Need help selecting night sights

[john from md]

I am going to send my P9 slide back to Kahr for night sight installation. I need to decide whether to buy Trijicon or Meprolight.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I have Mepros on my 1911s and XS 24/7 on a MK9, NAA 32 ACP and 2 snubbies. The Mepros are far brighter than the XS sights.

I ordered my PM9 with night sights from the factory and they came with something that looks like the Mepros or Trijicons (they look so similar in the photos on Kahr's web page I cannot tell them apart except the Trijicon logo...)

The only marking on my PM9 sights is on the right side of the rear site in dark green:

TRU
DOT

I don't what they are, but they are as bright as the Mepros.

On the web page their part KTNS shows Trijicon in the photo, but AFAIK it doesn't say anywhere that's what they are... I suspect they are the TRU DOT... According to Kahr's site these are not available for the new type slide, so if you have a new type slide you may not have a choice.

With the information that I have at hand I'd chose the Mepros because I like them best on what I've got and they just happen to be a little less $$.

I'd wait for some other responses though. I'm anxious to hear them too.

My T40 has the Novak Trijicon "factory" sights. They are the three dot version. I like them ok, but if I was putting them on after-market, I'd probably have bought the rear Novak with the tritium bar instead of the dots, to be used with the same front dot sight. Simply place the front dot on the top of the bar and you know you're aligned properly.

That sounds like the XS 24/7 arrangement; I find them quicker to acquire than the 3 dot.

A little different -- a horizontal bar rather than vertical, and the conventional smaller front dot.

I have Meps on My Glocks and my Kahr PM9. I like them and wouldn't use anything else.

YMMV Good luck.
