TruGlo fiber optic sights
« on: February 29, 2020, 11:04:09 PM »
I’ve searched through the forum but didn’t find any info on it,only TFX series .Has anyone tried this set of sights on their 75s.They seem to be a good deal money wise(around $50)and look like a very nice minimalistic sight set.

I haven't tried them, but they look nice.  I like the shape of the rear sight.  It doesn't obscure as much of the target as square sights, and draws the eye toward the target.  The notch looks bugger than 0.125, so you can actually see some light on either side of the front sight.  The hole for the FO in the front sight is countersunk (like the Dawson) to cut down on glare and make the FO appear more crisp.  They even put a puddle of white paint or something under the FO to bounce more light into it.  Looks like a well thought out set.

Got them delivered today.Didn’t install them yet,but they do look nice and they feel quality .Rear is compact but comfortably tall,not low profile.It is not a paint under the fiber rod,it is a reflective sticker,which I’m sure will only stay in there for a few cleanings,but sight comes with a spare green/red dot rods and spare reflective material as well.Front sight is narrower then rear sight notch,just like Dawson’s.

I would love to see pictures when they are installed.

I want to put fiber optic in my range/BD and am debating which ones, now.

Thanks.  I might get some for my Compact D if I can ever get the mags to feed properly.

They are great sights,I just used different fiber optic rod in it,the one they came with was not that bright and had a strange color.

here is a pic. i just got them on today. wanted a FO rear/front setup but i have no complaints. i prefer a red front for outdoor range shooting. and the blacked out rear makes for a very good sight picture
