TRUGLO TFX Handgun Sight | Durable Shock-Resistant Compact Brightly Glowing Tritium & Fiber-Optic Xtreme Day/Night Sight for Handguns

I decided to purchase the Truglo TFX sights for a Gen 4 G17 after reading up on all the pro's of the TFO's (1st generation) hundreds of positive reviews and only 1 common issue which was the front fiber optic post falling out due to recoil. The introduction of the TFX sight was solely to correct that from happening so the TFX gives you the same great day/night high viz capability with none of the con's.They are very easy to install. The rear needed to be run up the side of a stone about 3-4 times on each side but they still went in snug. The FS fit very well there was almost no movement without being secured with the mount screw. I used a bit of non permanent thread lock on the bottom of the FS, on the screw in the slide, and on the rear slide set screw.The fiber optics are ridiculous in these sights in just a small amount of indoor light or even standing by a window on a cloudy day they glow bright green. When you are outside in any type of light condition they are brighter then any tritium site on the market making them astonishingly easy to align and get right on target. The rear sight very low profile very smooth and defiantly anti snag if the user was looking to use them on a concealed carry pistol. They also appear to retain enough of a flat ledge on the front portion of the rear site for those who have to have the ability for one handed manipulation. Keep in mind it will do it but it may not be the best of that's most important too you.The upgrades made to the FS as compared to the TFO's is definatly there. The fiber optics are fully seated and secured on all 4 sides of both the front and rear sites. The captive ring is fitted perfectly on the front and also includes a HI viz white ring around the fiber optic/tritium vile for fast pick up not that's its really required. Short of the sites completely breaking off due to the pistol being dragged or dropped directly on I do not see the posts or the tritium inserts coming loose or falling out.The tritium is very good but if I had to give the sights a knock this is where it should be yhey are not as bright as some others. I compared them with a new set of XS 24/7 big dots I just received and installed on a G26 and they are slightly dimmer. It appears the reason for this is the fiber optic post. While looking at the FS in the dark from the top you will see that fiber optic is glowing in all exposed areas due to the light given off by the tritium escaping from the top of the open fiber optic posts which seems to really effect the FS more then the rear. This tells me the quality of the tritium is 100% it's just being used over a larger area then a normal set of night sights. This small con in the design in no way effects these sights from doing their job or detracts in their over all effectiveness in a low light or no light situation.I would highly recommend these sights to anyone who was looking to replace a factory set up. Other then Bulls eye shooting which requires an adjustable rear site I cant think of a role that these sights cannot fit target, concealed carry, self defense, competition the TFX's will do it all and more. Hopefully they will be making them for more lines of pistols in the near future.

Already have other TruGlo products, this is the first TFX. Glad now the other sights were discontinued. The fiber optic is amazing in daylight, it captures light and makes the sights pop out. The tritium holds up to TruGlo's reliability as being very visible in low light/dark. These sights were installed on a PT111. The only hitch was the pin that allows the locking mechanism to protrude when activated was too long and the metal TFX sight would have ran into it during installation. Ground about.75 mm off the pin to obtain a flush fit in the slide. Used a VISM Sight tool, ( NcStar VTUPRS, purchased from Amazon), and the sight installed without issue. This sight tool has changed a variety of sights now without marring/scratching the slides. The original plastic sight would have come off with minimal push, had the lock pin not been in the way. As far as any accuracy differences I do not expect a lot out of a two inch barrel autoloader, (I don't count the chamber as barrel). The most important thing is practice with what you have. If looking for hole touching hole accuracy at 15 plus yards, there are plenty of custom manufacturers out there that offer this with longer barrel options. These sights are a bargain for the cost. Hope this helps resolve some of the issues others had with installations. A tip of the hat to the gentleman that managed the install with a mallet. A sight pusher tool is highly recommended for this type installation.

I was a little skeptical of these sights because I was wondering if the manufacturer had cut corners somewhere. I was concerned as to whether the Tritium was as bright as Tritium-only sights, and whether the fiber optics were physically rugged and easy to see. With some trepidation I had my gunsmith install this sight system on one of my CZ75Bs.Firstly, the sights fit the gun very nicely, and look like they belong there. Yes, the front sight is longer than the stock sight in order to accommodate the fiber optic rod, but that is a small price to pay for the fact that this is the most visible sight that one can get for the CZ75B. The Tritium appears to be on a par with Tritium-only sights. The fiber optics make the sight very visible anywhere there is overhead light, such as outdoors or in an illuminated shooting stall such as my favorite indoor range has. (Remember, fiber optic sights work by collecting overhead light and refracting it 90 degrees to the ends of the FO rods.) And in conditions lacking both overhead light but which are too dim to let the Tritium help, the big white front sight is effective for target acquisition. This sight system will work well under pretty much any conceivable shooting light conditions.At the range, I found these sights to be spectacularly visible. The front sight dot is pretty large if you have overhead lighting; somewhat larger than the Tritium-only Tru-glo sight. But I found it to be very satisfactory. This is a very good sight system.In fact the only thing I don't like about these sights is that my other pistols don't have them.I highly recommend this sight system for the CZ75 family of guns.

Très bien fait, juste un peux de fitting à faire. Super en pleine noirceur.

This sights are well built and work great in all lighting conditions. The fibers are very bright during the day and the trillium kicks in when it is dark. The notch is square but is wide enough for quick target acquisitions. I like my Glock again...(just make sure you don't use a punch to install these sights but use a sight pusher instead)

very nice, great price

Installed on my Glock 17, nice and bright day and night.

Different sights arrived than what i ordered, the front sight was fiber optic only, not tritium and the rear sight was not the TFX model it was the older TFO. Have a look at my pics.I guess that explains the substantially lower price, buyer beware.
