Truglo TFX PRO Handgun Sight, Glowing Shock Proof Tritium and Fiber Optic Night Sight for Handguns, Compact, Durable, and Snag Free Sight

Note these are my first aftermarket sights, but I did a lot of research and analysis before buying and felt the TFX Pro was the best option. Your needs may lead to a different choice.Regarding installation, I completed the install on my S&W Shield myself. It took about an hour because getting the old sights off can be a bit of an experience and effort, but the new sights went on more easily, and I also did some fine tuning to get the sights centered. Much of the time was being careful because I was concerned all the pressure to push the sights off and on was going to deform or break the sights, but nope not at all.I did rate the install as 5 stars, but that doesn't mean it's easy. It's just easier than the stock sights and I didn't have any hang-ups during the install. Again, you just need to make sure you still the sights centered correctly.ADVICE 1: Get a good sight pusher. Using the hammer and punch was killing my punches and the sights wouldn't even budge. I could have gone harder but I didn't want to risk marring the slide, so the pusher proved to be much better. Note that I found it useful to clamp the pusher in a vise so it was more stable and less prone to slipping out of my hands.ADVICE 2: Before installing the new sights, use a sharp pencil to mark the center of the top of the slide while the old sights are in place. It will make it easier to center the new sights. I tried to use calipers to measure the center, but it was hard to get a good or consistent purchase when measuring, so I didn't get the accuracy I was looking for. I wish I had marked it. Or having a reputable gunsmith install the sights may be the easier way to go, just make sure they care enough to center the sights correctly.ADVICE 3: Apply a light coat of oil into the dove cuts with a swab so the new sights go on more easily.ADVICE 4: Many pistols have a set screw on the rear sight to ensure it doesn't move. You will need blue thread locker on the set screw so it doesn't come loose.So after the install, I just practiced some draw and and target acquisition. I literally could see an improvement after like 6 draws. It's really easy to get used to, and it's really easy see whether the dots aligned correctly, especially with the orange circle front sight. I wish I bought these a long time ago.I was concerned about the tritium/fiber being too bright when in the dark, but not the case at all. They are low key enough that if you needed to hide yourself, they wouldn't show, but have good brightness to still be plenty visible. I'll still have to try it in mixed lighting to see if the green dots are still easy to make out, not sure.I really liked the rear sight having a ledge that I could use for one-handed racking. It's also useful for my friend, where she doesn't have a lot of grip strength to rack the slide, so having the ledge makes her life easier as well.That's about it. Well worth the price and they look great. Now I'm going to buy more for my other pistols. Enjoy.

these are really nice. outdoors in the sunlight they glow like little green Sun's making target acquisition fast and easy. they also glow in the dark, if God forbid you ever have to use your gun at night. they are not cheap but i think they are worth it.

I absolutely love these sights!! I can't stress enough the improvement these sights can make. I'm not just talking about factory sights either. I used to have a set of XS Tritium Big Dot sights on my Kahr P40, and while I really liked them and used them for many years, as I got older, and my eyes changed, the white line and dot just didn't stand out as well. I found I need something with better contrast. When I saw these, I thought I'd give it a try and WOW what a difference. No!!! I'm not connected in any way, shape or form with the manufacture and I'm not getting paid or compensated in any way. I'm just that impressed with the product.The combination of the Tritium and Fiber Optic works perfectly in all light conditions. The green fiber optic really pops during the day, and the orange focus ring really does help with quick acquisition while giving just the right amount of contrast.I love them so much I've put some on my Sig Sauer P320 and my H & K P30. My groups have tightened up and I am quicker on target now.One last note. I have a Red-Dot sight on one of my rifles, and I while it works great, there are two drawbacks that I think should be considered before dismissing these sights as an option for your pistol. First, you never have to worry about dead batteries with these sights, unlike most Red-Dot sights or Holographic sights. Second, some people have an astigmatism that can affect their sight picture when using a Red-Dot. You may not know it until you purchase one of those sights, or you could develop one with age as I did. Another thing is those sights are somewhat delicate, care has to be taken to not damage or scratch the glass. These sights are pretty durable, and the fiber optic will always work during the day even if you somehow managed to damage the encapsulated tritium vials. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it is highly unlikely due to the design. I don't think you can go wrong with these sights, but that's just my opinion. If you're looking for an upgrade to your pistol, this is a fantastic choice.

These sights are great. They remind me of x-ray 3 sights made by Sig because of the U notch in the rear. Speaking of the rear sight, it was extremely tight in my Kimber 1911. A gunsmith likely would have filed it just a little. I went ahead and cranked on my sight pusher and got it centered up, though. I even used a little oil when installing the sights. The sight picture is excellent.

Good, bright sights in daylight or darkness but they suffer a bit like all sights in the twilight period where the fiber optic isn't getting enough light and the tritium isn't bright enough to stand out against the ambient light.The orange ring around the front sight pipe helps to distinguish it from the two white/green dots on the rear, speeding up the process of alignment on the target.Front sight post is pretty beefy so at any kind of range beyond "bedroom defense" it's hard to get an accurate bead on the target. If you're a precision, long range handgunner these sights will disappoint but they're great for personal and home protection distances.It's worth paying the labor to have them installed professionally. Like all aftermarket sights they're made with excess material to account for wear and widening of dovetails on slides of older guns. This isn't a manufacturing defect, it's intentional. A professional will be able to measure your dovetail and then file down the sight base to fit.I have these on both my SR9 and SR9C - they're a great improvement over the factory sights.

Best sights I’ve ever had. This is not my first, I actually have these installed in most of my pistols. Money very well spend

Amazing sights. Had to modify the rear sight by filing the dovetale to install on my SP-01 Shadow. So be prepared to have it modified by a gun Smith if you own this module. Also do not attempt to install without a quality sight pusher, it will void your warranty if you already haven't done so by filing them to fit your SP-01 Shadow.

Nicer sights

Montage Passt, leuchtet im Dunkeln, macht man nix verkehrt. Der Preis ist aber awesome!!! Vergleicht man eine LPA Visierung mit Schräubchen und beweglichen Teilen, viel aufwendiger, kostet aber fast nur ein Drittel. Habe das hier genommen, weil es flach ist und in einen Anschlagschaft rein musste. Nix anderes wollte passen. Visierbild ist halt für Combat / Home Defense usw. Wer Präzi will, nimmt LPA

Ça ne fit même pas pour un shadow 1 ou 2 Ce n'est pas la faute du vendeur c'est la faute de Truglo. Ça tire 4 pouces plus bas . Je remets les mires d'origines et sacre ça où ça dois aller, dans les vidanges.
