Truglo TFO Tritium & Fiber-Optic Handgun Sight Snag-Resistant Glowing Front & Rear Night Sights, Compatible with Springfield Armory XD Series

I have tried fiber optics, tritium, light absorbing paint and these TFO (tritium + fiberoptics) make an amazing combo! I am very very pleased. The TRUglow brand is wonderful the way it has a low profile and after installing them they are perfectly sighted in on my SA XDm .40...exactly like the factory sights were. These sights have rounded edges so they don't snag on fabric or holsters and I simply love them. They shine brilliantly in the daylight and glow well at night, even in total darkness! I also love the way their glowing is not seen from the sides or in front, but only from the angle of the one holding the gun. These are the best sights I've ever used ever seen on any gun! The only down side is that you have to pay a gunsmith to install them as they are hard to put on and if you hammer them in place you can break them, so this will cost another $50-100. I actually bought "The Sight Pusher" made by Fisher Products and removed my factory sights and installed these... but I'd not recommend it. I ended up spending almost 5 hours to do the project (that I expected to take 20 min) and there were a number of steps that I was worried about breaking my sights or even bending my pistol slide! I recommend just taking yours to a competent gunsmith that has high end tools to use.

Works great, bright and vlear

I have TFO sight sets installed on my Glock 21SF and RIA 1911 EFS. I was impressed by the improvements with sight picture acquisition in both bright daylight and very low light conditions and the improvement on my accuracy as well. So it was a no brainer when I decided to upgrade my stock 3-dot sights on my Springfield XD9 Tactical. I got the same performance in sight/target acquisitions and it do not affected the accuracy of the XD9. As everyone who’s familiar with XD9s, removing the stock sight was very daunting but with patience, perseverance, and ingenuity the sights will come off. Installation of the TFO sight were much more easier and straight forward. Got through 400 rds no issue and the sights stayed in place. Once my other non-TFO pistols tritium sight fizzles out they’re going to be upgraded to either TFO or TFX sight sets.

I've owned some tritium watches and have always been fascinated with the glow of tritium. Tritium lasts about 10 years before the glow fades. No batteries required. If you have flashlights or lasers on your gun the battery may run out when you most need it. With tritium you can always rely on the glow to be there. At least for 10-12 yearsTo put tritium on gun sights is a brilliant idea! I know they've been out for a while. I've looked into purchasing some for a few years. The price was always around $130-$140 when I searched for them. To get these at $80.00 is a bargain! It is night and day difference. Check out my pictures! It is hard for the camera to pick up the light in pitch black darkness so I didn't try a completely dark picture. I see others have already posted similarly. The camera can't capture the actual glow like your eyes do. When you are in complete darkness the tritium is super easy to see to aim your gun. The color and brightness contrast is perfect. The yellow rear sight is slightly dimmer than the brighter front green sight just like it should be. I wouldn't ever get rear and front sights with the same color and brightness. It isn't blinding in complete darkness either, so it is a perfect sight in every way.It is not only amazing in darkness but it is great in any lighting condition. The tritium fiber optic combo is the best of both worlds. When outside in the daytime the fiber optics pick up plenty of light making it very easy to aim as well. If you have factory sights on your gun this purchase is a no brainier. Just buy it already.

Purchased this and a Wolloveevo sight pusher as I grew tired of taking pistols to gunsmith to change out my sights as they grow old or a better sight for my old eyes comes along! Perfect (as expected from Tru-glo, and the most difficult time I had with the sights a the sight pusher was opening the plastic clamshell packaging. Great product; tritium is bright at night, and daytime fiber optics easy to align to Target!!!

Great contrast, works well.

I've had these on my 4th Gen Glock 23 for about 9 months now, still running strong. I shoot 100 rounds a week and haven't had any issues. These sights really shine at night, dusk, or when there is a light source above them. During full daylight on the other hand, nothing special and standard Glock sights work better, but only during full daylight. I have considered and am still toying with the idea of getting a different set of night sights, but only because these ones don't "pop" during the day. You could take a white paint marker and outline the front sight, this would dramatically increase sight picture during the day but I would rather buy a sight that already has this.Would I recommend these sights you ask? I would 100%, they are built sturdy and look good in most light conditions. The green front really draws your eye compared to the yellow rears, this is a good thing. I am just really OCD about my firearms, especially my EDC and am always looking for something better.
