them for my Springfields and they are great.

I have Ameriglo CAP sights on all of my M&Ps and Glocks.

I like the Truglo TFO (Tritium / Fiber Optic) with contrasting front and rear.

These R4 Evolution look interesting
Glock Sight - Optimized Duty Sight (ODS)
Edit: They only have Glock at the moment but have plans for other platforms in the future.

I just put Truglo on my Glock. I am really liking them so far. I have Green front sight and yellow rear.

I do wish I would've gone green and green. The green seems a lot brighter to me than the yellow in the dark but I'm loving them overall.

You are right. The yellow is intended to be dimmer than the green, see here: TRUGLO

TFO all the way

I have truglo's on my G19, but was thinking about Trijicon HD for my G34.

Chezuki,

I have seen you post this before. I am curious why you prefer those over the XS sights. I am currently an XS sight fan, but I am also willing to be open and consider options in the future if they make sense.

I vote for VTAC sights.
Fiber optics on top for day time work. Tritium on the bottom for low light work. Best of both worlds.

that's what you get with tfo sights without having two separate sights and for less money.
