Would you say these are better than the truglo fiber optic night sights?

No, Truglo sites are better but at the time Truglo didn't offer sites for XDS. They are good though. Hope this helps

Defiantly. Fiber optic only amps light where as these will glow bright even in the darkest conditions. I would recommend a gunsmith to put them in as xd sights are pressed in and really hard to remove without the proper tools.

only thing about fiber optics is, it is glass material, it can break if you should bump your gun inadvertently. Regular night sites much more rugged

I don't have the trueClo but the HiViz works great in a dark room! Seems to grab minimal light out of thin air to light up the front sight on our Mossberg 500. Now my wife feels more comfortable about using it at night for anyone foolish enough to breach our home!!

Much better.....we have both and these are better quality, smaller, and BRIGHTER

Never used Truglos before, but if they have the standard hex-head screw used with most Glock sights, then you are good.

I don't personally find I experience better visibility from the Silverstar, and in addition to extra money, remember as well that the Silverstar has a shorter design life. You'll not only pay more for them, you'll replace them a lot more often. Last year I was able to find the design life data on Osram Sylvania's site, but I couldn't find it just now. However, you can expect to replace XtraVisions more often than standard halogens, and Silverstars more frequently than XtraVisions. If I recall correctly, the difference in design life can come out to years for many drivers. The brighter bulbs achieve the extra "brightness" by burning a smaller filament at a higher temperature, so life suffers heavily.

I do recommend this sights but not sure if I would recommend them over the HD sights with the painted front because I don't own the HD... yet.. I would like to get some of the HD sights and put them on another XDM that I own just to try them out, but haven't gotten around to it. I do feel comfortable with the company and don't think they make bad product.

Yes. Depending on your specific model, they're either as good as the factory sights in daylight, or better. In dim light or in the dark, there is no comparison. They're bright in darkness, and with a little practice you can learn to line them up while focused on the target.

yes and actually better since the illumination tends to glare out the view when not quite bright daylight. I don't think the illumination helps much, otherwise a good scopoe with easy to see crosshairs.

The TRUGLO red dot looks and works great. I recently mounted it on my new Martin Saber along with the Hind Sight II Sight. This has helped with my left to right ones I've drawn the bow. It has really helped my grouping and makes aiming quick and easy. May work just as well with the peep site.

I would google reviews on streamlights vs. Aimsports ( and ncstar, same design) before making a choice. You will see most people choose streamlight or surefire in the long run. Streamlight is a little cheaper than surefire though and equal in quality. Streamlight is pure quality but Surefire is made to be bullet proof almost but their prices reflect that as well. Surefire is best but streamlight is the only other option you can count on when its mounted to a gun. At least in my experiences.

If the Raven Phantom Holster works with your stock sights, it should work with the Truglo's. There's not a Huge difference in the height.

I can't answer that because I returned the sight due to it being so small and ineffective. The picture is deceiving. Not only was the entire post small, but the so-called tritium insert was all but useless. I bought the tru-glow night sights and couldn't be happier.

The front sight can be seen quit well in all light levels and even in the darkest night can be acquired enough to put on target. I would not say it is the best night sights but I feel like they are more than adequate. I am 63 so my eyes are not as sharp as they once were.

They work well in high- and low light conditions. Remember, these are TRITIUM fiber optic. Plain fiber optic aren't as good in low light situations, but the glow of the tritium helps In low light. About the only problem I have I that the tritium sight only come in green or yellow, where the fiber optic is red on the front sight and green on the back. When I first started shooting, I thought the tritium was a bit much, but I've learned differently. It's a BIG difference.

Ive got several sets. They all glow well in the pitch black. No trouble finding sights in dark. Only front sight glows

I personally think they would perform perfectly, since mine do. You can always order them and check them out at dusk then if they don't work for you, return them. I would honestly consider the unarmored version as they are lighter but should be the same quality optics. I use the armored at night when I can't see holes in the ground and fall down a lot which messes up my unarmored binos. Go for it and let me know your decision.

Yes and no the Acog by Trijicon runs fully on a fiber optic cable. However there is a power cell within the scope to enhance your night shooting. However it doesn't give you night vision but the red accent color looks good threw any ATN thermal or night vision
