Thank you.sigpic -

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.

Thanatos...please tell us why you like the XS sights.My Glocks get XS sights, a 3.5 lb trigger connector, OEM extended magazine release with the serrations sanded down, and 10-8 Performance base plates for the magazines.
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.Comment

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.sigpicComment

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...Comment

Wow, XC1 is sweet but costs some serious bucks. Congrats!LA County CCW Renewal Progress

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.Originally posted by HopetonBrownTry a 1 dot, even faster. But you also get the bonus of a notch and post design where you can line up the tops of the sights for shots requiring high accuracy.sigpicComment
