glockmeister71 http://xssights.com/store/handgun.htmlI have the XS Sights Standard Dots on my Glock 21,have the Big Dot front on my 870HD,and had a set of Big Dots on a Glock 27.I like them alot.The "dot the i" works for me alot better than the 3-dot system.They're real fast and easy to pick up.I know they're higher than most,but they're worth it.If it's going to be mainly a carry or home defense gun and won't see much time at the range,I'd get the Big Dots.If it's going to see alot of range use,go with the Standard Dots.Since I tried both,I prefer the Standard Dots.

WinkI bought the XS 24/7 Big Dot for my CZ75 and have also used the Novak Lo-mounts with tritium inserts. With my vision getting worse, not better, I appreciate more and more the Big Dot. Once I got used to it I found I was faster on target with the Big Dot than with the Novaks.

clayman204I checked out a bunch of different nightsights when I was done with my 1911 build, but still wanted advice from pros, so I asked over at a 1911 forum.
There was a consensus there, that Heini straight eights were the ones to have, so I tried em. Had em a couple years now, and have to say, best I've ever tried.

Sambar 9.3I used the fixed Meprolights for several years on my G17 and 19's, when I was still working in the trade.
No problems at all.
Cheers, Dave.

RJMI have tried most all of them and when possible I prefer to have the MMC Tactical Adjutable night sights put on in their Bar-Dot-Bar pattern. They are very compact and go right into a Novak Cut...
A friend has an Springfield XD and recently had the TruGlo friber optic/tritium sights put on...they are really bright no matter if it be bright sunlight or full darkness.

You ever set them out in the sun and charge them up? I keep my night sights in the gun safe, and they take some charging, just like a watch dial.
