G43 CCW Sights

Post by HEYOPEY » Fri Aug 26, 2016 5:53 pm

I'm about to put a set of sights on my CCW G43 having a hard time picking between the Trijicon HD (Orange Front), XS Big Dots, or the Vickers Tactical (Tritium Front) What do you guys run on your CCW?

I run Trijicon green nightsights. I find them easier to acquire in low light. The orange front sight washes out real bad as you get older.

The big dot and straight 8 sights are just counter to my lifetime of training.

Trijicon would be my pic.
That's what I'm looking at for one of my CCW's.

I pick one of his choices and explained that old eyes have trouble with the orange front dot.

The others he mentioned I don't care for and explained why.

So there, nyah.

All of my edc guns get trijicon night sights. I find it comforting in the night when I am awakened by a strange noise to see those bright green dots on the dresser. But to be objective, I haven't had experience with the others you mentioned.

I ran big dots for a long time. The trij hd are not any slower. The blacked out rear except for tritium makes for the best balance between night sights and fast day sights

I have 4 sets of trijicons, I like them fine. Now that I'm older and sight is not as good as it once was, the easiest and quickest to acquire are my truglow tfo's, I run them on my g17 rtf2, definitely helps me at idpa. The next time i buy tfo's or any night sight, I will go with green rears and yellow front.

Watching this thread. My 43's need sights bad. Leaning towards trij hds but 10-8's are a close second. Might get both and compare ;)
