Ameriglo, Tru-Glo, Trijicon, Meprolight, something else?

It's really not difficult to do yourself.

Just installed the AmeriGlo Pro-i-dot SW-501 on my m&p 9c. I am very impressed with the quality of the sights. Installed fairly easily with my pusher tool. I am impressed with the brightness and really like the i-dot system. Very easy to pick up my target quickly.

I have the Ameriglo Hack SW433B on route, should be installed in a few days.

I'm rocking an Ameriglo Proglo front sight (almost identical to Trijicon HD) and a 10-8 Performance U-notch rear for the Shield.

The front sight is visible under any lighting condition. It features photoluminescent paint that can be charged using any light source as well as a Trijicon tritium center insert.

The 10-8 Shield rear sight is a fantastic match for the front sight. It is rounded/snag free, features a cocking ledge for one handed manipulations, serrated to reduce glare, and is plain black. Your focus goes right to the front sight where it belongs every time.

Extremely fast sight acquisition; it is similar to an XS Big Dot setup only better IMO. Just drop the big dot in the u-shaped cup.

this looks promising
Was the rear site the fatter option 1.56 ?
Or did you get the 1.40

+1 on the Trijicon HD but I prefer the orange front sight. Very quick and easy acquisition.

I have the TFOs. Best of both worlds. Tritium for low light, Fiber Optic for day.

In Light:



Dark or low light



Not to mention they are a little bit cheaper than Trijicons as well.

On my Shield I went with the Meprolight TFO's because they're compact and bright in any condition. On my full size stuff I went with Trijicon HD's because of their sight picture (quick acquisition...), and compact build quality.

I don't have any pics yet with my new setup, but I like my Tru-Glo sights. But I don't think you can go wrong on the others. They are all quality aftermarket sights...it'll just be preference. Do you have any buddies with any of these sights. If you do, you might ask to handle there firearm to see about sight acquisition and overall look/feel. Good luck!
