I've been shooting a ghost ring and tru-glo fiber optic front sight for about 2 years now on my carry gun, a Glock 19. I like it a lot better than the stock sights, but I value my Glock as a carry gun and I'm seriously considering nite sites now. Since it took me six months or careful contemplating to decide on a carry gun, I'm in the same dillema with the nite sites. I figue you guys can answer some questions for me. Please correct any of my wrong assumptions.
(1) Trijicons seem to be top of the line, with Meprolites being a close second. Both are Tritium. Glockmeister says the Meps' tritium is contained in a glass tube with a white circle painted on, and nothing about the make of Trijicons. I have heard elsewhere that the white circle on Meps is plastic, which won't wear off. Glockmeister is currently selling the Meps for 65$. I've heard people say they hate Meps, but haven't given a specific reason. What's the big difference between the two, and are the white circles on Meps paint or plastic? The way a sight looks in the daytime is important to me too (my eyes aren't that good), but I don't like paint. If the Meps are cheaper, crisper in daylight, and just as good at night I'll buy a set.
(2) I've heard of PT sites, Trilux, and Heines on the web, but I've never seen any info on them. What can you fellas tell me about these sights? Good or bad points, price?
thanks for all the help!
