Did my pistol sight swap.

My Glock 44 came with night sights. I don't like them. So i tackled putting the stock sights on it. I don't have a sight pusher. So i used a short piece of glun gun stick. It worked great. I can see the Glock sights good. The rear sights are adjustable too.

I'm just curious, what is it about night sights that you don't like? If it's the size of the dot, you might look at XS Sights which is what I use. I'm sure you've been around them, Coal. Now that I think on it, I don't have any night sights on my .22s.

They were too dull for me.

Interesting. I took night sights off a Glock 48 and replaced them with Truglo TFX pro tritium and fiber optics with an orange outline front. I put the Glock night rear on a new Taurus GX4 and a Taurus Truglo on the front. Sights seem bright to me. Could be you got a faulty set.

They were dull for the day light. If the dots were brighter white. I would have left them alone. They are Mepro brand.

I no longer mess with night sights. I have/had several older guns with dead night sights. I liked them well enough when they were new, but it can get expensive replacing them every 7-8 years. Especially if you have 6-8 guns with them. I had my gun smith remove some dead night sights and put factory sights back on them. He has a box full of them, he gave me the sights and only charged me $20 to install them.

In any light at all I can see the big white dot better than night sights. The night sights were only an advantage in near full darkness. And I've started using a light mounted on the pistols for that.

You may want to add a little loctite also just to be sure your sight won't go flying off while shooting, the front sight especially.
