TRU-GLO TFO's , they are awesome. I have a few sets on my Glocks. My shield is next in line.

Can't go wrong with anything from Ameriglo.

 

[dixie_boysles]

Truglo TFO

XS Big Dot for what the Shield was designed for.

I put Ameriglo SW-251's on mine

I also like TFOs. I have them on multiple Glocks and I just installed a set on my Shield yesterday.

Trijicon makes Shield-specific Bright & Tough and HD night sights now.

I'm going to get the Bright & Tough one's since the HD front sight is too tall for my taste. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=SA39-C-600714

Trijicon isn't the cheapest but they make the best tritium sights, IMO. Ameriglo uses the same tritium tubes made by Trijicon and are much less expensive but I still prefer Trijicon. It's personal preference in the end.

I installed the SW-245 Pro-Idots today. I love the look for both night and day.

Ameriglo, hands down, have them on my 40 compact. I wouldn't worry about night sights on my EDC weapon. Unless it was my only weapon and was using it for home defense as well. Not going to help you much in the heat of the moment. You will miss 7 out of 10 shots if that moment arrives, just luck of the draw. Adrenalin will take over and you will find your shots random, unless you have specialized training.

Another Ameriglo user - I-Dot 245's. Tried the TFO's and just didn't care for them... different strokes I suppose. More of a color issue, which is on me, not a fault of the sights. The 245's are green/orange which is a better contrast for me. I have color vision issues (thanks mom! lol ) so the green/yellow seemed to "blend" together, I guess is the best way to say it.

Anyway, TFO's are very popular, I just prefer the I-Dot "strait 8" arrangement.

I've got big dot on my 9 but am having an ameriglo installed on my 22. Will let you know...

I hope you really don't believe that????
If you really believe this you probably shouldn't be carrying a Shield, or any gun for that matter. If you think you will miss 7 out of 10 times, you should be carrying a can of mace and a rape whistle.

If you're really worried about quick target aquisition and accurracy at low light, then you will NOT be using your sights to aim. I recommend the Crimson Trace trigger guard laser for the Shield. There's nothing better to put the fear of God into your local idiot than a red beam stuck on his chest. It makes the sight of a gun in your hand all the more effective. That said, I still have the TruGlo TFO for backup. It works.

I just put TFO's on my shield. I don't know if they're the best, but so far I like 'em.

Same as my 245's, which have single rear dot under notch instead of standard 2 dot config. Very nice, easy to acquire.

 

[mailman390]

I have the TruGlo TFO's on my Shield......love them!

 

[mistahd]

Ameriglo SW-345 on my Shield 40. Love them.
