Night Sights for an M&P 45

[T-BoneFL]

I have Trijicon Night Sights on my M&P. Amazon had them for $112. My next set of Night Sights for my 45c will not be Trijicons... think I'll got with TruGlo Tritium or TruGlo TFO. I cannot justify the higher cost of the Trijicons.

All my M&Ps glow w/ trijicons for the sake of commonality. Work great for me.

Truglo TFO on two guns are very good. I especially like the fiber optics in daytime but recommend different colors for front vs rear. Mine are all green and can lead to confusion in a hurry up situation in the dark.

I bought a M&P with XS Big Dots a couple of months ago and was so impressed I installed a 2nd set on my 9mm/c yesterday.
Cannot get a tritium rear for M&P but Big Dots definitely are the best for these tired old eyes. Easy installation too.

These align much more quickly than three dot and for me are every bit as accurate. Then again I shoot equally poorly with anything.

I put the Ameriglo I Dot on, great sight picture.

Had the TFO's they were nice but the trijicon HD's are the best. No distraction. I sometimes found that the TFO's front to rear were too bright and the same color made it worse. The HD's act like very good target sights as you really dont see the vials in the rear sight-just the huge front. Night sight wise typical trijicon. From what I have read the TFO's can be a little fragile while the HD's are built like tanks. I can rack the slide on a table from the rear sight. It was designed to do it and be that tough. For target plinking the TFO's should serve you well. For CC or HD I'd go with the HD's.

Just had AmeriGlow green tritum night sites put on my s&w 9c.

CC night sight recommendation?

Gentlemen,
Have my first pistol, an M&P .45, arriving shortly. Reading multiple Trijicon recommendations. What about night sights for concealed carry application? Looking for a design that will slip easily in/out of holster. Thanks.

Love Trijicon HD on my XDm - with my aging eyes I can shoot with or w/o glasses pretty good - great, unobstructed target acquisition. If I would find the same ones for my M&P 9L CORE (co-witness version)- I would get it immediately.
