That's what I have.Green/Green?
I just viewed a DVD put out by Crimson Trace. Hopefully, one day I will be able to get CT grips for my XD-45. In the DVD, one of the gun pros, I believe it was Hackathorn, said night sights are really not a good idea on a defense gun, compared to laser sights, as you must bring the gun up to eye level for them to be effective. Laser sights can be used to m the handgun in many circumstances where night sights would be useless. If you want night sights, that is up to you. That is what makes America great, choice. For me, however, vision and other considerations make laser sights a better option.
Trijicon, Meprolight and Glock get their saphires from the same place. Only difference is in the housing. I like the low profile of the Trijicon and Glock sights. The Meprolight rear sight has an extra groove in it where dirt and debris can get caught. Not sure why it's there, but don't like it.

For starters, shots don't always hit "point of aim". Point of impact will vary at various distances. The ideal range for laser sights is 50 feet, as this is how they come "sighted in" from the factory. As most SD trainers are aware, you are likely to use your firearm for SD at a range between 7 - 21 feet. The point of impact of laser sights will be a lot different at 7 feet than it would be at 21 feet.
Unlike laser sights, night sights don't require batteries so you won't have to worry about a "short circuit" if your firearm gets wet or the batteries running down. There are numerous advantages for both
Be safe, happy shooting!gf
Keep in mind that a great number of LE agencies issue firearms with night sights. You don't hear much about firearms issued with "laser sights"
Contrary to the beilef of some on this sight, laser sights have serious limitations. For starters, shots don't always hit "point of aim".

There are numerous advantages for both, but given a choice, I'd take night sights over laser sights.
I have the Truglo tritium fiber optic front sight on my Sig P229 Equinox. The rear is the Siglite night sight. They make a good combination.
One benefit of night sights that I really enjoy is the ability to locate and correctly pick up my pistol in a completely dark room.
I have TruGlo TFOs on all my XDs and have never had a problem with them at all.
