New Glock 43X inbound. Question about replacement sights
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!

I have this on my 43X.
AmeriGlo GL-436 Hackathorn Sight Set
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.
Not minority enough!

Took me awhile but I found a pic. I need to sort my online hosts better.

What are the Ameriglo front and black rear sights on the G43 Talo? Whatever model of each I find outstanding on my G43.

GL-351 Protector sight set. They are just like the Hackathorns that Chowser posted, except the rear sight has a U-notch instead of square notch.

+1 for Trijicon XR's. Works great on mine.

I'm using the Ameriglo Spartans on all my 43's (2x43's, and one 43X). The rounded edges make them a little easier to CCW.

I run Hacks on my G-19 and G-42. I also ran them on an M&P Shield. I had Spartans on my G-43 before I sold it.

Have the G43 Talo edition, popped the 43 on my 48 Frame for a 43X with the Talo top...

It’s much easier and faster for me to find three dot night sites in the dark than the front night sight and rear blacked out sights.
That being said pretty much any set is an upgrade from stock.

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.

I put Ameriglo Hackathorns on my G19 and G43x and like them a lot.

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.

no glock,
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.
