I just bought a pair of these sights. I am sure there are some of you folks that already use them. How do you like them......pros and cons?

No issues with these for me. The fit was exact and the visibility of the sight picture was perfect. I chose these for two reasons. 1 the Quest Minimalist IWB Holster places the weapon against your body with no real barrier. The tapered rear sight is very comfortable versus the AMERIGLO I Dot (although it is a great sight). 2 when the Tritium life expectancy expires in the future there will still be a good visibility with the fiber optic aspects of the. There are my Pros. No Cons yet but I will update you if I come up with one.

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been looking at these sights for my 40c. I'm curious to see what the feedback is also.

Move over....I need a seat in this boat...thinking about these also for my Shield 45 so I am most interested in the comments also..

I am not sure the advantage of the pro vs the TFO yellow rear ones. All information provided in this thread will be consumed and appreciated.

I have the Ameriglo Pro i Dot on my Shield 9. Love them. They give you high visibility in the daylight and great sight picure at night. Better picture here than I could show you is at the link. They also make them with a 2 dot rear sight.AmeriGlo Smith Wesson Front and Rear Sets, No Shield, I Dot SW-501 Up To 28% OFF Best Rated

I have a set that I have been using on a daily carry for a little over a year now. No complaints here. I like. I'd recomend and buy again if needed.

I have them on my Walther PPQ. They are very well made and thus far quite durable. I like the sight picture and the speed in which I can pick up the front sight. I wish the rear sights were more subdued (not a fan of 3 dot sights) otherwise I really like them.

I have the Truglo TFX Pro on my Shield, FS9 and FS45 and they work for me both day and night. No complaints here either !

Installed TFX on my Shield 45 ACP, I like fiber optics and I like Tritium. I did put a TFO front sight on my 10 mm 1911, front sights matter more to me anyway.

I have the TFX (not pro) I put on my Shield .45 a couple weeks back. Definete upgrade and easier for me to quickly get a good sight picture. Two questions you need to answer to dcecide pro or not. 1. What color front ring do you prefer. I iiked the white better than orange personally. 2. Is the sharp sight edge for one hand slide manipulation important to you. I preffered the more comfortable rounded profile of the non pro. Either way, it is a great upgrade!

I like white also and rounded too. I have a AMERIGLO on my M&P 40 PRO with a yellow that I like but that I-Dot rear has sharp and a uncomfortable feeling in the waist.
