Glock 30s ....considering XS Night sights

[Redleg155]

Looking at replacing factory plastic with XS F8 night sights on my newly acquired Glock 30s. I went ahead bit the bullet and purchased the MGW sight tool to make it easier.

Anyone have these, or similar? I've always used Trijicon, but my older eyes are having trouble with 3 dots the same size and color....

Check into Night Fusion sights. I think not only are they cheaper. But seem alot brighter than the rest of the tritiums I own. They seem like the brightest so far. I replaced the super big suppressor sights on my XDM 10MM with them after I saw them in a gun store on sale and they happened to fit it. So I bought them and he installed em for free I think

Thanks for the recommendation! I checked out the site and USA made us a definite plus.

Looking at just ordering the front sight and keeping the stock rear for quick target acquisition during lower light conditions. Plus I can get one for my G30s and 43 for the price of one standard set.

They took a week off for their employees to be with their families. Bah humbug!!! I want my stuff now!! (Stomping foot). Actually....it's nice to see a company do that!

Ikr! And wow didn't know they was American also. That's another big plus! There'd a video I saw somewhere on YouTube or something I forget. But the guy explains why they're better. I'll have to track it down later. But very glad u got a good deal on better sights!

If you decide to go XS you wont be disappointed. Very quick and easy to acquire. Very bright in low light. I have them on two carry guns.

These are supposed to have actually more tritium in them than others. Here's a quick pic comparison from a video I just took. 30% is what they say. And mine yeah seem to be about that.

They look like good sights, but the photo luminescence seems gimmicky.
Ameriglo bold or Trijicon HD are my go-to. They’re essentially the same.
You can get the front outlined in yellow or orange.

Here are pics of a set of Night Fision sights I put on a Springfield XD. The rear is what Night Fision calls black out tritium...They are very nice. I would think the XS F8's would be very nice also.

I'll see if I can take some pics tonight. I have them front and back on my springfeild 10mm. And I'll show them vs two other ones I have. I know it's hard to see in that 2nd photo I showed. But the actual vials of tritium are like 30% larger. So in other words my other pistols when in dark are not only less bright. But smaller dots. The equivalent of shining a light on a kittens eyes in the dark vs a full blown mountain lion in appearance lol. If that comparison makes sense. Been like 6 months since I compared them tho. But I want to say that 2nd photo holds true. You can also just YouTube them and see. The video I photoed there was "The Daily Shooter" channel giving his opinion of them. Many are shills I know. But he seemed to be honest and made the video self explanatory

Here's a quick couple pics of them vs my SIGP365XL. First photo my camera was in low light mode. And it's like night vision sorta. But it amplified the both and actually showed the difference more I think. Next photo is a darker corner of my gun area and you can see the glow comparison better

So they claim 30%.. and I think I can say I see 30% brighter and larger at least.

Thanks for the pics!

I went ahead and ordered the yellow glow ring front sight for my G43 and the orange glow ring for my 30s. I will stick to my factory rear.

The way I see things, factory rear is just fine for daylight use. If I need a precise shot in low light conditions, then I will have secondary illumination to be sure of my target. Otherwise, front sight, squeeze... will be just fine for low light short range engagement distances.

Plus I saved 100 bucks!

Anytime bud glad it helped. When done post some pics vs your old ones. I'd like to see the difference in yours also

Just got them installed. Green on my G43 and Orange on the G30s. Definite improvement. Pics are in darkness/ artificial light. I am sure they would be extremely bright in natural light.

G30s on the left and G43 on the right. Looks like the orange bleeds off a little on the green at night.

Very nice. I may go see if they make any for SIG P365s also. And yeah those look great! I'm glad you're happy! Mine on my 10mm have a white outter ring. I may experiment soon with other colors also. I have a orange front tritium on my PHANTOM and it's my best shooter atm so I may use that setup more on other pistols too. But so far they pass the smell test!.. let's see next how long they last! If we're lucky they'll last longer also. Fangers crossed!

+1 for the Ameriglo... tall to co-witness dots.
