Tritium Sights
Great improvement to the standard Glock sights. With the proper tools, installation was a breeze.
Another great set of sights
This was neither the first, nor the last time Trijicon HDs will be put onto a new piece. Super high quality, easy fit, and no worries about reliability.

Heavily Researched Before Purchase
I researched the HD's a LOT before I bought. Several forums mentioned misalignment issues. They said if you align the top of the front post with the top of the rear sight, the three tritium pipes do not line up. I do NOT experience this with my sights. They are dead on. Line up the tops for accuracy shots, line up the front dot on target for quick draws and fast shots, line up the three pipes in low/no lighting. They're all dead nuts on. Another issue that I was concerned about is that the pictures online didn't look like the sight really contrasted that well with your target. Several example pictures looked like white would blend in with the yellow sight. Light browns would blend with the orange. I will put your mind at ease and tell you that both colors contrast perfectly well with ALL targets and backgrounds. Extremely high quality product. My only word of caution: LOCTITE. I didn't want to strip out my front post screw, so I just got it snug. My front sight came off after about 50 rounds. I luckily found it and promptly went to get some Blue Loctite for it (Do NOT use red loctite). Bottom Line: BUY THEM NOW. You won't regret it.
Great sights
Great sight. I'm in my early 50's so my eyesight isn't what it use to be. I have had hard time seeing the regular Trijicon sights that came with my duty weapon. With the bright yellow ring I can now see my front sight clearly. The rear sight is great for one handed racking of the slide in case you loose the use of one of your hands. I installed this sight on a Glock 17 Gen 4. The rear sight was a very snug fit.
Outstanding Sights
I have installed at least 50 sets of these sets on customers and friends guns. Everyone loves them. They are one of the few night sights that you do not loose daytime visibility with. Durable, long lasting and fairly easy to install. They are tight (Good thing) and will require a quality sight pusher to install them. The bold front color along with the U shaped rear sight notch makes quick and accurate sighting real easy, especially for aging or less than perfect vision.
Worth Every Penny
These sights helped me acquire my target much faster than my worn out factory Glock night sights. The Yellow stands out drastically and I noticed my qualification times drop. The Yellow front sight is great. They stand out the best on the paper targets in the day time and areas where there is a lot of light. However when you start transitioning into lower light areas the yellow dot and green tritium tend to fight your dominance with my eyes. While I was shooting these sights the large U-notch in the rear sights helped me get proper sight alignment faster. The rear sights also allowed for plenty of room to ensure that there was "equal height and equal light" helping out with accuracy. The height of these rear sights also make it easier to do one handed manipulations. These are great sights and have already recommended them to many of my coworkers.
Great sights
I had these sights installed on both my Glock and XDM by a gunsmith. The orange dot helps with target acquisition, but note that the orange ring is not visible in the dark.
Trijicon HD Sights
I have several Glocks and some revolvers all with different sight sets. I must say that I believe that the Trijicon HD sights are the best of all that I have seen and used. I have a set on my 10mm. G20. As a NRA Pistol Instructor and competitor I can honestly say that when finances permit, I will change everything that I have to these. The front sight is good in low light (at least the yellow is) and the night sight works very well. The "U" channel is innovative and easy to pick up on during timed shooting.
