Hi guys,

I am currently looking for upgrading my sights on my glock17 g4, as title say , my choices stopped on 2 particular one , the Tru Glo Truglo Brite-Site TFX Pro and the Trijicon GL101. The price range seems to be the same but would appreciate to ear some guys talk about it. ( I already read about it and saw a couple vids on youtube too )

Also , where you guys bought them , i saw DS tactical have the TRIJICON but didnt see any Truglo on a website here in Canada yet.

Thanks for ur time !

I'm getting the Trijicon HD XR sights installed on my G17 tomorrow.

Another vote for the Trijicon HD. I just made the switch from standard Trijicons to the HD's and they're much better.
 
I got my trijicon sights from the Calgary Shooting Center. I can't remember what I paid but it seemed to be a fair price and they installed them for free.
 
Ameriglow Hackathorn set from Brownells.

Same orange Trijicon front sight blade as used in the Trijicon HDs with plain serrated rear sight.
Nearly half the cost of the trijicon set, and arguably more practical.

Do up all of your Glocks and use the savings to buy a proper rear sight pusher and front sight socket wrench.

Why when neither "proper" tool is required?

Vice, nylon punch, hammer and 3/16 nut driver ground down. TADA!
 
with the proper weighed hammer (for gunsmithing) and the proper nylon punch, switching the sights is not only easy but is also how it is done in the rest of the 99.9% guns that have no sight pusher.
The sight pusher is another Glock accessory sold for newbies. It really helps if you do not have the vise, nor the hammer, nor the punches. However, you will investing more than $150 on a proper sight pusher that is only good for 1 gun.
Learn how to push a sight properly with tools, and now you can do it in any gun.

Speaking from experience, not out of my a$$.

Here is a link of a video, of the one an only Dave Dawson from Dawson Precision (you probably heard of his sights systems):


His sights and Warren tactical are the only ones that I thought were really good value as I have no use, whatsoever, for night sights.

Please don't do this. You'll just end up smashing your sight & slide with the hammer.
