Well I made the plunge today at the 1500 and picked up some TFO's. I really like them in the bright of day and the dark of the night. I'm not 100% set on them in between those two light variables yet, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
I've always used Meprolights and have had great appreciation for their quality. Tried Trijicon's once...the green dot on the front sight was so small...I had to squint to see it, even in a dark room.
Lately, I've been buying from XS Sights and have been very impressed with their quality! I have them on fixed-sight, Ruger revolvers and, because you can buy them in variable heights (know how your gun shoots before you buy), it'll help to 'smooth out' a high or low shooting handgun.
I've used both Trijicon and Meprolight sights and I consider them both more than "satisfactory". I think I'm going to try a different style the next time I get a set of night sights, though.
I've been looking into night sights for my glock for quite awhile now. Just haven't found that special little something that makes me say "that's the one I want"
I'm not real happy about the companies that sell sets only as compared to just the front tritium only. I'd love to try out the Trijicon HD orange, but hate to pay for a whole set to only use the front.
I was in the same boat as OP, so I ordered both the Mepros and Trijicons. It is hard to decide when all you have to go off is internet photos. After comparing the sights side by side, I kept the Mepros and sent back the Trijicons. Meprolights for my CZ P01 were brighter at night and the white dots around the vials were bigger, which helps in daytime. After putting them on, I have had zero regrets and I'm extremely pleased with them.
Good to hear positive feedback for the Truglo TFO's. I almost went with straight night sights till I started doing a little more reading. I'll be ordering a TFO set for Christmas.
