My 17 Has Had About 10 Different Sights In It's 20 Years>WHAT ABOUT THESE>???

The test gun came with the now famous "target sights.":upeyes: Yeah, suck city... It was the summer of '86, and we were testing this new "wondernine" Glock thingy. Loved about everything, but the sights. Fragile, PC junk...

The Glock folks settled in Georgia, and offered two makers of night sights, for cheap for cops. Had both. Not bad. Not special.

Over the years have had others, since this has become my personal carry weapon.

I guess the Ashley X-press with the jumbo dot up front was my fave. Then the Tru-Glow fiber optics came along, and I liked them a lot, except when really dark. REALLY dark does defeat them!

Gunfights under low-light, and NO light are two different things.

The "Tactical Advantage" sight claims to be the best of both worlds. I like the concept, of the general sighting system muchly!!!:thumbsup: Angles over dots, one could say...AND COLORS!!!

Will this system be better than the Tru-glow, and closer to "night sights" (as they claim in low light)>???

Thoughts and comments welcomed & appreciated!!! If approving of this system, what colors front & rear, would you choose>???

;) Thanks again...and be safe!!!

I think you should get rid of the gun since you can't find a set of sights for it.:supergrin:

I like the concept, and would like to try them out.

But if you're looking for true dark night sights, don't Trijicon's glow/luminess?

I'm waiting for the Liebster's version. The Advanced Tacticals looked a tad delicate. See http://www.suresight.com/home.htm

Those look interesting, too! I like the two-color options on the Advantage Tacticals a lot.

I take it that these "florescent" sights are brighter, or at least work better in low-light, than fiber optics>???

Leibster would have the most accurate answer to that question. In the mean time, one page of the SureSight site has:

"SureSight Benefits:

* Faster Sight Acquisition
* Faster Target Acquisition
* Obscures Less target than conventional sights
* Can be crudely aimed even when eye is focused on threat Excellent for "older eyes"
* Highly visible in low light
* Improves shooter confidence
* Easier to shoot on the move
* Retains high level of accuracy for precision and distance shots out to 50 meters.
* IDPA Legal"

And on another:

"Due to its large size and brilliant yellow coloring, low light capabilities are greatly enhanced over standard sights. Due to the sight's size and configuration it is remarkably usable in low light. Night sighted versions are in development."

The SureSight product is not on the street yet, so if you just HAVE to have a replacement set of sights today, they would not be your answer. [I've promised myself I would have patience.] When they are available, it will be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of them to FO and tritium sights under a variety of light conditions.
