noticed something that made me wonder if there is something off with a set of nightsights i got. a few months ago i ordered and got installed a set of Meprolights (Tru glo's) for my CZ; they were the only night sights i had, and i was impressed with the big glowing green dots in the dark.
recently i picked up a XD that came with night sights- they turned out to be Trijicons. upon initial inspection (in bright light) the first thing i noticed was that they were small compared to the meprolights. but then when the lights were turned out and...
the Trijicons absolutely destroyed the Meprolights as far as brightness.
initially when i saw the mepros on my CZ, they were impressive, but now comparatively, they look like unimpressive dim bulbs. the Trijicons on the xd- though smaller in size- are so much brighter its not even funny.
not only that, the white circle surrounding them is far brighter as well. even here with a flourescent light on them, the mepros look like faint blobs, but i can still see the glow of the trijicons as well as the strongly contrasting white circle around them.
i dont know if my Mepros are already dimming (they shouldnt be, considering they supposedly last 10 years), but if they are not then to anyone looking for night sights, i would STRONGLY recommend the Trijicons.
