2017 sight choices

[Nephrology]

Some flavor of 2 or 3 dot night sights with no paint on the rear vial(s). I mostly have Ameriglo Spartan Tacticals (their trijicon HD style sight), have pro operators on a one gun, a 2 dot mixed setup on my G35 (Heinie rear w/ 1 vial night sight, Dawson Precision white outline tritium FS) and i think ameriglo pro operators on my 3rd gen 19. FO on my game pistol.

Favorite all around sight combo is a red fiber front and a blacked out rear. Usually a .125W front & a .140-.150 rear. However, I am coming around to the Trijicon HD XRs. I have them on *some* of my pistols. Going to explore further. The standard HD front sight is too wide for my taste. I also like the Ameriglo's found on the PX4 CC. As long as I have a bright ass red or orange front sight and a blacked out rear or a rear like a Trijicon HD where the rear dots aren't noticeable I'm happy.

For a while I have preferred a high visibility front tritium sight such as a Tcap or HD with a black rear sight. Recently I have been working with and changing some pistols over to a FO (green) front.

I see the sight much better during daylight and most "normal" indoor lighting. For the times I do not have enough ambient light, I have found weaponlights or a hand held to provide adequate light. I also like I can get a thinner front blade with FO over the tritium.

Lol same. I had a convo with Craig and we both ended up agreeing they were helpful more than they were "needed".

Basically my feeling on the subject, and no real negative if you do have them.

3 dot night sights but I can't stand bright outlines around the rear tubes. My preference is Ameriglo Pro Operator rear (yellow with no outline) and ProGlo orange front.

This is the set up on my retired Glock, with the front being the square CAP.

As long as I have a bright ass red or orange front sight and a blacked out rear or a rear like a Trijicon HD where the rear dots aren't noticeable I'm happy.

Here is where I am today. My primary P250 came with the factory night sights. I hit the rears with black and/or red Sharpie, and ditched the front for an orange Ameriglo ProGlo. My training P250 and both Kahrs have the front white dots painted orange and the dots/bars on the rear blacked out. I don't leave the house without a handheld light.

3 Dots because:

1) When something goes bump in the night (and I'm half asleep) I will easily see the rear sights glowing and not poke around for a pistol with blacked out rears.

2) I think it is considerably easier to shoot in low light situations when you can line up 3 glowing dots.

On my Glock 17 and 34 I just swapped out my Trijicon HD yellow front sights for new HD XRs. I like them a touch better than the standard HDs. I've found the HD sights the best overall sight available, have used them for the past five years (including in low light training), and see no reason to switch.

I've shot a few Glock 19Ms with the Ameriglo FBI sights and have very positive impressions. I find them very similar to the HD sights but they sit lower on the slide. My preference runs to the thinner width front sight (they come in two different widths). I'll likely pick up a pair for my G19 when they become commercially available.

My Wilson Combat 1911 and Beretta Brigadier Tactical have tritium fronts and the plain Wilson rear sights. If HD XRs front sights were available in the right height/dovetail combination to pair with the Wilson rears on these pistols, I'd be very tempted to install them.

I do have a 'Roland Special' G19 that I need to shoot more...

I didn't vote in the poll because I have multiple different types of sights. I also didn't see what correlates closest to my current preferred sight set up. I have mostly three dot night sights followed by white dot front and bar rear non night sights set up. However my current preferred sight set up is high visibility front sight and blacked out rear. I didn't see this as one of the choices. I also have a MRDS. As time and money allow I will switch over to high vis front and blacked out rear but I also plan to try FO front and blacked out rear.

These types of threads/polls are interesting to me. I would also be interested in seeing what people choose for front sight width to rear sight notch ratio. So if a person uses Trijicon HDs or the same with narrower front sight HDs XR versions.

is your hi viz front not a night sight, fiber, or originally black front sight?

[CS Tactical]

Trijicon HD's or Ameriglo CAP sights, but will probably switch them all to Ameriglo Bold sights eventually.

One is and one isn't for the High vis. I have the HDs which have a tritium capsule but the other one doesn't just bright yellow front.
