"best" (brightest) night sight for a p7m8

[JibbaJabba]

Wanted to see what everyone thought of which sights were the brightest for a p7m8. Looking for something lower profile if possible.

Was hoping someone would chime in :(

Most are the same because they use the same Tritium vials.

I prefer Trijicon over Meprolight simply because they have the white rings around the vials which aid in daylight sighting.

There is one brand, I can't recall what brand... that uses the day-glo sticks AND Tritium vials so you have bright day glow sights as well as luminescent night sights.

Trugo makes TFO sights. TFO = tritium fiber optic. Limited selection for HK products.

Meprolight sights have white rings around them too, and they are actually supposed to be more durable than Trijicon because Meprolight uses a plastic white ring around their vials where as I've read Trijicon uses a paint. This could be internet lore since I have no Trijicon's, but my Meps are definitely NOT paint.

Obviously the factory night sights are the best. Mine are still glowing after some 15 years. :D

But seeing as you can't buy those seperate, I would go with Trijicon who has P7 night sight sets in their product line. This means they won't be a "special order" item like I am assuming other companies would say. However, keep in mind that Trijicon makes two different heights for their P7 sights, a long and a short, and you must match them up to the stock sights to get the right ones for your pistol. Otherwise the pistol will never shoot properly.

Good tip, thanks.


As for the TFO's i dont think they make them for the p7 (id love to have a pair tho).
