Are Trijicon & Meprolight equal?

Hi,

My P7M8 is going back to the factory.

HK will install the Meprolight night sights.

Should I hold out for the Trijicon's?

Thanks,

Dave
 
I've shot Trijicons and own two sets of Meprolights. I can't tell any practical difference between them. The dots on the Triji's seemed a little smaller to me, but that was on a Beretta and I usually shoot Mepros on a Glock (might be apples and oranges).
 
I think the above two posts are the most clear example of the issue of a member asking a question hopping to get an optimal answer...
 
Thanks guys,

Can someone give me some specifics as to why one's better than the other?

Both have the white painted circle for day use (from what I understand).

I know the P7's recoil will knock some sights out. Has that been an issue with either of these brands?

Thanks,

Dave
 
What are meprolights? do they have a web-site or any way of me seeing their products?

i personally like Heinie strait 8 slant pro's. i don't have them yet but will probably soon. i like the configuration intead of 3 dot.
 
I used to use Mepros, they have a superior day application than do the Trij, but I have become an Ashley convert and don't forsee going back. The Mepro have a larger outline giving a better site picture in day light.

Dont know if this will help or further serve to cloud....but.

Trijicons have their white circle "painted on" and the paint can be disolved by common gun solvents...many people use white out to "re-paint" on the white "daylight" circles back on.

Mepro nightsight is surround bya white plastic tube, which is impervious to the solvent problem experienced with Trijicon.

SDnR ;)
 
I'll have HK put on the Meprolights. Thanks for the input.

As far as finding Meprolight on the web...just do a search and you'll find some resellers with a little info. I couldn't find much...that's why I posted.

Another vote for Meps!

Meprolights are manufactured by Hesco. Hesco does have a website, but I don't know what it is. You might want to do a search.

FWIW, the cheapest I've seen them on the web (Trijicons as well) is at:
www.championfirearms.com
 
do meprolights come in any other configurations besides 3 dot?

i like heinie strait 8's because of the 2 dot configuration.

does anyone know how good heinies are during the day? are they bright enough?
