Red front green rear tfo's for xd?

Does Truglo make TFO sights for the XD that have a red front and green rear sight?

that is upsetting. I went to the big cabela's store in PA yesterday and picked up an 870 that had fiber optic sights with green rears and a red front. They were amazing!!!

Red is too dark for the Tritium to glow bright enough. Yellow and Green are the only options as state. For FO only, red it a good choice for normal outside usage. Indoor, with less light, green is good.

As I understand it (posted here before) the red sights(in Tritium) have a significantly shorter life. If I remember it was like 8 years, compared to the 12 years or Green/Yellow

I have new Tru-Glo Fiber Optics on my XD-9-SC and they are green in the rear and red up front.

Here are my 2nd and 3rd targets of 30 rounds each at 30ft.


The #7 circle is 5.5" in diameter on these targets.

You have Fiber-optic, and not tritium's correct? I think he is looking for the TFO(tritium/Fiber-optic) ones.

Yes, I have Fiber Optics which is the only way they offer red front and green in the rear. I just posted this so he would see where he probably saw the red and green combination before. They are great as long as there is a little light in the area where you are shooting.

PS, I'm trying to get comments on my targets also.

you could do a red firber oiptic for the fron and then do green TFOS on the rear but the front sight is more important so best bet would be red FO rear and green TFO up front
