The TFX sights are much more durable than the TFOs.
That is true, and why they were produced, but I thought they were a replacement for sights that had a tendency to lose the front insert if used roughly, not a new model, for more cost.
There is a limit to the warranty time that the $12.50 cost to replace the inserts is available, it is 12 years. After 12 year the full cost of replacement sights is levied!
In the case of a Glock 26 and Glock 19, and a very old Glock 17, 1985? that I brought down from Canada, they were OLD! So had a Buddy drop them off in Smyrna, Glock replaced every part that needed it, including the frame on the 17, it was cracked! Go Glock. All at no cost.
I thought I would try the Glock steel night sights on the G19, just plain white, not bad for $60.00. Not sure what sights were on it, but they were dead.
I parceled up the slides of the G26, and G17, sent them off to TruGlo, but was told they are older than 12 years? Yes I said. So full cost was required!
Negotiations were entered in to! Emails/phone calls galore, always pleasant, but finally I agreed to, and paid $20.00 per slide! For the old style.
As I had only ever had one front insert self eject (on a couple of year old IDPA match Glock 19) the $12.50 cost got both front and back replaced, no worries.
These 80 year old eyes see the TruGlo well, dark, half dark, or Florida Sun Light. And 20 yard 6" plates in the odd steel stage, are doable.
From the draw, concealed, on a full sized cardboard IDPA target, piece of cake. Flash sight picture, as all ways both eyes open, great sights.
But I am not paying the extra cost for what was supposed to be an upgrade!
Be a long time for the sneaky 12 year rule comes in to play! At 92 maybe not a problem?
