TruGlo TFX Pro Night Sights for Glock
Yes, you should buy the TruGlo TFX Pro night sights for Glock if you need a single sighting system that works perfectly in all light conditions. These are the best hybrid sights you can get for the money, combining a bright fiber optic for day with a self-illuminating tritium vial for night. The TFX Pro gives you a fast, clear sight picture whether you’re at the range or on duty, making it a top choice for a defensive or competition Glock.
Who These Glock Sights Are For
- The Defensive Shooter: You need sights that are instantly visible in a dark bedroom or a bright parking lot. The TFX Pro’s always-on tritium and daytime fiber optic ensure your sight alignment is never a question.
- The Practical Competition Shooter: You compete in USPSA or IDPA and want a distinct, high-visibility front sight for rapid transitions without relying on weapon-mounted lights.
- The “One Gun” Owner: Your Glock 19 or 17 is your do-everything tool for home, car, and range. You need a rugged, set-and-forget sighting system that performs reliably for years.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Illumination System: The green fiber optic tube gathers ambient light for a brilliant daytime dot. At night, the green tritium vial glows independently for 12+ years, eliminating the need for a light source to see your sights.
- Focus Lock Ring Front Sight: A proprietary white ring surrounds the fiber optic, creating exceptional contrast against dark targets. This design pulls your eye directly to the front post for faster sight acquisition.
- Fortress Finish Steel Construction: These aren’t plastic. The steel housing is finished to resist holster wear, corrosion, and impact far better than factory polymer sights or cheap aluminum alternatives.
- U-Notch Rear with White Outline: The clean, wide U-notch provides ample light on either side of the front post. The white outline frames the notch, offering a secondary visual reference for quick alignment.

Common Questions
Do these fit a Glock 43X or 48?
No. This specific model (TG-13GL1PC) is for standard double-stack 9mm/.40/.357 SIG models like the G17 and G19. The slimline G43X/48 use a different dovetail size. Check our Handguns category for compatible models.
How bright is the tritium at night?
It’s a crisp, green glow that’s clearly visible in a pitch-black room. It’s not a flashlight beam, but a consistent, self-powered dot that lets you see your sights on a target. It’s the industry standard for night sights.
Can I install these myself?
You can, but you need a quality sight pusher. Using a punch and hammer risks damaging the tritium vials or the slide’s finish. If you’re not comfortable, have a gunsmith do it—it’s a 10-minute job for them.
Are these good for competition?
Absolutely. The bright green fiber optic is fantastic for daytime matches. The wide U-notch allows for a fast, forgiving sight picture. Many shooters run these in Carry Optics or Production divisions. For other competition upgrades, browse our Triggers.
