Focus59 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Using Scalarworks to mount my SRO or RMR so I’d like to get some night sights as they will be able to be visible by co-witness. I don’t see the best reviews for Meprolights. I’m surprised there aren’t more options for an M4. The Benelli drop in nigh sights are sold out, but I speculate that those are re-branded meprolights anyways. I wish trijicon made some drop ins. From what I’m finding I may go with XS front and Mepro rear. Thoughts? Am I missing any good options I should consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Tooltech Will machine your existing apertures for actual Trijicon lamps. Unfortunately they charge 250 dollars for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a link? http://tooltechgunsight.com/product-category/gunsights/benelli/ Shows front blade sight only. Probably have to call to ensure the ghost ring is included. Maybe SD knows for sure.

StrangerDanger Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Bird dog’s got the link. The price includes doing the rear sight also. Seems like they replace the rear sight rather than drill it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraBG Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I've used Tooltech before for installing factory Trijicon sights on the slides for some 1911 handguns and they did good work, were quick and easy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigfla Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I bought a set of these for my Beretta 1301. They are for Benelli but they also work on the Beretta. Don't have them yet but the reviews look good. https://www.blitzkriegcomponents.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1826 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts on the brightness of the tritium vials in the sights? I have heard reviews of people being disappointed with the lack or brightness of the Meprolight sights. I just recently had some Ameriglos installed on my Glock G45, and I regret waiting so long...they are very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Trijicon fan and I think they will be much better. I feel like for the price I paid they should have came with the proper nut.

And the bad part is, I took to long to put it on that the place I ought if from wouldn't let me send it back. But that was so long ago I don't even remember off hand who I bought it from. I would have to go through my old invoices to figure it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am curious about what people are saying about these. That appear to be out-of-stock at most locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
