Best Tritium or Night Sights -Glock 17

[Pecos]

I dont really want to do this my self because I watched 2 Utube vidios & they had to use a drimmel tool to get the rear sight on?????

Thanks TAM: I really like these. Better to spend a few more dollars & get something really good.
When it come to guns I have a weakness & tend to spend money I really dont have!!!! My Wife wont let me go to the gun display case!!!!!

How long do you think it would take a gun shop to install there? 30 minutes?

I had the guy at Shoot Smart in Fort Worth do it while I waited. As I recall, I had not yet received the sight pusher I had ordered, and I just wanted to get it done. I think they charged me something in the $20-$40 range if I recall correctly, and it took about 20 minutes while I waited.

BTW, if you decide you like the Battle Hook better, I believe that OldCannon is a distributor, and you can get them directly from him too.

I've got the truglo brite sites on my m&p. I have to. Turn the sights away from me at night because I can literally see the green glow from its bedside holster. Cost me $89 INSTALLED.

There's a family owned gunsmith/ dealer in hurst Texas. About 15 mins from ft worth. Great prices, and he'll go out of his way for you.

OldCannon (Austin)is about an hour drive from San Antonio. That is still an option. Im going to see what APTS has first right after work Im heading over there!
There open till 8 PM. I'll see what there prices are & if they will include free installation. There gunsmith my leave at 5PM , not sure.
I have bought a lot of reloading stuff from them back in the day when primers were $1.95 a box of 100. LOL.
They better treat me right!!!

Another vote for the Truglo TFO's from me. I've had a set on my G17 for over a year and I've had zero problems with them. Bright as the sun in day light, and bright enough to avoid being distracting in darkness. You do need to be cautious with cleaning solvents on them though... I've heard some bad reactions from the fiber when they meet.

Another vote for Amerglos. I have the idots with green back and orange front. Doesn't look like they make that combo anymore but you might want to call and ask Rick. My front site looks very much like the one TAM posted. Rear sight allows you to rack slide one handed by catching it on belt or pants.

One caution about multicolor tritium sights:

With some manufacturers any color other than green has a shorter warranty period.

I should have described the front sight better. It is green tritium surrounded by a hi-viz orange paint. Not orange tritium - my bad. See post below:

Another vote for truglo! They are great on my Glock 20sf. Work well in both day and night

Also FYI but I think the factory Glock night sights are made by metrolight. Really I don't think you could go wrong with Truglo, Metrolight or Trijicon. I have used them all and all work great. The Trijicon might be a little brighter then the metrolights but It is not a huge difference.

$99.95 Installed.
Truglo T.[abbreviated profanity deleted] Tritium\Fiber Optic. all green.

I just use the glock night sites. They were about 50 bucks at GT's and work just fine.
