I was thinking of doing this on my 10mm too before hopefully heading to MT for archery well this year. Curious to hear what guys have to say about color combos on the Trijicon.

Green seems to be brightest, I like a contrasting front sight to avoid potential confusion of lining up three dots the same color although that is how many factory sights are set up.

Green is the only color I'll pay for as far as tritium night sights. More important than night sights is a light, if you have a light  there isn't a huge need for night sights.

Tagging along on this. Just purchased a G20 and not particularly fond of the stock sights.  I've been considering Trijicon and Tru-Glo.

I think it's a personal decision you almost really need to look at each.  I tried all the different combinations for colors in the Trijicon HD series and found that my eyes naturally picked up the orange front the quickest.  So I run green rears and an orange front.  The green rears and the yellow front came in a close second. 

One thing I found interesting was that my eyes picked up on the yellow quicker in the woods in low light situations but that wasn't the case in other situations such as around the house, not sure why that is.

For me personally the green front and rear played tricks on my eyes when I was just waking up in a absolute black room I had to force to focus on which was front and which was rear.  I'm sure with additional time and training I could have overcome that but when I contrasted the colors it just clicked for me.

Hope that helps.

MADMAX i bought a new G20 last month and had the shop install the standard green 3 dot trijicon sights.  Give me a shout if your ever down in GH and want to check out the sights on my gun.

My shop charged me 30 minutes labor. I think that was only $30. Seemed reasonable.

I put TG Tritium Pro's on mine, should have went with fision or other ( w/orange or yellow front)as I feel its not much of an up grade except for night time. I also put them on my XDM, it was a def upgrade on them. If passing thru or close to moses lake you can use my sight pusher, its easy peasy to change out in less than 20 min. Or you can order them off Amazon pretty cheap....
