I'm looking to upgrade the sights on my XD9. Any suggestions? There are so many options out there, but personal experience is the best advertisement. Let me know what you think.

I just sent my slide for my XD40 Tactical back to Springfield to have the Springfield Custom Tritium sights installed. In a few weeks when I get them back I will let you know and post some pics. Remind me if I forget!

I use AmeriGlo's on my M&P

how are those troy?

 

the only night sights I have experience with are the ones that came standard on my hk p30. then again, I think they are high viz ones? and I light them.

 

Otherwise, the XD ones are not terrible...

Maks....

 

I like them.... I am only using the front, because I like a black rear sight, less distracting for me for normal daylight shooting.

 

The front glows great, and allows me to at least get a VERY good idea where the muzzle is pointed in a pitch black room, which is more then good enough for a "point" type self defense shot.

How much are they charging you for the upgrade? I have heard good things about the SA custom upgrade.

They look pretty good....how much does a smith usually charge to replace sights? Does anyone here do it?

I think it's about $130 with them installed and shipped, but I couldn't find a gunsmith willing to do it plus they void your lifetime warranty if it's not done by the SA Custom shop. I do my own Glock sights but these are supposed to require a hydrolic press. lol...

Definitely let me know how it comes out. Also I am assuming they adjust the new sights so they are spot on. Post pics when you get it back as you said you would 8-)

Did you finally get your XD back?

Not yet. Supposed to take a few weeks and then they ship it back according to the info.

Took 3 weeks just like they said. Came back with the slide bagged and placed in a nice hard case that will fit my LCP *perfectly*. I mean heck that's like some extra Springfield love right there!

 

The sights are nice, and solid. Trijicon Tritium Tubes in metal, bright silver when light, bright green when dark.

 

Hope these pictures remotely do them justice. I'm VERY happy I sent the slide back to get these installed!

Looks good. :clap: I think I am going to go ahead and finally get mine done.

Awesome, think I will send mine in as well. Better do it before winter ends. Don't want to be without it for a few weeks in the warm weather
