I am thinking about getting a TruGlo TFO sights for my XD (home defense + pistol range) but was curious if these triangle type sights are better.  Has anyone tried using these triangle sights for their handguns?

I considered those a while back but didn't know anyone who had any first hand experience with them and didn't feel like being the guinea pig.

I can strongly recommend TFO's.

They're excellent sights and currently my favorite pistol sight.

like a lot of things, the theory seems sound
but i don't know how they work in the real world

isn't there one brand of pistol that comes stock with a similar sight system?

steyr has trapezoidal sights from the factory.

its pretty weird. good for quick target acquisition but not for target shooting.

Interesting. I could see the triangle being good for quick shooting. As for target shooting, one would think that the sharp point on the triangle would make one more accurate.

It sounds like you could be the guinea pig here.

Get the sights and I'll go with you to do the testing.

You got it.  Which one do you think is better -- SureSight or Advantage Tactical? 

Will order it or both tonight or tomorrow.

Personally, I really want to try these.

Looks like SureSight is backordered. Was gonna get their tritium one. Oh well.

Will order the AT one.

My friend has one like the sure sight. took some getting used to. If you don't have that good eyes you may not be able to see the top point that easily.

Just gonna post here since its in the OP.

BUYERS BEWARE of Sure Sight. A thread on Glocktalk shows several people not getting their orders or an email response from the company over several years.

KK, interested in helping me zero my XD after installation of the triangle AT sights?  I am planning on making time to go to HFR in the later half of this week.

Will do!

Advantage Tactical Sights came in a small plastic package in a small manila envelope. It came with 5 color combinations for the front sight and 5 for the rear sight.



Universal Handgun Sight Tool Gunsmithing Kit from http://sightpusher.com came in a small USPS box with the following content. The plastic bag contains the different blocks for the XD, XDM and Beretta 92F. The various blocks are also supposed to work with most Sigs, M&Ps and H&Ks.



If i don't get too sleepy, I will install sights tonight and will take before and after pics.

Holy moly. This XD rear sight is a pita to remove!!!



Maybe I should consider bringing it in to a gunsmith!
