I will be purchasing P320 full. But have a choice between model with and without Night sights. Price difference is about 90$. On one hand I can get night sight pre-installed (and sig approved) for total of that amount extra. On the other hand I can get something like truglo which may cost only about a few dollars more after install. Or I can even go with TFO model (tritium + fiber).

My main question is are sig tritium sights known to be quality. Would you recommend that I just go with their offering?
 
Tritium is Tritium. They all work the same. Only difference is if you want a white outline or if you want a Truglo Combo with Fiber optic

There is also difference in quality, Are Sig factory sights known to be of good/better quality compare to aftermarket?
 
IIRC, Sig's factory night sights, as well as several others, are manufactured by Meprolite. I've never noticed a difference in quality or brightness between any of my NS, regardless if made by Mepro, Trijicon, or Ameriglo.

If it's only a few dollars more and you are looking at the Tru Glo variants, you may as well go all out and get the TFX Pro model for it. That is, provided you like a contrast between the front and rear (I've actually got a set of these coming to mount on my Glock 23).

SIG's night sights are solid. I've never had or seen any issues relative to any dedicated aftermarket vendor.

As for the Truglo TFOs. I've had them and still have them in a box. They're not bad, but because of how closed in the fiber optic is on them I find they don't work nearly as well as a true fiber optic sight because the vials being less exposed don't capture as much light. I haven't noticed any difference in glow in terms of the Tritium vial, however.
 
Sig light night sights are pretty damn good. I love them, glow real well with a decent white outline.

That being said, I do prefer the truglo tritium sights for one primary reason: They are more quickly acquired in high light conditions. I can acquire my truglo TFO sights in daylight easier than the siglight night sights, and the TFO still glow in the dark.

This is just my personal experience though, and my preferences, the siglight night sights are great, not trying to diminish their usefulness at all.
 
My wife has two Sigs (225A1 and P938) both with factory night sights. They're very good night sights. As far as the Truglo TFX Pro tritium/fiber optic combo sights, I put a pair on my CZ75b. GREAT sights outdoors where there's plenty of sunlight and very good night sights. However indoors they're just so-so. I shoot a lot of indoor IDPA matches. Even in a well lit indoor range the fiber optic part of the sight doesn't gather enough light to show up very well and the front sight orange ring isn't that easy for my eyes to pick up. I removed the Truglo sights, reinstalled the factory sights, painted the rear dots white and the front sight dot florescent orange. Works great for me.

Theoretically, at least, this combination makes the most sense-tritium has a shelf life (but doesn't need exposure to light to be visible); fiber lasts almost indefinitely (but needs prior, repeated exposures to light to work). The combination of the two would seem to cover all bases as much as practical.
 
All of the factory Sig night sights I've seen in shops have been good. I feel the dots are a little small imo, maybe its just me.

I used to put night sights on all of my pistols, but they never really did anything normal sights did for me(mostly use fiber optics now). If its that dark where you need to make out your sights in the dark, chances are you cant identify what you're aiming at. Carry a small flashlight instead. Guns have been making targets deader than dead long before tritium came riding along.
