My G19 is ready for low light. So Sevigny Carry VS Warren Tactical VS Heinie VS Trijicon VS Meprolight. The ultimate showdown begins. I've seen a lot on here about Trij/Meps, but not so much on the others. I have to say the idea of two vertical tritium dots is interesting. So let me have it with the reviews/opinions/remarks. All is welcome, and thank you all for your input ahead of time. The more information the better. :cheers:
TruGlo T.F.O.'s are awesome. They are very bright at night and in the day time.

You left out the best IMO, Ameriglo.
+1 on the T.F.O.'s. Only wish they worked the same with the indoor range flourscent lighting :sad:
My g30 sports meprolights from Glock. Nice sights, nice price and Glock guaranteed.
The ultimate showdown...

Now that is funny.
On a more serious note,
I was just about to purchase some Trijicons and a good buddy of mine told me Meprolights are better, and brighter (bright being the best feature in a night sight) and the half life is the same.
I plan on getting some with in the next week or so for my Glock 19
I've got three sets of mepros and I am happy with them. Except, I would like either a skinnier front sight or bigger gap in the rears.
+1 on the T.F.O.'s I just put a set on my 21SF and they work great. I have a set of Ameriglows on my G27, a Kimber that came with Meprolights and a Beretta with Trigicons. At night they are all good but the TFOs make acquiring the target easier during the day, at least for my 50+ year old eyes.
Go TFO. You won't regret it.

Sevigny, Warren and Race Cut Heinie all have similar and the best light ratios of all the available sights. This will make them faster and more precise.
Ranking in order of my personal prefernce.
Sevigny
Race Cut Heinie
Warren
Stock Heinie
Trj and mep about the same, both have good gas tubes but poor clunky sight design.

So its looks like the cheapest I can find for WTS/Sevigny carry both with tritrium is aobut $100. Is that the cheapest anyone has seen them? cheaper/where?

I agree with Matt's choice 100%
the Sevigny sights are the cat's-ass
