Speed Sights

[Mr.357Sig]

I think most would agree that the weakest link on any Glock is the factory sights. (Don't go there, Glock Haters)

Speed Sights make a very interesting product. Just wanted to get your opinion on their night sights as a CC option. Does anyone have firsthand experience with Speed Sights?

My main concern is they are aluminum and not steel. At more than $100 for a set, will they hold up to daily CC use? My other concern is they look goofy as hell.

Have you ever checked out XS big dot sights. I have used it on one of my CC guns in the past, I took the gun in trade and they were already on there. I liked them a lot. They were not the greatest when target shooting the black and white silhouette target as there is not a lot of contrast. But it is blazing fast target acquisition. and they are also night sights as well. Not sure if one would say they look goofy or not.... at least the guy on the other side on the sights wouldn't

I wouldn't handicap my Glock with them, but to each their own. If you want durable yet high visibility carry sights, Trijicon HD's would get the nod from me.

About how long do the trijicons last before they need replacing?

About how long do the trijicons last before they need replacing?

10-12 years.

10-12 years. I miss the good ole days of russian radioactive sights that would last 30-40 years

I have to agree with Poke on the big dots. I have them on my glock 19 which I carry and they are super fast and accurate. They also have Trijicon inserts for night use. They are a win in my book.
