Post by: skeeter 20i on March 13, 2019, 06:53:11 AM: 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.

Post by: MADMAX on March 13, 2019, 07:10:11 AM: Thanks, I tried the black pen trick on the rear for now
I am going to look at a few for sure before I purchase and see what I like
I sent a request to the shop I bought mine at in Bremerton area ( Palmer ordnance) for a quote including installation

Post by: MADMAX on March 20, 2019, 06:40:07 AM: Ordered the Trijicon HD Night Sight Set for Glock 20
on sale at Midway for $140, orange front green remainder
Now hope my gun shop will install reasonably $

Post by: CaNINE on March 20, 2019, 07:15:14 AM: My shop charged me 30 minutes labor. I think that was only $30. Seemed reasonable.

Post by: bustedoldman on March 20, 2019, 08:00:32 AM: 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....

Post by: MADMAX on March 20, 2019, 08:32:47 AM: Thanks guys
I bought the gun from there so I figured 20-30 bucks to install

Post by: KFhunter on March 20, 2019, 08:57:18 AM: I put the trijicons on my 3rd gen G20. three greens

I debated putting on a different color front but opted for three greens because that's what I'm used too. I've got enough muscle memory there's no way I could mis-index the sights plus if I did the spacing would be way off.

One has to focus on keeping those three dots aligned up perfectly to shoot small holes in paper, rapid firing takes muscle memory which is what you're going to need anyways because the muzzle flash will mess up your ability to align the dots in a dark environment.

underwood uses a flash suppressed powder, something to consider in a carry gun if you're heading to your stands at night.
