    Night Sights for my Glock

    Hey folks,
    Recently got a Glock 21 SF, mainly for range and to have at home for defense. It came with stock plastic sights. I actually like the dot and the cup sighting picture but want a fixed night sight for HD use if needed.

    I haven't found any stock sight picture in Night Sights, so now I'm thinking the three dot configuration and price is an issue.
    I noticed that Truglo tritium is cheapest but no nothing about them, also considering stock Glock version or Meprolights (if they are better than Glocks).

    Any insight from those that have first hand experience with Night Sights for Glocks would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    It really comes down to personal preference. I tried the Truglo TFOs on my Glock but hated them. I prefer Trijicons on all of my guns with Meprolights coming in second.

      I just put the meps on my glocks and love em. 2 yellowwith green. Very easy to get on the front sight and nice bright contrast

        Tanks for the input folks.
        Checking out Nutnfancy on youtube, he says he likes meprolights b/c they are brighter than the others.

        Also any thoughts on the stock Glock Night Sights?

            I like the TFOs on competition Glocks, but have used Meprolight, Trijicon and Ameriglo on "business" pistols. All have worked well.
            I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

              I really dig my Trijicon HD's I also like the Heine QWIK straight 8's I've tried about half a dozen different sights trying to find the best. BTW NS aren't a replacement for a light. If your in the dark and have your light on you won't be able to see the tritium glowing you will see the profile of you sights.

                My understanding is that OEM GLOCK night sights are made by MePro. I have a set I just took off my G23 if you're interested.

                    Ameriglo is an affordable option. Trijicons under a different brand name. Same parts, different label.

                    Trulgo is a great option, just make sure they are actually Tritium. They make non-tritium sights as well that are just colored tubes and do not glow in the dark. If they are too cheap, you are probably looking at the non-tritium version.

                      Thanks for the info. I really like these sights from Ameriglo.
                      I like their "CAP" sights

                      Same pattern I have on my sig 1911 TTT.
                      Too bad they don't have them for the 21.

                      Dhena81,
                      Thanks for the information on the lights making the sights into silhouettes when on.

                      Does anyone know If I stuck with the stock sights and put a rail light would that allow me to see the sight picture? If I replace my Sig 1911 TTT with my G21SF, I was thinking about getting the Streamlight TL-3. Not much use in getting night sights if I turn on the light and I can't see the sights glowing is what I'm thinking.

                      Thanks for all the great info. folks.

                        I put the Heini Slant Pro Straight 8 night sights on my G36. Love 'em.

                        It's too late, it's over.

                          I liked the stock Glock sight picture but my holsters chewed up the plastic sights within minutes. I replaced the rear sight with a Glock steel sight that has the same "U" outline on it. I replaced the front sight with an Ameriglo Glock night sight. I now have the same Glock sight picture with more durability and the ability to see the front sight in the dark.

                            For a fighting gun, I like Warren Tactical. If it was a competition/range gun, then the TFO sights would be my choice.

                            The XS sights are also nice and worth a mention.
