I am looking to put night sights on my Shield 9mm. I am looking at the Ameriglo SW-745 night sights and the Trigicon HD sights. I have searched and searched and I have turned up empty on comparisons between these two.
I like the fact that the Ameriglo SW-745's have white rings around the rear sight for daytime use though I can't say that this is better or worse than the Trijicon HD's not having the white rings.
It is my understanding that Ameriglo uses Trijicon lamps.
I know that Trigicon warranties their sights for 12 years. I could not find warranty information on the Ameriglos. I have sent an email to them to find out.
The Trigicon HD's are significantly more expensive making me wonder what the difference are. I have also not had as much luck finding many reviews on the Ameriglo SW-745 sights.
I am aware that there are many other types of night sights and configurations, however, these being my first and being used to the three dot sight picture I figured it was better to stick with one of these than spending the money on something I am not used to and having difficulty using them.
Any input on the Ameriglo SW-745s or Ameriglo's in general compared to Trigicon would be very helpful.
