Why do you need night sights. The flash from your ported barrel will light up you normal sights nicely! You would have lost your ability to see anything else but you should be able to see the sights clearly.

Sorry I am just giving you a hard time. I have some ameriglo and I like them. If you want something bright during the day go with truglo's.

My Ameriglo Speed Rings are very bright and allow for rapid target acquisition. I highly recommend them.

It is tough to compare the TRUGLO TFO sights with standard night sights, as they are different "animals". If you like the look of fiber during normal light conditions, the TFO sights are a great choice. If you like the look of dots, like on the stock sights, the Ameriglos are an excellent choice.

Anthony,

I agree with you, however we recently sold a dozen TFOs to a local PD where Trijicon sights were standard issue. Their Armorer made the call and now all officers run with TFO sights. The Armorer also noted that qualification scores for some of the officers have improved too. They carry Glocks and SIGs.

Can you elaborate on your comment Old School? During the daytime it seems that the TFOs would be fiber sights compared to white three dot, and at night all of the sights would be colored dots. Is there something else that you would add differentiates the sights?

Not really. At night, they both glow green. During normal light conditions is where the differences come in. Do you think I missed something?
