The combination of a U-notch rear sight and a wide front sight post made it easy to acquire targets quickly, but not as easy to hit them accurately at 20 to 25 yards. When Trijicon released the original HD sights, they became an instant hit with all kinds of shooters. Good luck.Check Price on opticsplanet What We Liked I hope this information is helpful to you. You'll likely have to experiment a bit until you find the set that suits you. I learned at this point that the bright orange outline on the Hack or HDs were far better for me in this regard. Plus, I had a much harder time tracking the front sight when shooting at speed. I couldn't warm up to the 2-Dot configuration and found these sights less accurate, anecdotally, than the Hack or HD sights. The Warren Tactical 2-Dot (i.e., align front sight dot on top of rear sight dot) sights had a U notch in the rear sight and both tritium vials were outlined in white. If the HDs had a square rear notch I would go with these sights on all my Glocks without hesitation. However, I do think the tritium vials in the rear sight are beneficial in low / no light situations. I do prefer the plain black rear (less confusion for my eyes trying to line up 3 dots) but the subdued rear tritiums on the HDs worked well and I did not find them distracting in day light. My brain just preferred the square notch over the U notch. I really wanted to like the HDs but I found the U notch a little weird for me. They work well for me at speed with the orange outline making it very easy to track the front sight and are reasonably accurate at greater distances. They are low profile, do not have sharp edges, have a good ledge for one handed manipulations, and are less expensive than other popular offerings. After trying them all, I've stuck with the Ameriglo Hack sights which have a tritium insert in the front sight surrounded by a bright orange outline, serrated plain black rear with a square rear notch. I've used the Ameriglo Hack, Trijicon HDs, and Warren Tactical 2-Dot configuration sights on my Glocks. I would choose someone else's front sight, if you must have tritium). Wilson Combat sights are my current favorites, with either the fiber optic or gold bead front, but they're the more expensive option (I'm not fond of Wilson's tritium front sight, as it is simply a tritium vial set into a plain black blade. Otherwise, a set of Warren or 10-8 sights, plain rear, FO or a gold or brass bead front sight - or an Ameriglo HD-type, if you can find one. My preference is for something with a U-shaped notch, a profile that tapers toward the top, and a good, hard angle on the front of the sight to use as a cocking assist.įor the money, I'd get a set of Ameriglo Splaudings or Hackathorns if you need to have tritium. Rear sight doesn't matter hugely, so long as it's plain.
Gold bead, brass bead, tritium in a white outline, tritium on fluorescent, fiber optic, whichever one gets your heart moving or has proven the best for you and your anticipated type(s) of shooting. In any event, my preference is a high visibility front and a plain rear. The small dot XS sights aren't really much, if any, better than the big dot sights. The only ding I might have against them, personally, is that the front sight appears to not be particularly high visibility (although it does have a tritium vial up front, if what Google is showing me is any indication). Of the two, I would go with the Defoor sights.
