Re: XS Big Dot??

I bought a pair of orange/green Meprolight night sights for my USP Compact, and they were horribly dim right out of the box. I sent them back to Midway and exchanged them for a set of Trijicon sights which A) glowed more brightly; AND B) had bigger dots that were easier to see in daytime too.

Others here swear by Meprolight sights and don't like Trijicons for reverse reasons. I can only speak from my own experience, and in my experience, the Trijicons were superior. BTW, my wife's G19 came with Trijicons on it too, and they are great on that pistol also.

My Kimber has whatever their proprietary night sights are on it, and they are also bright and easy to see in both daylight and darkness. I assume they are made by Meprolight, since Kimber is their importer, but perhaps not. I don't really know for sure. But that said, when they do go dim, as all tritium sights eventually do, I'm probably going to try those Truglo combination tritium/fiberoptic sights. HighVelocity has a set on one of his carry guns which he showed me, and I was pretty impressed with them.
