I ran the Truglo TFOs on my Springfield XD-40 subcompact for twelve years. The tritium finally quit (although the sights still work as straight fiber optic sights), so I recently replaced them with the Truglo TFX Pros. Both sight systems are great - you can't go wrong with Truglo stuff.
I got around to running big dots on all my defensive pistols. When training I found it difficult to go from sight to sight. The same sight on all my guns makes it easier when the shit hits the fan. A wise old man once said about carrying, “same gun, same place, all the time.” When you really need it quick you don’t have time to try to remember where you put it or what type of sights are on this particular gun. Sounds like pretty solid advise to me.
Smart advice im a new shooter and looking for some advice on sights. I went with I dot Pro on my Glock 19 and like them but have trouble picking up the front for my eyes for some reason. I just got today the 43x and want to get big dots think I will.
@@Jasondranoff how did you like the big dots my vision ain't as good as it should be and I'm thinking that those are probably the ones for me but I I am a little skeptical about that Wing in the back instead of a u notch but I just want some advice how do you like them do they work well thank you for your time in advance
I really wish the manufacturers would start offering a blacked out rear with a fiber front. They are the best bang for the buck. They are already MIMing a lot of the sights and installing a fiber can't cost much more than programing a robot to paint the white dots or having a person do it. Ameriglos and fibers are great if you are on a budget but if you've got the time matching a Trijicon HD front with a blacked out rear is the current way to go. But you're pretty much limited to glocks and Smith and Wesson M&Ps if you want your POA/POI to be correct. I like pretty much anything will a subdued rear and a bright front. Night Fission sights also look interesting but time will tell. They are selling just the fronts for $40.00 but no word on the height so I'm not sure what rears they would match with.
XS Big Dot for self defense and Standard Dot for competition are the BEST sights... lateral target acquisition is amazing as is the speed... lining up the sight at night is so natural.. they are on all my handguns. :)
I am fan of the TFX PRO sights. I have had the big dots and they worked well for me. I had the Amriglow on a G19 and the tritium portion glowed well but seemed small to my57 year old eyes lol. I will put TFX Pro's on anything they make them for I hope they come out with a set for the Baretta APX. Great vid keep up the good work!!
I just bought a set of Ameriglo Spartan operators for my Glock 43, I had a set of Trijicon HD sights on it but I was hitting 6” low at 7 yards which for me was way too far off. The factory sights were dead accurate. I contacted Trijicon to see if they’d send me a shorter front sight post but they wanted me to send in my slide and I wasn’t interested in giving up my concealed carry gun for that long. So I sent back the Trijicon HD’s back to Brownells and picked up the Ameriglos. Haven’t had a chance to test them yet. Great video thanks for showing some different options.
For the last few years I've fallen in love with 2 dot sights, such as Ameriglo I Dot Pros, Heinie Straight 8's, And Warren Tactical Sevigny 2 dots. Which are all great, now for the last few months I've been playing with the Frank Proctor Y notch fiber optics, and I really like them. The Trijicon HDs were my first decent intro to night sights, which I still own and like. But, I have found my eyes like a square notch rather then a U notch. Good stuff as always brother.
Harry's Holsters I used to look down on fiber optics, but I told myself to stop being closed minded and try new things. I have since found that I really like the sight picture, along with cost, and ease of fixing the front sight if it were to break compared tritium. I also like how they interact with a flashlight in low light situations. I plan on putting some on my 2.0 compact pretty soon.
Nice review. Prefer tru-glo much brighter in low light than trijicon side by side, but the fastest most accurate for my vision is the lolly pop or i-dot system. Sig had them standard equipment on the p220 and p226 when they first introduced them mid to late 80's and referred to the style as "combat sights" in white contrast. The fastest sights I've ever used.
I like the blue background! As for sights, I’m not brand specific but I do prefer some sort of “hd” type sight. Trijicon or Ameriglo are great options for that.
Somewhere I read a stat that summarized actual defensive shooting incidents. It was 3/3/3. Meaning: Total time of engagement-3 seconds, distances of parties involved-3 feet, and lastly total shots fired- 3 shots exchanged between good guy/ bad guy. These were averages. Since then I've come to appreciate the advice of a fellow who taught to shoot 40 years ago. The rule he gave me was regarding instinctive/ point shooting. The handgun you choose must be a natural pointer for you. Don't totally rely on any sight. You won't have much time to use them. If it doesn't point for you, pick something else that will.
My SIG Sauer P 220 came with X Ray-3 sights, so I left them on; good enough. My Beretta 92X came with a blacked out rear and a stupid orange front sight that I can't see to save my life (I never understood the value of a blacked out rear sight); so it's XS Big Dots for the Beretta!
I have the hackathorn version of the Spartans. The organge sounded great but in a dimly lit house it’s not bright at all in daylight outdoors it’s pretty bright. The tritium isn’t bright either compared to my Meprolight Tru dots I used to have on my Glock.
I like Big Dots but they dont make them for either of my carry guns. When I was carrying a Shield, I found the best combination for me was the Big Dot on the front and the factory sight in the rear. It still gave me fast acquisition with good precision.
Tfx pro is on my carry gun. They are good in day and low light. They also are a little more rounded than the Trijicon hd sights which can poke the shit out of you.
I think I favor the two dot system. I have some trijicons on my Sheild. They're fine sights, but I do like the big dots on my PPS more. I shopped for XS sights for my Sheild, but I didn't like that they don't have the tritium in the rear sights. Enter Ameriglo I-dot. I should have those on my Sheild soon.
A quick to the point , informative video. Really like those Ameriglo Spartan sights! Great set of pistols you have..we have the same taste in firearms. the grips on the P01 & P07 are wicked! God bless your G19..Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Good video man. I have Trijicon HD on one of my guns. I have TruGlo on everything else. I agree about the Orange ring on the TFX PRO's it is not as eye catching as Trijicon HD orange sights. I prefer the white ring on my TruGlo. I have been thinking about trying the big dot. Good information bro. I have the TruGlo pro on my daughters G43 and they work good for her very good sight picture.
Thanks for the sight information. I only shoot competition in the daylight so I run red fiber optic on all CZs and Glocks. I like when you bring out the G19...as a matter of fact, I Shot a Glock 17 with factory rear and red fiber optic by Dawson Precision...and it shot very well. My favorite sight picture is a plain black rear serrated sight and 1mm red F/O front....Warren Tactical competition set on my Glock 34.
Good job, I love the Truglo Tritium Pro’s myself. The white dot, front sight is HARD to miss. I’m looking to get a HK P2000 and will probably get the Big Dot, since Truglo doesn’t make any sights for it.
Kenneth Walton , just a heads up. I have big dots on some of my pistols. But they don't work good on shorter sight radius slides. They did not work well on my p2000sk, or my p01, but were great on my glock
Word of advice. Get your sights directly from the manufacturer. I bought the TFX Pro sights off Amazon and were very dim old stock. Go for the brand new ones.
Man, I just got the Tru Gko Pro’s in for my M&P Shield. I will say they are very nice. And I’m like you, I shop around first to see the deals. I got mine off eBay for about $72 shipped. That wasn’t bad, they are sold out on their website. I will try AmeriGlo next. Those CZ’s are cold blooded also. Thanks for the video.
I just need to bite the bullet and get one nice pair for my Steyr M9. I think it would make a great CCW gun. I have the S9 too, and a little surprise is on the way. hehe heeeee
The orange circle with green tritium insert only on front, and rear sight with only green (blackout in daylight) AND post front, U shaped rear seems to center the eye rapidly, but its still some grip and trigger management, not magic.
I think the Ameriglo's are the best sights for the money right now. Always work great for me. The new Pro series that they came out with are perfect with the U notch rear and orange outline front.
Just ordered the TFX Pros for my Steyr m9 a2 I hate to take the stock sights off because they are unique and part of the character of this great pistol but I gotta have night sights. The guy at my local gun shop recommended them to me and let me look at his Cz 75 that had them and I really liked them, very easy to pick up the front sight and having astigmatism and being cross eye dominant I need all the help I can get
Great vid! My eyes like a blacked out rear with a fiber optic front. If you are looking for good fiber optic sights try the Frank Proctor Y-notch sights or the Taran Tactical Sights. The frank proctor sights are kinda like the big dots up close with the huge y notch at the top of the sight then at distance the lower portion of the sight can be used to allow for perfect alignment because the front post is larger then the lower portion of the rear post. I know it sounds kinda confusing but after a few hundred rounds you get a feel for them
Not a fan of the big sights. Had em on my rig at one point, and they do have their merits for quick acquisition, however hand to adjust presentation as most of my guns are traditional 3 dot though with training I adapted. Again, anything can be over come with training, however to be consistent and to avoid confusing new shooters, I eventually got rid of the XS big dots. Not saying they don't work; that's the beauty of the gun market, you can customize to your preferences.
Really old video I just found of yours, this is great info! I just picked up my first CZ, a P-01, looking to replace the factory sights on it. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of options for CZ 75 series pistols. Any suggestions? Love the fiber Dawson’s on my Q5 but not very good in low light so I’m looking for tritium and something with a really bright green front sight post that really draws your eye.
@@zeeg928 I went with truglo tritium sights, big orange dot on the front sight post and green rear U notch. Works very well it's definitely a huge step up over the factory sights!
@DIYDad1 I have the blacked out tac rear sights an a Dawson Fiber optic on the front for my P-01 but an thinking about switching the front for a night sight thanks fir sharing your choice/ experience.
Got an email from Century Arms that those same truglow sights are now available for the Canik Elite. It would make a great stocking stuffer for me. Lol. Good video.
Depends on each gun and it's purpose but for EDC CCW XS Big Dot or Heinie For just a range gun AmeriGlo or Trijicon fiber optics For a home defense gun/competition gun an RMR
You and Byron Childers likes XS Big Dots. Byron has them on all his handguns and an AR. I have Big Dots on my Smith 2.0. I have HiViz sights on my Ruger Security 9, green front and red rear, but I'm thinking about putting Big Dots on it. On my Sig 320 I have stock sights, except I did mark the front sight with an orange marker ( not nail polish or model paint) The good thing about using that is I can remove it easy with goog remover. My Springfield XD mod 2 has stock sights. since it is my newest gun, bought it in early Dec. and haven't had as much range time with it yet.
Everything comes down to what you are using your gun as. XS big dot are the best no light personal self defense sight in my opinion. Now if I'm running a gun with a light more sights become great sights. If for some reason your light doesn't work I like the F8 from XS or a any figure 8 style with a moderate front sight should work and you could still argue Big dots for that reason alone. Now for a pure range/race gun sight XS sight fall off and fiber optic sights jump up for me. Cause for just fun shooting fiber optics are a blast and I could argue just as good as a RMR dot sight. But RMR is awesome I can say once you get into it but just pull and shoot with crazy accuracy no major readjustment needed would be my argument against and at first target acquisition horrible, well it was for me. Probably half second slower compared to a clunky 3 dot and a full second over XS Big dots. But once you have them close to a 3 dot. The accuracy and continuous close target acquisition is superb.
Great video. Very informative and objective. Appreciate the info! I personally prefer the XS Big Dots for concealed carry and for Home/SHTF/battle sights, I prefer the Truglo TFX Pro sights. I will have to look into the Tritium Pros. Those are interesting.
The front nite site filling for my Shield 2.0 fell off some where between 700-850 rounds. What junk, I paid for factory nite sites to forgo buying them. Now I get screwed twice price wise in the pocket books.
Very Informative video well done thanks for making the comparison's for us ,But if u make a follow-up to this ,can u tell us Which ones allowed u to keep a decent shot group at 9-10yrds.on Paper.
Unless you are real operator, how many times have you had the absolute need to perform a tacticool one-handed slide manipulation?...and of those times, how many times did you also perform the corresponding one-handed tacticool mag switch?.... Yeah, that's what I thought.
Asking these questions out of ignorance because I don't know 1. Does anyone ever think that the big dots are so big that it hurt you at longer ranges? 2. I picked up a gun that has Dawson fiber optic front sights and it's a very thin tube and more of a gun that allows me to shoot further distances. 3. I have a CZ po1 and I really don't care about my rear sights but would like to change my front sight does anyone have a suggestion for only changing my front sight and keeping my factory rear sights?
1. Big dots can be used for distance with obvious drawbacks, however keep in mind what would you consider a max distance for self defense. Big dots are a self defense sight. 2. Fibers are good and have that advantage 3. Get yourself truglo tritium pros affordable and excellent sights front and back. I have them on 2 of my p01's
I've used TruGlo TFO sights on my Glock21 for 14-15 yrs now. I want to replace them now in case the tritium is fading but I don't think it is, so I'm looking around. I thought u did a good video review, thank you! I would like a big or very bright front sight. Now I'm kind of use to fiber optic in day, so I'm not sure about giving that up. Is your recommendation TruGlo TFX? I tell u I sure like the fiber optic on my shotgun for duck season. Do u know besides Truglo, what other sights have have fiber optic and tritium sights that are quality sights? I like those big dots! But I would like to see them in orange ,red or green. But if u say the white stands out during daylight and night time I might check them out. I like that snow cone sight u mentioned, what's the official term for that sight. How are the Hi Vizz H3 sights if u know? Thanks if u have time to answer all my questions.
I tend to go twords the ameriglo Spartans. But on my cz's I have the 3 dot night sights from Cajun gun works. Either way like most people I have to have some kind of night sights on my pistols. it bothers me even if they spend most of their time in the safe if they have contrast sights lol
@@1776orbust let me know! I’m getting a credit at optics planet and ready to buy something else just don’t know which one. My options are the hyper bright,trij hd and cap sights.
Hi, Great video and very informative. how are the big dots on the PPQ, do they shoot point of a point of impact?. I just got the trijicon HD Orange. i need to take them to the range to try them out.
Walter the big dots are unique in the fact that it's basically point and shoot because the dot is very large I wouldn't exactly say it's the most Marksman type site but it'll do the job basically just run the dot over what you're pointing at and it's going to hit the target I think they're am excellent self-defense site one of these days I'm going to try the standard size. To see if it makes a difference
ua-cam.com/video/3JSejHrhWrw/v-deo.html they're built very well but I don't think the front window is large enough so the front gets taken over by the rear
I ran the Truglo TFOs on my Springfield XD-40 subcompact for twelve years. The tritium finally quit (although the sights still work as straight fiber optic sights), so I recently replaced them with the Truglo TFX Pros. Both sight systems are great - you can't go wrong with Truglo stuff.

i'dstill say it boils down to personal preference and eyesight
i agree!
I would like to see what you think of the Night Fision, they seem to be the one at this time.
I like big dots and I can not lie!
+ShotgunMikey81 big dots are a great choice
These others can't deny!
I know you will probably talk about this but I love the Ameriglo I dot pro sights.
I really wish the manufacturers would start offering a blacked out rear with a fiber front. They are the best bang for the buck. They are already MIMing a lot of the sights and installing a fiber can't cost much more than programing a robot to paint the white dots or having a person do it.
Ameriglos and fibers are great if you are on a budget but if you've got the time matching a Trijicon HD front with a blacked out rear is the current way to go. But you're pretty much limited to glocks and Smith and Wesson M&Ps if you want your POA/POI to be correct.
I like pretty much anything will a subdued rear and a bright front.
Night Fission sights also look interesting but time will tell. They are selling just the fronts for $40.00 but no word on the height so I'm not sure what rears they would match with.

I don't have night sights yet. I 'm trying to decide, but I do love your G-19 ( American Flag ).
You and Byron Childers likes XS Big Dots. Byron has them on all his handguns and an AR. I have Big Dots on my Smith 2.0. I have HiViz sights on my Ruger Security 9, green front and red rear, but I'm thinking about putting Big Dots on it. On my Sig 320 I have stock sights, except I did mark the front sight with an orange marker ( not nail polish or model paint) The good thing about using that is I can remove it easy with goog remover. My Springfield XD mod 2 has stock sights. since it is my newest gun, bought it in early Dec. and haven't had as much range time with it yet.
I'm thinking about putting Big Dots on all of my guns.
Everything comes down to what you are using your gun as. XS big dot are the best no light personal self defense sight in my opinion. Now if I'm running a gun with a light more sights become great sights. If for some reason your light doesn't work I like the F8 from XS or a any figure 8 style with a moderate front sight should work and you could still argue Big dots for that reason alone. Now for a pure range/race gun sight XS sight fall off and fiber optic sights jump up for me. Cause for just fun shooting fiber optics are a blast and I could argue just as good as a RMR dot sight. But RMR is awesome I can say once you get into it but just pull and shoot with crazy accuracy no major readjustment needed would be my argument against and at first target acquisition horrible, well it was for me. Probably half second slower compared to a clunky 3 dot and a full second over XS Big dots. But once you have them close to a 3 dot. The accuracy and continuous close target acquisition is superb.
I like that American Flag Glock, very cool, nice job on describing the different sights.
Thank you
Truglo Tritium Pros are hard to beat for the price.
Mister 223556 yes they are
The must have for CC. That Steyr. Love it. Saw the M9 A1 last night for $499. Started Jonesing.
+InSight Freedom buy it
Anything but the Truglow, they shot low for me. I like the Trijicon HD’s on my glocks, but they don’t make them for my favorite guns. (CZ’s)
Truglo’s definitely shoot low. I had them on my ppq m2 then switched to Trijicon hd xr shoots perfect
Great vid.. thanks.
Great video. Very informative and objective. Appreciate the info! I personally prefer the XS Big Dots for concealed carry and for Home/SHTF/battle sights, I prefer the Truglo TFX Pro sights. I will have to look into the Tritium Pros. Those are interesting.
+rotadyma yeah the tritium pros seem real nice
The front nite site filling for my Shield 2.0 fell off some where between 700-850 rounds. What junk, I paid for factory nite sites to forgo buying them. Now I get screwed twice price wise in the pocket books.
Very Informative video well done thanks for making the comparison's for us ,But if u make a follow-up to this ,can u tell us
Which ones allowed u to keep a decent shot group at 9-10yrds.on Paper.
Unless you are real operator, how many times have you had the absolute need to perform a tacticool one-handed slide manipulation?...and of those times, how many times did you also perform the corresponding one-handed tacticool mag switch?.... Yeah, that's what I thought.
Asking these questions out of ignorance because I don't know
1. Does anyone ever think that the big dots are so big that it hurt you at longer ranges?
2. I picked up a gun that has Dawson fiber optic front sights and it's a very thin tube and more of a gun that allows me to shoot further distances.
3. I have a CZ po1 and I really don't care about my rear sights but would like to change my front sight does anyone have a suggestion for only changing my front sight and keeping my factory rear sights?
1. Big dots can be used for distance with obvious drawbacks, however keep in mind what would you consider a max distance for self defense. Big dots are a self defense sight.
2. Fibers are good and have that advantage
3. Get yourself truglo tritium pros affordable and excellent sights front and back. I have them on 2 of my p01's
I've used TruGlo TFO sights on my Glock21 for 14-15 yrs now. I want to replace them now in case the tritium is fading but I don't think it is, so I'm looking around. I thought u did a good video review, thank you!
I would like a big or very bright front sight. Now I'm kind of use to fiber optic in day, so I'm not sure about giving that up. Is your recommendation TruGlo TFX? I tell u I sure like the fiber optic on my shotgun for duck season.
Do u know besides Truglo, what other sights have have fiber optic and tritium sights that are quality sights? I like those big dots! But I would like to see them in orange ,red or green. But if u say the white stands out during daylight and night time I might check them out. I like that snow cone sight u mentioned, what's the official term for that sight. How are the Hi Vizz H3 sights if u know?
Thanks if u have time to answer all my questions.
I like the Trijicon Sight. Sights are like holsters. What works for you
+live4wild indeed I'm a fan of the Ameriglos
XS BigDots for me!
I tend to go twords the ameriglo Spartans. But on my cz's I have the 3 dot night sights from Cajun gun works. Either way like most people I have to have some kind of night sights on my pistols. it bothers me even if they spend most of their time in the safe if they have contrast sights lol
Shawn M how do you like the Dawson sights? I own several CZ’s.
Nice review, the TFX Pro is my pick
+Keanon Gilliam they're all great choices
Bud's Guns currently has the I-Dots for $62.... y'all welcome!
P.S. your CZ P-01 is looking Sharp,also the American flag Glock👍
I like the TFX pro!
+Keith Gregory goid choice
Good video, and good information, thanks.
Ameriglo spartan operator for me. Nice review!
+Kerry Hartman Spartans are sweet
I like the Ameriglow Spartans
I’m curious about the Meprolight hyper bright and Trijicon HD’s. Tried the Xs RD3 but was highly disappointed and returned them.
I just ordered a front for my vp9 in green so we'll see
@@1776orbust let me know! I’m getting a credit at optics planet and ready to buy something else just don’t know which one. My options are the hyper bright,trij hd and cap sights.
Hi, Great video and very informative. how are the big dots on the PPQ, do they shoot point of a point of impact?. I just got the trijicon HD Orange. i need to take them to the range to try them out.
Walter the big dots are unique in the fact that it's basically point and shoot because the dot is very large I wouldn't exactly say it's the most Marksman type site but it'll do the job basically just run the dot over what you're pointing at and it's going to hit the target I think they're am excellent self-defense site one of these days I'm going to try the standard size. To see if it makes a difference
Okay, thanks for your quick reply.
Hihi, first come the sights and the gun comes after 😊👍
Fantastic video. Are you using a sight tool pusher or carefully using a brass punch for your sight swaps?
+Bobby Danger brass and polymer ...some are easier than others
Thank you sir. I'm a new subscriber and really digging your channel.
Trijicon Hd's all day baby! Or in this case all night too!
+chipotlelover82 I like them but to save money I think Ameriglo is just as good
Can you tell me the difference between your 26.99 and 46.99 hoodies I'm assuming ones heavyweight but just curious?
Yes sir you got it
very nice!
Great vid im a fan of the Big Dots. Have you got your Phantom Yet?
+Youngguns173SW nope 8 weeks
where did you get the blue apex trigger???!
Link to night sights for the p01 and holster you use
They're all good but I prefer the trijicon HD
Thanks great information!
+Craig Fatla thanks for watching
Great Video, can you tell us what are the grips on the czp07?
lok grips
Thanks. I'm shopping for some for my new Glock 19 gen 4. :)
+Lil'Yeshua ameriglo are awesome
Great review and options
+treesablowin thanks my friend
I'd vote Ameriglo as well. Good stuff 1776!
Did I hear you say “once the judge gets off his lazy butt and does something I will get my gun”??? Where in the heck do you live?
warren tactical sevigny 2 dot sights. they beat my friends truglo tfx pros. trijicon hd xr is better than simple hd as well.
Have you ever tried Sea All Open sights?
I have actually contacted them on several occasions trying to get a test and evaluation set from them but it I have not had any success
Say I can’t find big dot for my PPQ how to find it so I can order it?

Please send me the link to that night fision sight
ua-cam.com/video/3JSejHrhWrw/v-deo.html they're built very well but I don't think the front window is large enough so the front gets taken over by the rear
DID UA-cam SILENCE YOUR VIDEO; I'VE HAD SEVERAL GOOD-TITLED VIDEOS RECENTLY BUT NONE HAVE ANY AUDIO!!!! WHAT GIVES!!!!
Check out Night Fision sights
did a video on them
TFX front sight is too high for me
#TeamTrijicon
The mag release on your Glock *completely ruins* that otherwise beautiful coating
I didn't see it until I said something ...
Slightly less in money?
Ummm meaning cheaper
@@1776orbust slightly more in confused grammar?
1st!
+1 for hacks
+Saltwater Shooter agreed hacks are great
