TruGlo TFX or TFX Pro Glock Sights

[Wildcat Diva]

Hey, Wildcat diva. Need a report on how your sights and transaction with Academy went. Thinkin' might do the same.

Man... have not done it yet. I'm low on funds and the IRS is a knocking on my door.

How so Renegade? Please elaborate.

The white outline on the front sight takes up space so the fiber is a little smaller and harder to pickup

Probably would not have mattered if I had not used the prior version but having used it I like the bigger front sight and see little value of the whit outline. As you do not see it at night and during the day the fiber is bright

Thx Renegade, the orange dot it is for my G19.

This is my opinion also. I like the regular TFOs and see no need for the extra clutter on the front sight.

Don't mean to "side track" the main thrust of this thread but can someone 'splain black rear sights to me on a CARRY gun? I've seen a couple of different threads and/or published gun articles were some folks appear to be advocates for 'blacked out' rear sights on a carry pistol.
Now perhaps it's my age and corresponding fading/poor eyesight AND considering a self-defense carry piece is as equally to be used at night as daytime (if not more so), I just don't understand the advocacy for blacked out rear sights. Unless you're shooting competition during bright sunshine, it seems logical you'd want some kind of visible sights on the rear of a self-defense pistol. One author even wrote he blacks out the rear white three dot sights on a carry gun! I'm just not understanding that.

The way I understand it is that anything that helps you focus on the front sight is helpful. Having that be the only dot would serve that purpose.

I got a set of TFX Pro for Christmas. I might be able to try them out tomorrow.

^^^ That ^^^
Exactly what I put on my G19... I like 'em. Don't know how they'll hold up but so far, so good (about six months down the road).

Not yet waiting on my powder order to arrive.

There seems to be a few different versions of these, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the varieties. Even the package they sent me seems different from the Academy listing. Anyway, we paid $80ish each set for our Glock 26 and 27. Same guy (he's a firearms trainer and Glock armorer) as did our triggers did our sights on for us, and installed a trigger kit too on each one. We paid him $60 for about an hour and a half labor for all these things together (triggers and sights, he shot them too to test). Hope we didn't underpay him, he didn't give us any suggestion as to the price.

so far, I like the sights ok. There is a little more space than the stock sights between the place where the front and rear sights marry when you align, if that makes sense. More space on each side of the front sight.

Also the dots do not seem very bright so far.

First impressions - Good in daylight and at night. Hard to see in the house and I assume in overcast conditions. I like them though.

 

[Savage20]

Is it normally overcast inside your house?

Yeah, the roof blocks a whole lot of sunlight.

TruGlo sights in low light in my privvy. My medicine cabinet was threatening me.

I'm not unimpressed.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

Well. My front sight is defunct.

Had to have a chat on Academy.com and get my receipt. Downloaded it to phone.

Called Lake Jackson Academy store just for kicks to see what they would say. They said come on in.

I had ordered it online from Academy. Com.


LJ Academy manager knows we come in all the time. They refunded the sights and will reorder. They will wait until I see my Glock Armorer and get the sights changed out and bring the old ones back to them on honor system.

That's pretty damn good customer service on Academy's part. Not sure I'm quite as happy with Tru-Glo, but for now it's whatever.
