Trijicon HD XR Night Sights - Top Quality Sights That Really Stand Out!

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

Excellent review. I have these sights on my duty weapon (G19) and my off duty carry (S&W Shield 9). Love these sights! I even qualify with a higher score with the HD XRs.

[@siksika4603]

I've had trijicon sights on my 226 for about 11 years now. They still glow on the nightstand next to my bed so much that I can reach for a glass of water and not need the lights on...no bullshit...They're worth the money

[@siksika4603]

I'm not saying they make the whole night table glow. I'm saying that you can see the reflection of the sites in the water glass, glass not plastic. Just wanted to make that clear

[@InSightFreedom]

Good stuff. Defensive use vs target use is a great differentiation. Learning the more natural muscle reactions of drawing to pushing out grip, acquiring site and into trigger pull for center of mass in a fluid natural motion for CCW is so important. I agree these big tritium sites really help with that. Good video as usual.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you InSight! Yeah, I used to try to be super accurate when I competed but I’ve realized that I prefer spending time on front sight acquisition and getting rounds down range. Plus, I am really impatient and shooting slow just isn’t as much fun, lol. Cheers brother!

[@rickm4295]

I just bought mine ! HD XR yellow. I have to get them installed but im sure looking forward to it. The white 3 dots on my M&P 2.0 compact are difficult to see without squinting like crazy (im old). Cant wait !!

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

HDs on my G19 and G43. They are excellent, so good I switched from big dots to the HDs.

[@willws2conceptsshephard]

WickedSensation love the HD’s almost like cheating how easy it is to acquire front sight

[@KSGunGuy01]

Nice Wicked! They seem to just be very easy to pick up and run, especially when shooting quickly. Definitely my preferred sights! Thank you and cheers brother!

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Shep 24 I don’t even feel guilty cheating with he HDs 😬

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

KSGunGuy agreed.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Lol, no shame in cheating at all! Cheers Shep!

[@chaoticcaninejb]

Really enjoy your reviews, very fair and nuetral, not trying to sell a product and or promoting it, just facts with your personal touch. Comes across raw, yet professional. Agree or Disagree I never feel your filling us a line of BS like others. In this case, I agree with this review wholeheartedly!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Razor, that is so nice of you and it means a ton brother! I enjoy sharing these types of videos with everyone. As for the sights, they work well for my style of shooting, but thankfully there are a lot of great options out there. Cheers brother!

[@180SecondIdeas]

Nice work here, brother! I just installed a set of these on my G19 and boy do I like them. Great channel, keep em coming!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks Johnny! Agreed, they are awesome sights for sure. Cheers brother!

[@smck8623]

I have the HD xr on my 19 and they are some of if not the best sights I’ve used!

[@KSGunGuy01]

I can’t argue with you there SMCK! Really easy to pick up day or night. Thank you and cheers!

[@Dberesford10]

The yellow color has now been proven scientifically to be picked up by the eye many times quicker than the red. In fact EOtech's brand new holographic scope that came out last year is green.

[@ICECOLDOUTDOORS]

I had HDs on my Glocks for a few years until I started trying out other sights. I really like a thin front sight, so I'm really glad they started doing that.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome Nodak! I agree, the thinner front post is a great improvement. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@SmileNDenile]

"I'm not the most accurate shooter" as he carves out the center mass at max range lol

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks for saying that! It was a rare day at the range. Cheers!

[@cd4playa1245]

These KZbin guys realize there are insane pros out there yet they want to help us with their product reviews. So most of them are good but they don't Bob Vogel embarrassing them if they ever meet him in person.

[@iAmNyC718]

Trijicon HD xr... The best sights on the market.. Have them on all my firearms..

[@KSGunGuy01]

I agree, they are top shelf sights for sure. Thank you and cheers!

[@RelaxedpiperYoutube]

Looks like good shooting to me tex, lol, thanks for the review. I'm looking hard at them.

[@JWbabyshark]

Good videos. Thanks for the close up on the different colors.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much! Cheers!

[@theunchartedtrucker1113]

Great review, I love the honesty of all your reviews instead of trying to push a particular product or products like some others. I don't have any HD sights but I was wondering if you liked the yellow or the orange sight better. I already know I would rather have the new HD XR's because I prefer more space in the sights kind of like the factory PPQ sights have.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Trucker! As for the colors, either one will do great but I prefer the yellow. It’s a tiny bit easier to see in low light. Thank you and cheers!

[@sergiocerdajr7995]

Another great review brother , i look forward to the next one and like you i do not mind paying for quality i do have the hd's on my shield and i think their are awesome for fast target acquisition . And thanks again for taking the time to share with all of us .

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Sergio! I agree about the fast acquisition with the HDs. They really pop! Happy to share with you guys and thank you very much for watching! Means a lot, brother. Cheers!

[@72cmcinc]

Nice review, I have both sights on a few different guns, very happy with them both!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much 72! They are excellent sights indeed. Cheers!

[@DannyBFishing]

Nice review. What do you have on you PPS M2? I dont like the stock ones and might just black out the back sights.

[@NolanOutdoors]

Great video KS! I think ill be putting XR's on my 2.0 Compact as well.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks Nolan! They are awesome and I highly recommend them brother. Cheers!

[@32icon]

Nice review, as always. Question: how have you set up your camera? It seems to be overhead with a tripod? I'm trying to find a better set up with my camera where I can get a good picture and look at what I'm filming at the same time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you 32! I use a Yi 4K Action camera and it sits between me and the table on a tripod. I have to wrap my arms around the tripod and a look around it all on the left side. I use my phone with the Yi app as a viewer so I can see what the camera sees and the phone sits just off camera on the left edge of the table. It’s decent but I want to upgrade everything at some point. I’d like to do a DSLR camera and shotgun mic. But for the money, that Yi is awesome. Thank you and let me know if you have other questions! Cheers

[@32icon]

Makes sense. Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm trying to find the best set up for the price and this info is helpful!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Glad to help!

[@ert-7112]

Excellent review. For the G19 gen4 I have Trijicons HD and for the VP9 the Truglo Tritium Pro, both are excellent, I love them both

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome ER and two of my favorite guns too! Both those sights are great and easy to pick up when shooting. Thank you ad cheers!

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Nice Review, I like the HD’s but I would like a slimmer front Blade, may ck out the XR Carry On

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome Big J! Thank you and cheers brother

[@robertsalyers1351]

I've never put aftermarket iron sights on my pistols but I'm considering getting these for one of my Glocks to test them out. What Glock should I try first? G26, G19, G47, or G43x Mos...all comments welcome

[@Juan0481]

Great review. Thanks!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much! Cheers!

[@joelohms2629]

Good review.Ive had the regular hd's on a few guns and I went with the orange because the yellow tends to wash out in glaring conditions,at least in my experience.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you Joel! That makes sense about the Yellow sights. Cheers!

[@fumasterchu12]

I've had good luck with Trijicon in the past, but I don't think I've tried this particular model. Good stuff brother, have a great day!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Fu! They really are great and so easy to pick up when shooting! Cheers brother

[@carolinasheepdog713]

Awesome review as always KS! I like the I dot pros but I will have to at least give the XRs a look for my 2.0 compact. Sure wish they would make some for CZ though.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Dale! I appreciate that brother. Those I dots are great too. Just picked some up for the Shield 2.0. As for the CZ... that would be awesome and hopefully they will do it. Thank you and cheers!

[@milehighed52801]

Both of those provide a nice sight picture. (Nice camera work BTW with the clarity of the sights and rolled-in window.) I like the flat, serrated rear sights with the blacked out look. That really helps with front sight acquisition in regular lighting. I'm probably going to put the HD XR's on my M2.0's after I get the Apex triggers installed. My G19 unfortunately still has the lousy stock sights on it. But I think I'll stick with Meprolight's 3 dot Tritium night sights, as I already have them installed on my G17 and G21 for consistency sake. They're good night sights as they are very bright, brighter than most. However, I haven't compared them against the HD's yet, but the HD XR's will most likely be on my M2.0's. Thanks for the review on these babies!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks MileHigh! I agree, the fast acquisition is great with the XRs. When it comes to upgrading, it can be pretty costly to do them all at once so I totally understand the G19 sights, Meprolights are great options and very cost effective. I've been using them for years! Cheers brother!

[@cfh13]

Ordered the HD XRs last week, should be here tuesday (early birthday gidt to myself). My first after market sights. Excited to switch them out.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome! Thank you and cheers!

[@leedew59]

I run the standard HD on almost all my pistols. I prefer the orange. With my old eyes and needing reading glasses (to read) I found I prefer the standard HD as that front sight is not "clear" when presenting my pistol even though I'm focusing on it and not my target. The new narrower style are harder for me to focus on...

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you for sharing Lee! That makes sense about preferring the original HDs to the new ones. I really like the yellow but the orange works well too. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@drewmorg.]

Got the yellow based on a bunch of people saying they were "better" .... but wish I went with the orange. I had orange Ameriglos which were so much easier to see!

[@martingarcia2265]

This goes for anyone who’s used both the HDs and HDXRs. In your honest opinion which model would be ideal for self defense? Ik most encounters would be real close anyways but if you had to pick only one which would it be? TIA

[@shaunn7778]

Good looking sights

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Shooter! Cheers

[@PatriotGearReviewsCt]

I love these sights but I want to remove them but that $150 I spent 🤬. The problem is the rear sight leans over the rear of the slide and it’s uncomfortable appendix carry because it’s sharp. If you carry appendix I’d choose something else unless you have kydex that covers the rear sight against your body

[@sonnygunz9207]

Put these on my 2.0c on day two of ownership. Wish I had them on all my guns. Thanks for the video.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome Sonny! It’s a great combo for sure. I think it’s a much needed upgrade and the XRs are awesome. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@sonnygunz9207]

KSGunGuy Thank you for what you do sir.

[@KSGunGuy01]

It’s a pleasure Sonny!

[@cia290]

Changing all my sights over to HDs wish the XR would have been out when I started but they were not so going with the standard. Just need suppressor height HD sights now

[@KSGunGuy01]

Those HDs aren't bad either. I run them in several guns and still love them. Thank you and cheers!

[@DD-sw1dd]

On sale now on Amazon for $100. The yellow HD’s that is. Already own the orange on a G19. Learned from experience that, for me, the yellow actually contrasts way better than the orange. Certain times of the day the orange slightly blends with the background when in the outdoors. I guess bc ppl instinctively think the orange will show better since it’s iconic for that roll. That was my reasoning anyway. Anyways. Yellow Trijicon HD GL101Y’s on sale at Amazon for $100. Compatible with all Glock 9mm aside from MOS versions. Think their are 8 left. Purchased a set for my G45.

[@scottf.3808]

Nice review as seem like some nice sights....Good stuff...

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Scott! Always a pleasure brother!

[@gagunshooting803]

Trijicon HD sights are great I have them on one of my G19's. I have TruGlo on my other Glocks.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome Gerald! They are both great and easy to pick up while shooting. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@huey7437]

Thanks for the review! I’ll be looking at the XR’s. Have you heard of the Grip Force RTS rear sights that match up with the trijicon HD front sight? The RTS rear has different angles designed to further drive your eyes to the front post. You should look jnto those and do a review.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you Huey! I am not familiar with the RTS rear sights but you have me intrigued! I will definitely look into them. Thank you again and cheers brother!

[@ryanhowe9850]

Did your XR come with a set screw? Mine didn’t for rear sight & factory one doesn’t fit

[@Youngguns173SW]

Ive put these on mine but with the orange frt. Good choice.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome Youngguns! Can’t go wrong with either color. So easy to pick them up and run. Thank you as always and cheers brother!

[@ontarget7582]

I haven't used them but the truglo look like they would be easy to pick up quickly

[@KSGunGuy01]

TruGlo makes some great sights indeed! Thank you and cheers

[@michaeledwards7668]

Ameriglo Spaulding CAP sights are the best defensive sights imo.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I’m not familiar with them but you’ve got me curious! I’ll check them out. Thank you and cheers Michael!

[@shawnm9626]

Trigicon is too rich for me lol, I've gone with the ameriglo's on a few of my carry pistols, they are just as good imo and a lot cheaper. Good video as always dude!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Well said Shawn! Both are fantastic indeed. It would be great to see Trijicons come down in price. Maybe if we hound them enough! Thank you and cheers brother!

[@cd4playa1245]

I hear the rear sight is real sharp. Did you find that to be true?

[@KSGunGuy01]

Yes, it definitely is! Thank you and cheers!

[@cd4playa1245]

KSGunGuy oh dang. Did you sand it down at all? May I ask how you carry and is it uncomfortable?

[@KSGunGuy01]

I actually don’t carry that one but when I do carry with those sights, I just deal with the occasional stabbing, lol.

[@cd4playa1245]

KSGunGuy haha just occasionally? Oh that's good!

[@geoffbyrne9884]

I disagree with the statement that glock does not come out off the box with anything good Yes they are not a competition gun but they are a dam good and reliable fighen gun As we all know or should know that’s what they are designed for I think some people try to take the glock out off the glock to much

[@KSGunGuy01]

Well said! Thank you and cheers!

[@escapetherace1943]

Thank you for not making your shield girly with all those dorky hyve attachments, the gun needs nothing at all and sights are just an option

[@jefffleser7632]

They are really nice sights . I have been going with ameriglo I dot pros they are quite a bit cheaper

[@KSGunGuy01]

That makes sense Jeff! The Trijicon sights are awesome but you do pay a hefty price. It’s great that we have so many choices! Thank you and cheers brother

[@mikemanthe]

I’ve been using the HD XRs (Orange) for a while now on my G19. I finally got my hands on a 19X (been wanting one for a while!) and I had not planned on replacing the sights since it comes with Glock (metal) factory night sights out of the box. Well...I think I held out for maybe 2 weeks before I broke down and put a set on the 19X. I know sights are a somewhat personal thing. These just happen to suit me perfectly in every way. I have Truglo and Ameriglo as well on a couple of others - but the XRs just really stand out for me and have effectively spoiled me 😉

[@dbbuster1238]

do you still prefer using the XRs? i'm on the fence about buying them

[@geoffbyrne9884]

Don’t try the old hammer and punch method on night sights sight pusher only way to go

[@KSGunGuy01]

Good advice. Thank you and cheers!

[@audiophocus65]

Glock doesn't come stock with anything good out of the box. That's why people spend another G to upgrade them. Glock perfection? Hey Glock fan boys, the new Glockphone 6 is coming out soon.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I can’t wait to see a Glock phone! Thank you and cheers!

Do they make these for Taurus G2C

[@ruzzellp]

For a defensive handgun, I prefer XS Big Dot sights.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I’ve only shot the XS sights a couple of times but know several people who swear by them. I understand that they are incredibly easy to pick up, especially when shooting at shorter distances. Thank you for sharing and cheers!

When it comes to Trijicon I believe the HD stands for Heavy Duty not High Definition . Idk like it matters .
