I was dead set on the trijis till the past few days researching the truglo pros. The truglos are available in orange as well so it’s a no brainer. Great vid
All my EDC guns have Truglo TFX Pro sights. I got mine on Amazon for $105 ea. I like the combination of tritium and fiber optic. Originally I bought one set, but was so impressed I ordered 3 more sets within days of buying the first set. 1). Kimber Ultra Carry 2 SS .45. 2) Kimber Ultra Carry 2 9mm. 3). SIG Sauer P938 SAS 9mm. 4). Springfield XDs Mod 2 45acp. Truglo makes them for many Brands.
Thanks. This video sealed it for me. My M&P Compact came with factory Trijicon sights and I love them. My new Taurus 709 Slim is in the market for Night Sights and I've pretty much decided on Truglo Tritium Pros.
I actually love how the front is white on that truglow sight. The sight is exactly what I am looking for, it's slick, low and cheaper, WHITE (& better overall imo). I couldn't find a white front with the style I wanted to go with my vp9sk (blk/white custom painted) until I came across these. Win/Win imo, thanks for the comparison too, great video!
If you're running a red dot in front of the rear sight, the extra hight of the trijicons make it easier to co witness while zeroing the dot or if the battery dies etc... but not worth twice the price. The Truglo pros are awesome. Excellent sight picture day or night. I also actually prefer the white front sight dot to the red. Recently put em on my M&P .40 and couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend.
@@hopefulvoyage - Dong V is saying it it much easier to co-witness with the trigicon sights because they sit higher but The truglo's are normal height iron sights and can be paired with a well seated red dot with low/ true installment. For example the RomeoZero rmr red dote from sig. Not difficult since the sig Romeo rmr cam to market. But it was a thing for a while. Now low profile is the way to go. Easy! I hope that helped you to understand. If you can think it we can build it; in gun world all creations are possiable.
You are absolutely correct. I have The HDs on my shield and a set of truglo pros on my 226. The HDs are great but I paid $140 for them installed and $80 installed for the pros. Both are outstanding but at almost half the cost, the truglos are the way to go. One last point though, I am not a fan of the tritium/fiberoptic sights, so I was unaware of the pros initially and wish I went with the pros from he beginning.
Excellent review! I’m getting the TruGlo Tritium PRO for my S&W M&P M2.0 this week Your video just helped to SEAL the deal before going back to the dealer for them
I have these Truglos on my PPQ, massive improvement. I love the ledge on the rear sight body. I'm planning on getting some for the VP9 Tact next, I just have so many projects.
Thanks for the great review, I just recently purchased a pair of sights for my two handguns. I had ordered Trijicon HD XRs for my Glock 19 and wanted to get another set of sights for my shield 2.0. I was going to try to stomach buying another set of Trijicon HD XRs until I saw this review. I'm super glad I did because I hadn't heard of the Truglo Pros. This video helped save me $80 lol
I love the high visibility front posts in both. I honestly believe orange/white/green is personal preference. I ordered Trijicon HDs a few years ago from MidwayUSA (not to knock them or anything), but they sent me a nice pair of $145 fake sights, sent back without any issues, but still, kind of disappointing. Good comparison, I do like that slight angle you mentioned on the truglo. I think it'll have to hit up the Truglos on the next build. UGH, that front post lift off from the Trijicon's, c'mon guys, do better. I also like set screws, I wish they used 2 screws instead of 1 like in Heinie's set up, but I don't think that matters either way. Always great content, can't wait for the next vid!
do the truglo's affect HK point of impact? P-30 factory sights give "combat" style POI where impact is behind the actual dot vs on top of front sight like a Glock
I have the HDs on my Glock 26 and 30s. Just put the Truglo Tritium Pros on my G17 this evening. For the price difference, the Truglos are a no-brainer. Great sight picture.
this video was a big help, thanks. looking for sights for my new PPQ and so many reviews are talking and shooting but only a few actually show the sight picture.
Just the video I needed to see. Great comparison between the two sights. I've have the trijicon HDs on a Sig. Been comparing the two for a new pistol and this video just made up my mind. Truglo. Thanks again for the great video.
Awesome review. I installed the Trijicon’s on my G19 and I love it but I hate to wear it. Had to get a new holster to work around it. So when I get my G17 or full-size VP9, I’m going to put the Trijicon’s on those and get the TruGlo’s for my G19. Keep up the awesome videos!
Excellent! My favorites are Ameriglo I-Dot Pros but the TruGlo Tritium Pros are a very close second. As long as those two sights are available I will continue to install them on my guns. Thank you for the words, appreciate that.
I own both sights and love them both. People who say you don't need night sights are wrong. I can pick up my sight much faster. These could save your life in any light condition. But a huge advantage at night
I looked around, watched a number of vids and forums, and of course what others and I have had previously and for my new PPQ duty gun I went with tritium PROS. Seems the the most diverse set around right now.
Great review and insight on these sights sir! Your review caused me to buy a set of Tritium Pro's on my new PPS M2 and have Yellow Trijicon HD on my Sig P229. I like the Truglo better! $62 at Buds Guns. The front vial is bigger and brighter than the rear and that helps alot.Just the oppisite on the HD.Only thing about the HD that is better is the inclined steps on the rear sight is better at subduing glare while truglo has some glare off the rear sight face. Because I am color blind the yellow seems to stand out more than red or orange which is why i like the HD more than the white on the truglo. Very similar sight picture on both, and its great day or night! HD is also much taller and sharper as you pointed out.i think I would go with the truglo if I did it again!
Yeah your right. Theyre 80 bucks for what i need hds would cost me 140 bucks. If i got hds id need to custom order or home make a holster because most what ive found wont fit them. The white during day doesnt bother me at all. Even during a bright day it stands out well against 99% of everything. The dot ratio is much better. The only reason i didnt go with tfx pros is that the back sights are too big and bright that they draw your attention from the front. Im not extra "tactical" but the angled rear sight is another thing to like about these. Having a fairly dull rear sight is EXTREMELY important on the glock im getting because if youve ever taken the slide off one then you know how annoying a sharp edged sight would be.
Great comparison. More expensive doesn’t always mean better. Case in point look at Yeti products, you can buy the same damn thing without the Yeti name on it and save 75%. I know it’s apples to oranges here but you get my point. I have TruGlo’s on my XDS and love them.
Absolutely! I saw the tumbler ice test between Yeti, Ozark Trail (Walmart) and another brand. Ozark trail held ice the longest out of the three. The TruGlos are great sights.
I could not Agree with you more. I notice faster and better sight picture preformance out of the tritium night sights. Also I feel like the bore axes alignment is more true to point of impact. Once at and past the 7 yard line. Lastly low light or complete dark. excellent!. Enough said -Thanks for the details in comparison.
I run ameriglo on my Glock 19 suppressor heights due to my RMR. It’s holding up very well. I also have an M&P 2.0 in which I have the Trijicon HD XR. Simply amazing. If I’m running iron sights I’m going Trijicon HD XR($125) off amazon. If it’s suppressor sights, I’m going ameriglo
Do you think your Glock 43x shoots accurate? I love mine.. I dont think it is that accurate of a gun.. Got several glocks that are very accurate. But ..In CC probably be shooting in 15 ' or under I guess.
Replying to a comment on here technology is always improving and just because something has been around for ever doesn't mean another company can't exceed their quality and do it for less...look at Glock still priced too much for what you get ,good gun yes? is everyone else improving for less cost look around just because it cost more doesn't make it the best. Good video
Im definetly leaning towards the tritium pros, it has a lower profile to them, the white dot doesnt bug me and they are cheap then the trijicon hd xr's... i will be putting these on my G42 and VP9 thanks much!!!!
Truglo pro shooting at target bull's-eye is more easy now I get a good group in center target now and my aim is a lot better these are wonderful sight love it I recommend this sight to anyone and I mean everyone
I've got some truglo sights that have been on my pistol since the year 2000. I punctured the front sight while cleaning it and it doesn't glow. The rear sights are smaller and glow fainter than brand new but are still visible during very low light.
There just not any longer the best truglow tfx extreme and tfx pro far exceeds anything trijicon has pulled off lately. You hff ave to evolve be subjective to change or you will become extinct
Great review! I've been up in the air regarding which sights to get. I had pretty much decided on the Truglos because they are supposed to be sealed so that cleaning fluids & solvents will not harm the white ring or circle. That being said I've read some comments that the Truglos are not as bright at night as others. But then again the durability issue with the white ring "washing off" with solvents or ckeaners. Have you studied that side of the sights out there? Thanks much, Jim
Thank you! The lack of brightness is just another an Internet lie. As I said in the review, the front tritium vial is larger than the back ones making it easy to distinguish the front from the back. The HDs aren't like that. I ended up installing the Truglos on my full size VP9 yesterday and removed the Trijicon HDs. Exceptional visibility, the finish quality is better and more durable the the HDs, the tritium lasts one year longer but they cost half as much. I've had no issues with cleaners hurting them at all. I can't say enough about these sights especially for the money.
Good review. I was looking for sights that are taller so I can pick up the sight picture better, IYO do you find that the Truglo Tritium Pro sights to be tall enough? Love the Truglo profile, price, et al. Will be installing these on a Ruger SR9c. Thanks
For me they are great but I prefer a lower sight. They snag less and my eye is looking more down the top of the slide. They are a great sight and even better for the price.
Thanx for the review and the heads up on how to save some money and still get a great product. Also what do you think of the block on the California Magazine capacity law by the federal judge? Do you feel that maybe california will start getting back some of our 2nd Amendment rights or just some false hopes for us pro2nd Amendment citizens? Thanx!
Thanks for the great comparison video. I have an unrelated question. Are the 2 slides (VP9 vs VP9SK) exactly the same (width, height) except for the length of the VP9 slide being longer in the front? ie the rear section behind the ejection port is identical? I'm considering having my VP9SK slide milled for optics but many mill shops will only work on VP9's. Thank you.
color is subjective. i personally feel more confident with green; and thus, i often find i perform better when i use a firearm with green sights. again; subjective, if you have confidence in something then better for you because you need to have confidence in your equipment.
Great video. Thanks for posting. I cannot seem to find Truglo Tritium Pro sights for VP9; their site doesn't list the VP9 as an option. Did you use the option for H&K's P30 instead? Thanks!
@@PoeOutdoors Thank you. I figured that had to be the case. And I appreciate you taking the time to write back. Are you still using the Truglo Tritium Pro on the VP9?
Frank Lee Morris I mention in the video the Truglos would be my pick. The white is just as fast on target as the neon orange or green. With the much lower cost and better finish they are better sights to me.
Thanks for the great review! Just ordered set of the truglos :) do you know if they make any tritium pro for cz’s too? The 75b and 75 pcr compact both need some new sights desperately! Familiar with any other options by chance?
Thank you, they are great sights. Unfortunately I don't have an answer on the CZ question. The options are pretty limited right now on the Truglo website. Maybe shoot them an email requesting the guns you want to see?
Have the HDs(yellow) on a few Glocks and those sharp corners do a number on my elbow and forearm when carrying under a thin shirt. Design would be perfect for me if the corners were beveled. Might give the the Truglos a look.
Orange and green are fine for day shooting, but as the sun goes down a white dot stands out the best hands down. A white ring around tritium should be on the front of your defense pistol.
@@PoeOutdoors it would be typed or stamped on the side of the sight. Might be on the packaging it came in. I heard a bunch of hear say that they don't last as long as the trijicon and was trying to find out if it's due to the mfg date instead of longevity. I like them and wanted to get a set! Thanks
These TruGlos were pretty new to market at the time I did the video, wasn't anything available on longivity then. They're great sights and cost 1/2 the money as Trijicons. If they lasted 2 or even 3 years years less it's still a better deal.
Red October Im not sure what you're asking but I will try to answer. My VP9sk came with the luminescent sights since I planned to add Trijicon HDs anyway. Finding something with no sharp edges, 1/2 the price and a year longer tritium life squashed the HD plan.
Red October Gotcha. I'm not sure about a distance advantage but I am a fan of sights with a minimally visible rear sight in daylight. These fit my needs well.
Ameriglo I-Dot Pros are my #1 choice over anything else but the TruGlos are great especially for the money. The Night Fision sights look good too and are getting quite a bit of attention. I love the choices available now, great for gun owners!
I can only speak for my self, but, for me white sights take much longer to get in a site picture than orange, and I find yellow to be better.especially in bright day light.
Yeah, you're right about them not making sites for many pistols. Well, that's because all these accessories companies think that Glock ( Not knocking Glock so chill out fan boys ) is the only gun made. So that tells you these companies don't really care for anybody or anything besides their bottom dollar.
Pete Orta My #1 choice is the Ameriglo I-Dot Pro but they aren't available for every pistol. The TruGlos are right there for me and available for more guns. Great sights at a great price.
Poe Performance I have a Glock 18 and was about to order. I’m on Amazon reading reviews right now. I looks like the rear dots are bigger than the front dot at night. Is this true?
Pete Orta I've owned 3 sets of TruGlo Tritium Pros and all of them had a larger front tritium vial than the rear. I believe I mention that in the video somewhere.
Vp9 are good looking handguns but that backplate area I never could get past that I just do not like it kinda high bore as well then the guns size compared to overall capacity of them. Terrible 10 rounds I believe when I had my vp9 sk le and its litterly a glock 19 sized gun nearly and that's 10 rounds compared to 15. I can't see owning it for that alone too many better options with much higher capacity
HK is stingy with capacity no doubt. A lot goes into my decision when it comes to a carry gun. Capacity is just one of the factors and isn't at the top of my list. A handgun that holds 15, 17 or 21 rounds is worthless to someone who can't shoot it well. We all have to develop a criteria for choosing what we carry and will vary depending on the individual.
Are you still very happy with the Tru Glos? Not to many people are talking about them. Is everyone still on the trijicon bandwagon. Honestly the HD thing bothers me on the height and for ccw the sharp edges. $70 is what the price should be
I was dead set on the trijis till the past few days researching the truglo pros. The truglos are available in orange as well so it’s a no brainer. Great vid
Lights out brother... Would be great to see side by side in the dark.
Thanks
Instablaster.
All my EDC guns have Truglo TFX Pro sights. I got mine on Amazon for $105 ea. I like the combination of tritium and fiber optic. Originally I bought one set, but was so impressed I ordered 3 more sets within days of buying the first set. 1). Kimber Ultra Carry 2 SS .45. 2) Kimber Ultra Carry 2 9mm. 3). SIG Sauer P938 SAS 9mm. 4). Springfield XDs Mod 2 45acp. Truglo makes them for many Brands.
Thanks. This video sealed it for me.
My M&P Compact came with factory Trijicon sights and I love them.
My new Taurus 709 Slim is in the market for Night Sights and I've pretty much decided on Truglo Tritium Pros.
I actually love how the front is white on that truglow sight. The sight is exactly what I am looking for, it's slick, low and cheaper, WHITE (& better overall imo). I couldn't find a white front with the style I wanted to go with my vp9sk (blk/white custom painted) until I came across these. Win/Win imo, thanks for the comparison too, great video!

So, are you saying it is impossible or exceedingly more difficult to co-witness with a Tru Glow and a red dot versus the Trijicon and a red dot?
@@hopefulvoyage - Dong V is saying it it much easier to co-witness with the trigicon sights because they sit higher but The truglo's are normal height iron sights and can be paired with a well seated red dot with low/ true installment.

I hope that helped you to understand. If you can think it we can build it; in gun world all creations are possiable.
You can now buy truglo pros that are meant for RMOs. Meaning they make taller versions so you can use with red dots. Truglos win again.
You are absolutely correct. I have The HDs on my shield and a set of truglo pros on my 226. The HDs are great but I paid $140 for them installed and $80 installed for the pros. Both are outstanding but at almost half the cost, the truglos are the way to go. One last point though, I am not a fan of the tritium/fiberoptic sights, so I was unaware of the pros initially and wish I went with the pros from he beginning.
For most average applications the truglo are definitely the way to go. Have both and actually prefer the truglo
I went with the trijicon bright and tough for my glock 23. They work great for me. $101 after taxes. Had them since last November. I'm pleased.
Excellent review!
I’m getting the TruGlo Tritium PRO for my S&W M&P M2.0 this week
Your video just helped to SEAL the deal before going back to the dealer for them
Great choice! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
I have these Truglos on my PPQ, massive improvement. I love the ledge on the rear sight body. I'm planning on getting some for the VP9 Tact next, I just have so many projects.

Thanks for the review! Ordered Truglo sights for my PPQ M2. $62 on amazon!
Just picked up a Glock 43x & 48 and thise video sealed it for me. Gonna run the white dot. I think I like that better!
Thank you sir, I will be putting these on my H&K VP9. I will also be buyin mine from Buds Gun shop. Very helpful!
Thanks for the review! Been comparing these 2 sights for my HK P30 and your review helped finalize my decision.
SgtSABE No problem, thank you for watching.
do the truglo's affect HK point of impact? P-30 factory sights give "combat" style POI where impact is behind the actual dot vs on top of front sight like a Glock
SgtSABE My VP9 and VP9sk POA/POI we're perfect with them.
Poe Performance did you have to remove any metal or file bottom of sights to install?
I have the HDs on my Glock 26 and 30s. Just put the Truglo Tritium Pros on my G17 this evening. For the price difference, the Truglos are a no-brainer. Great sight picture.
this video was a big help, thanks. looking for sights for my new PPQ and so many reviews are talking and shooting but only a few actually show the sight picture.
If you are even remotely color-blind, the white dot is definitely the way to go!
I run TRUGLO sights on all my handguns.
Do these sights fit the Taurus G2C
red colorblind here, finding greendot sights has been a nightmare
Just the video I needed to see. Great comparison between the two sights. I've have the trijicon HDs on a Sig. Been comparing the two for a new pistol and this video just made up my mind. Truglo. Thanks again for the great video.

Thank you for the words, appreciate that.
Truglo it is then. I was trying to decide between these two, and I’m glad to see justification for the less expensive set.
the Truglo Tritium Pro now offers an orange tritium front sight, which I have two of and love them
I own both sights and love them both. People who say you don't need night sights are wrong. I can pick up my sight much faster. These could save your life in any light condition. But a huge advantage at night

*Me watching this in 2020*
"$169? Wow, that's like 50 rounds of 9mm ammo!"
Haha! Truth!
@@PoeOutdoors Thanks for the review, by the way. Ended up going with the TruGlo and I am very happy with them.
9mm is $45.00 a box of 50 rounds.
I got some when I picked up my Glock 19 100 round for 69$
Yeah your right. Theyre 80 bucks for what i need hds would cost me 140 bucks. If i got hds id need to custom order or home make a holster because most what ive found wont fit them. The white during day doesnt bother me at all. Even during a bright day it stands out well against 99% of everything. The dot ratio is much better. The only reason i didnt go with tfx pros is that the back sights are too big and bright that they draw your attention from the front. Im not extra "tactical" but the angled rear sight is another thing to like about these. Having a fairly dull rear sight is EXTREMELY important on the glock im getting because if youve ever taken the slide off one then you know how annoying a sharp edged sight would be.
Nailed this review! Own both sets myself and I agree with the razor sharp edges on the HDs, totally unacceptable.
Thank you, hopefully they soften up those edges because the sights work well for me.
Looked for tru glo amd night fision for p10c, but couldn't find them anywhere
I like both! Good Stuff, carry on!
I am a fan of Truglo Tritium Pro sights and have them on several of my guns. in fact I am installing them on one more (a Gen 4 Glock 20).

I run ameriglo on my Glock 19 suppressor heights due to my RMR. It’s holding up very well. I also have an M&P 2.0 in which I have the Trijicon HD XR. Simply amazing. If I’m running iron sights I’m going Trijicon HD XR($125) off amazon. If it’s suppressor sights, I’m going ameriglo
Wish he had turned off the lights so we could see how they perform in the dark
Night sights never do well on camera, it’s worthless to attempt to show them.
Trijicon HD XR’s are my choice. Thin front sight gives a good halfway point between a defensive sight and a competition sight
Yeah I just installed them on my glock 17 today and they’re awesome
Very nice comparison. I was in the market for one or the other for my Glock 43x
Do you think your Glock 43x shoots accurate? I love mine.. I dont think it is that accurate of a gun.. Got several glocks that are very accurate. But ..In CC probably be shooting in 15 ' or under I guess.

Jeffery Mitchell They are great sights!
Got to find out if the Tritium Pros will fit on my new PCR or not.
Great comparison man. The TruGlo's will be next for me.
Well done. Very objective comparison.
Can you do a video on shaving the sights ?
I've cut my hand on PPQ trijicon HD rear sight. True story. Also, the HDs are high. So you'll be shooting about 2 to 3 inches high at 25.
I just ordered truglows for taurus G3 on eday for 60
Well put my friend!
My understanding is the newest version of the Truglo comes with an orange ring from site, so that should solve your main problem
I like the white dot, no problem for me there.
I used trijicon sights for years have a few older than 12 years and still glo , i stick with the best.

I ended up installing the Truglos on my full size VP9 yesterday and removed the Trijicon HDs. Exceptional visibility, the finish quality is better and more durable the the HDs, the tritium lasts one year longer but they cost half as much. I've had no issues with cleaners hurting them at all. I can't say enough about these sights especially for the money.
Good review. I was looking for sights that are taller so I can pick up the sight picture better, IYO do you find that the Truglo Tritium Pro sights to be tall enough? Love the Truglo profile, price, et al. Will be installing these on a Ruger SR9c. Thanks
For me they are great but I prefer a lower sight. They snag less and my eye is looking more down the top of the slide. They are a great sight and even better for the price.
It doesn't look like the orange is brighter, but the orange dot looks bigger! Is it?
Same size.
@@PoeOutdoors Thanks
Thanx for the review and the heads up on how to save some money and still get a great product. Also what do you think of the block on the California Magazine capacity law by the federal judge? Do you feel that maybe california will start getting back some of our 2nd Amendment rights or just some false hopes for us pro2nd Amendment citizens? Thanx!
Got me some true glows for my Glock 20 SF gen 3.
I've got some of both, and I agree.
Thanks for the video.
Are the Trij's supressor ready? Is that why they're so high?
David Hain No sir.
Thanks for the great comparison video. I have an unrelated question. Are the 2 slides (VP9 vs VP9SK) exactly the same (width, height) except for the length of the VP9 slide being longer in the front? ie the rear section behind the ejection port is identical? I'm considering having my VP9SK slide milled for optics but many mill shops will only work on VP9's. Thank you.
Yep, they are dimensionally identical except for the slide length.
color is subjective. i personally feel more confident with green; and thus, i often find i perform better when i use a firearm with green sights. again; subjective, if you have confidence in something then better for you because you need to have confidence in your equipment.
I read a review that the front sight in the Truglo is higher so it makes the gun shoot low. Anybody have any experience with this?
I've never had a POA/POI problem with them personally, not sure about anyone else. Different sights on different guns will require different POA.
Yes, they shot low on my P01.
Great video. Thanks for posting. I cannot seem to find Truglo Tritium Pro sights for VP9; their site doesn't list the VP9 as an option. Did you use the option for H&K's P30 instead?
Thanks!
Thank you. P30, 45c and VP9 sights are interchangable. 👍
@@PoeOutdoors Thank you. I figured that had to be the case. And I appreciate you taking the time to write back.
Are you still using the Truglo Tritium Pro on the VP9?
I sold the VP9 with those sights on it, they were still going strong.
@@PoeOutdoors thank you for the video, the information, and for your time.
Please update the title to say "Truglo Tritium Pro vs. Trijicon HD" since in the video you have them in that order.
That's funny, made me laugh. Thanks!
what about block 17? do u prefer white in compair to the red luminescent?
Frank Lee Morris I mention in the video the Truglos would be my pick. The white is just as fast on target as the neon orange or green. With the much lower cost and better finish they are better sights to me.
are u sponsored by truglo?
Frank Lee Morris No sir.
Thanks for the great review! Just ordered set of the truglos :) do you know if they make any tritium pro for cz’s too? The 75b and 75 pcr compact both need some new sights desperately! Familiar with any other options by chance?
Thank you, they are great sights. Unfortunately I don't have an answer on the CZ question. The options are pretty limited right now on the Truglo website. Maybe shoot them an email requesting the guns you want to see?
Have the HDs(yellow) on a few Glocks and those sharp corners do a number on my elbow and forearm when carrying under a thin shirt. Design would be perfect for me if the corners were beveled. Might give the the Truglos a look.
Orange and green are fine for day shooting, but as the sun goes down a white dot stands out the best hands down. A white ring around tritium should be on the front of your defense pistol.
The "best" sight color will vary depending on many factors.
What grit sand paper did you use on the Trijicons? I've has the same issue with all my shirt getting shredded.
I.d go 3000 grit automotive sand paper
What about Trijicon H&K HD XR? Anyone has tried the XR and any thoughts?
Can they be put onto a S&W 357 and a Ruger sp101 357?
Thomas Zeberlein The Ameriglo website will have that information.
How is the intensity with the trijicon vs. the truglo in the dark?
Both are good in that regard, I wouldn't give either an advantage.
Thats for the vid... Great review
I can buy the trijicon hds for $120 but I just bought the truglo pros for $50 so that's a big difference in price.
Do the truglo sights have the tritium date on them?
Date of manufacture? I would assume they do but never looked for it myself.
@@PoeOutdoors it would be typed or stamped on the side of the sight. Might be on the packaging it came in. I heard a bunch of hear say that they don't last as long as the trijicon and was trying to find out if it's due to the mfg date instead of longevity. I like them and wanted to get a set! Thanks
These TruGlos were pretty new to market at the time I did the video, wasn't anything available on longivity then. They're great sights and cost 1/2 the money as Trijicons. If they lasted 2 or even 3 years years less it's still a better deal.
So the main advantage is long range vs the factory LE sights?
Red October Im not sure what you're asking but I will try to answer. My VP9sk came with the luminescent sights since I planned to add Trijicon HDs anyway. Finding something with no sharp edges, 1/2 the price and a year longer tritium life squashed the HD plan.
Poe Performance just trying to figure out if the LE night sights fall short of anything
Red October Gotcha. I'm not sure about a distance advantage but I am a fan of sights with a minimally visible rear sight in daylight. These fit my needs well.
where do u get ammo for good deal I'm needing 9mm and 45 acp
tony archuleta th-cam.com/video/da2Eu8mcz54/w-d-xo.html
I mean, Trijicon literally has the word con in it, because the sights are too high and stuff.
Do you prefer the TruGlow over the Ameriglo iDots?
Ameriglo I-Dot Pros are my #1 choice over anything else but the TruGlos are great especially for the money. The Night Fision sights look good too and are getting quite a bit of attention. I love the choices available now, great for gun owners!
I can only speak for my self, but, for me white sights take much longer to get in a site picture than orange, and I find yellow to be better.especially in bright day light.
So at night or low light,which stand out better? Yellow or orange?
What about the tfx pro ? Was looking to get a set of them for my 2.0 compact any input on them ?
I don't have any experience with them honestly.
How much was 500 rounds back then 😂
About $75 - those days are long gone!
Truglo makes them in orange now.
I'm confused here. Which one is the tritium night sights and which are the fiber optic one? Thanks
There are no fiber optic sights in this video.
Yeah, you're right about them not making sites for many pistols. Well, that's because all these accessories companies think that Glock ( Not knocking Glock so chill out fan boys ) is the only gun made. So that tells you these companies don't really care for anybody or anything besides their bottom dollar.
Is that like 98.6% of companies though??? That's the point of being in _business_
Truglo all day long
So, they’re great for night but are they any good for day shoots?
irgski Excellent during the day and night.
I’m going to try them! Heck, you don’t even need any dots during the day, just line up those iron sights and rely on your grip and form.
Pete Orta My #1 choice is the Ameriglo I-Dot Pro but they aren't available for every pistol. The TruGlos are right there for me and available for more guns. Great sights at a great price.
Poe Performance I have a Glock 18 and was about to order. I’m on Amazon reading reviews right now. I looks like the rear dots are bigger than the front dot at night. Is this true?
Pete Orta I've owned 3 sets of TruGlo Tritium Pros and all of them had a larger front tritium vial than the rear. I believe I mention that in the video somewhere.
Vp9 are good looking handguns but that backplate area I never could get past that I just do not like it kinda high bore as well then the guns size compared to overall capacity of them. Terrible 10 rounds I believe when I had my vp9 sk le and its litterly a glock 19 sized gun nearly and that's 10 rounds compared to 15. I can't see owning it for that alone too many better options with much higher capacity
HK is stingy with capacity no doubt. A lot goes into my decision when it comes to a carry gun. Capacity is just one of the factors and isn't at the top of my list. A handgun that holds 15, 17 or 21 rounds is worthless to someone who can't shoot it well. We all have to develop a criteria for choosing what we carry and will vary depending on the individual.
Only down side, they don't say trijicon on the side 🤷🏼♂️
TRUGLO TFO rock
Are you still very happy with the Tru Glos? Not to many people are talking about them. Is everyone still on the trijicon bandwagon. Honestly the HD thing bothers me on the height and for ccw the sharp edges. $70 is what the price should be
Absolutely! I love the sights, they stay bright and are so easy to pick up. I agree on the price point, no need for HDs to be $130-$150.
👍
Hiviz!!!! Better and cheaper.
