Would like to see that video when you get a chance. I don't think I would want them on my 19 but they might be an option when the PPS gets here.

Holy crap, TruGlo makes a TFX Pro fiber optic front for the PX4. Sold.
Hit the range today.
Straight off I'll say Trijicon HD's are better sights.
But...
The TFX Pro's are a dang good alternative if HD's aren't available or the HD's for your particular pistol suck (*cough* PPS *cough*).
The Tritium glows great under no light and along with the fiber optic shows up well under moderate light, during the day it's typical bright fiber optic goodness.
They are typical "drive the dot" POA/POI inside 7Y, "top center of the front blade" out to 35Y and "Lollipop" at 50Y. Just like my HD's.
If I was designing these sights to be perfect (and to dethrone the HD's) I'd rework the rear sight to have smaller diameter dim yellow fiber optic/tritium.
As is, all three dots are the same size and same brightness and the front just does not stand out like it should (and HD's do).
I plan on buying 3 more sets of TFX Pro's, 2 for my Walther PPS's and one for my Kahr PM9.
But on my H&K's I'll just keep my orange HD's (except the VP9 that's currently wearing the TFX's). They aren't good enough to replace existing HD's, but they also aren't "bad" enough to replace with HD's.

After playing with the TFX Pro's, I'd go with them over the HD's or the XS on a PPS.

So what would you recommend for a G19?
CAP, the new TFO’s, XS or the HD’s
I have Ameriglo Hackathorn's on my Glocks, because they were the best thing going back when I was shooting Glocks. My knowledge of current Glock options is limited.

I just picked up a VP9 and its a keeper. I've never spent the dough to replace my stock sights, but I'm going to with this one. Jody, for a HD gun, would you go with the TFxPros or the HDs if you were having to make the choice for your main weapon? Thanks!

Will these work on a p30?

On the VP9 I've been using the TFX Pros on my carry pistol because of their lower profile and smoother edges.
The HD's are good sights for the VP9 since they don't have as sharp of edges on them as the PPS HD's do.
It's a toss up as to which look better to your eyes.
