... and now the waiting game begins. 5-10 days!!! Arrrgh! I can't wait. I've read pretty much nothing but good things about these sights and I can't wait to try them out.
If you have these on your Glock, post some pix!!!
Let me know how you like them once you get them. I'm considering getting those for my G17 and G22. My only real concern about them is their durability.

Frisco Kid,
Go here: http://www.glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=475405 at the bottom of the page you see how they compare to other night sights.
I have a set on my G22 and they are great. I went to a shoot this last weekend and in the sun with my orange lens glasses they stand out big time an are easy to pick up. They also glow real good in the dark too!
Just follow the instructions for the install and you can't go wrong.

Dustdevil21:
Hey, let me ask you about that. Are they hard to install? I'm pretty much new to handguns and shooting in general, so I'm kinda hesitant to attempt installing them myself. I probably don't even have the tools necessary to remove my old sights. I was just gonna take them to the range where they have a Glock Armorer.
Removing the old sights is a piece of cake. You can pull the front sight right off with a pair of needle nose pliers. To remove the rear site, simply take a hammer and a punch and drive it out (left to right).
Installing the new sights is slightly more complicated. The front side should go on with a small screw and some red loctite. It's pretty simple (unless there is something about the TFO sights that is different from other front sights). Installing the rear sight is more difficult. A rear sight tool makes it easy, but I've had success using a C-clamp in a similar manner.

How much are the truGlos and from whom do you suggest ordering them?

I think $85-$95 is the standard price. I got them thru www.topglock.com, as I've heard they're very reliable.

Just got my G19 from TopGlock with Truglo TFO's. Have 650 rounds through her already and the sites are AWESOME!!!

I shoot with the Yellow/Orange glasses as well and they light right up and finding the site picture on target is quick.
This is my recent post with pics as well:http://www.glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=503578

I went to their website and on their list of sellers their websites weren't very search friendly, did find one finally. They were 115 I believe. But there is a set on ebay for like 85 + 7 bucks shipping.

i just purchased a pair of green/green ones for my g39 this weekend and am very happy with them as well. my 17 is next.
I have had TFOs since November. I haven't seen any problem with them in 750 + rounds. I have been careful with cleaning solvents but other than that I have treated them just like any other sight. Have my G17 on right now with them. They improved my daylight shooting right away.

Yeah IXLR8ED you're the one that started me looking into those. It looks like an X-Box Glock.

Just ordered them a couple of days ago, so I can't answer your questions first hand, but I know two people who have bought from them with no problems.

Pistol-gear.com has them for 84.95, (where I got mine), and Natchez http://www.natchezss.com/brand.cfm?contentID=productList&brand=XR&mfgGroup=531&subgroup=2401&CFID=2189246&CFTOKEN=39131846 has them for 79.86
If you have an Armorer handy they should be able to do it for you if you aren't comfortable with doing it yourself.

I am placing my order tonight, is there a difference with the TFO's? or is there only one TFO part number for the glock 23. I know there are 2 different for two type models. But I think I remember seeing lows and brights or something like that

Natchess seemed to have the best deal until a guy on here with the user name GlocksterPaulie pmed me. He just got a shipment in and so far this guy has been very helpful. I would go with him. He will try to beat most so that he can get a foot in the door. He just picked up Truglo. Paul chime in and help these guys out. I want to say he quoted me $85 shipped. He'll correct me if I am wrong.

J,
You are right $85.00 shipped, I only have a few for the G9/357/40 and 10/45. And a couple for the XD's, they are Grn/Grn. I have 90% of them sold already.

I knew you were lurking around somewhere. I may need some for that RAMI on order, but no rush. She needs to become one with the gun first.
