TruGlo fiber/trillium sights

I'm considering adding night sights to my XDS. The TruGlo pro with fiber for daytime and trillium for night seems a perfect set up (although I realize nothing is perfect). Do any of you guys have any experience with them? How did you like them. If not and you have trillium sights what did you go with a how do you like them?

Not trying to be a jerk, but it's tritium, not trillium. Trilliums are flowers. Tritium is radioactive.
No experience with the tritium, so I couldn't help you there. But trilliums, got a fair amount of experience with those, should you have further questions.

I have the TruGlo Pro on three handguns; Glock 21; Glock 32 and S & W Shield 45ACP. They are good quick target acquisition sights but at the same time they are large and somewhat imprecise. You will find a big, bold front sight sitting over what might be a pretty small target area.

I prefer the sights from Dawson Precision, as they are, more precise.

That's good information, thanks

Got the TruGlo pro tfx. So far I'm quite pleased with them. Plenty bright at night and kept the fiber optic that I like for daytime. The quality seems really good. Thanks for the input.

I have Truglo TFX Pro sights on my FNX-45 & my FN 509. I have been very pleased with them in almost all situations. Be aware that they do have some limitations: The fiber optics don't work nearly as well in artificial light as they do in natural sunlight. That can be a little hard to get used to in lower light indoor situations where it is too dim to clearly see the sights, but not dark enough for the tritium night sights to kick in.

Except for that one specific circumstance, they are an excellent addition to a pistol and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.
