I have just installed HD yellow trijicons on my new Glock 19 gen3 and I light them alot. I was thinking of getting a set of Hacks or spartan tactical sights of my gen 2 glock 19. I installed warren carry sights on it a few years back when the tritium meps died and went to HK P30.
What would you get for a backup gun, I have no issue with 3 dot or single dot. My P30s have dawson tritium front and 10-8 black rears.
Why would you not just set up your back up exactly like your primary?
FWIW, I run an Ameriglo .125 green front painted orange by ameriglo or me depending on the age of said sight with a .180 yellow Pro Operator rear. The "Spartan" set up I believe, though myself and many others on the forum were putting this together pre Spartan. For me, an all black rear increases the likelihood of a less than optimal hit in low light v. having a dim 2-dotted rear.
YMMV Greatly.

If you like the yellow of the HD's, take a look at the CAP's or TCAP's. I use the TCAP's on 5 Glocks and like them a lot.
Much to my dismay. After installing Warren's a month or so ago on my Glock 19.
I handled a Glock for sale with Vicker's new battle sights.
They work really well.
I'm now heavily considering changing again.
Mainly looking at switching to get something close to what I am using. I have HD's on one G19 that after I get this holster set up I will be using that gun a lot. I guess the thing was I have not shot much with any gun with the Orange HD type sights.Originally Posted by vcdgrips
I have not used Spartans or Hacks yet as well but I like the Black 10-8 and Dawson Tritium combo on the P30 that I carried for three years.
I'd match the HDs first if I liked them.
I actually have Hacks on my primary carry gun and Spartans on a secondary gun, but largely because I won the hacks first and didn't discover and track down the Spartan config until much later. The rears on the Spartans are subdued enough that I don't see any disadvantage to them over the hacks, but there is an advantage to having the rear dots if you need them.

I am a huge fan of the Ameriglo sights, I have the orange front, yellow trit rear on several of my Glocks

If you aren't going with HDs on your second G19 I'd go with the Spartans mainly because they're a similar set up, bright orange front dot with tritium up front and two tritium vials in the back.
I talked with Rich a few minutes ago and he said if I wanted something similar but smaller profile to try this
TCAP Green with circle with GL-212-165-120
Pro Operator rear in yellow GL-229-OP-R (Pro Operator Series)
I am waiting on Trijicon to get back with me on price with their Trijicon discount for Vets/Military.
I can get the Spartan's for $88 dollars but this will be the last sight sight I can change out for awhile due to well new Medical bills that will grow in the next month or so.
