After flipping the mental coin as to which subcompact 9mm to get (choices were too many), I decided on a Glock 43X. It's arriving this week.
Any suggestions as to which companies make decent sights? Since it will be one of my carry pieces, the idea of new sights appeals to me, especially if firing it in low light conditions. I've settled on a "V" style rear sight coupled with a larger colored "Dot" front sight for quick target acquisition and would prefer metal sights (assume the Glock 43X has plastic sights).
A few months back, I ordered some Shield 15 rd mags and one of their metal mag release buttons. Once the sights are ordered and get here, I can take the pistol to my gunsmith to have the mag release button and sights installed in one visit. Thanks guys!
Works for me. I’m getting used to blacked out rears as I slowly transition everything to red dots. I ordered a 43X MOS recently. When it comes it I will just use a sharpie on those sights.
I have some Night Fision orange front / black rear night sights for a G43X that I don't need. They have three tritium dots. Also have a Shield RMSc I don't need.

I just got my G43x, and had three dot trijicon sights on it. When I was policing my duty gun had them, and my prior EDC G19 has them. I figured I’d stick with them.
My STI Edge has a set of fiber front sights, but I don’t carry it for CCW.

The Pro i-Dot dot-over-dot from Ameriglo had been my go-to since they first went live. But as my eyes have reached the point of unfocusing thanks to the ever present reality of aging, I've been using the Hackathorn style of sights on more of my defensive pistols and very much preferring their lack of focusing emphasis on the rear sight.

but I put XS sights on a couple of SIG's, big white ball (with tritium insert) on the front,, and shallow V with small tritium insert in the center of the V
I have Ameriglos on mine. If I did it again I would probably upgrade, to me, to XR’s Trijicon style. The Ameriglos are very good though.
I would stay away from any gimmick, ie a triangular rear with a huge dot front. You sacrifice any pinpoint accuracy and any real longer range accuracy.
