        I opted to go with TRUGLO TFO sights, rubberized Talon grips, and the Streamtlight TLR-1s. Overall spent about $224 today making my new toy "nightstand friendly" ha! Should be fun.

          Wow subtle and clean.

            May I ask why the TLR-1s? It's pretty much a full size gun light perhaps more suited to the Glock 17.

            I have the TLR-3 on my G19.

                I just purchased a G26. I am going to stipple it and dremel the trigger guard a bit.

                    I used to do TALON grips but they are just not durable enough for me, currently looking at stippling options from someone who won't desecrate the frame the way I would/have.

                    And ammo...buy lots of ammo.
                    Thanatos...please tell us why you like the XS sights.

                      I use the standard sized front dot and just find them fast and intuitive, even more so than a vertical two dot configuration. Night or day you just dot the "i", and there is less worry about lining up dots or getting the front sight aligned in the rear notch. When I was using a three dot set up, I would use a .10 FO up front so I could see more of the target around the front blade but my view was still obstructed by the rear. With the XS's, the wide "V" shaped rear lets me see more of the target area.

                      The profile on the rear is also good for cycling the slide on an inanimate object if you were down to one hand. My only gripe about the XS's is that the machining is a little sharp and they took a chunk out of my hand during a class. I used a 3M automotive soft sanding sponge and beveled the edge which seems to have solved the problem.

                        After seeing your light I opted to do some more research. Dangerous thing because now I need to return my TLR-1s... I liked what you have going with the TLR-3 but I placed an order this morning for a SureFire XC1...

                          Wow, XC1 is sweet but costs some serious bucks. Congrats!

                            XC1 - How to make your $500 gun an $800 gun. HA, I'm such a sucker. Just loved how compact the fit was with the 19.

                              I guess I should clarify, my "three dot" set up was more like one dot. I was using a FO front and then the stock rears with the paint removed so they were "blacked out" but you could still use the dimples as reference points in the right lighting. Obviously that's not quite the same as a single tritium dot or something up front with a designated rear but similar. My buddy has the Trijicon HD's I believe with the one dot setup on his G43 and also runs an RMR on a G34. Having shot all of these options, I still prefer the XS, seems to just work for me.

                                History can repeat itself, and it will soon. And when it does, it won't be the North and South. It'll be the "US Government" and the TRUE American people fed up with the Governments insidious ways, fueled by determination to see this Country return to its former glory.
