The reason for me asking this question is because the tritium night sights on my Sig P are getting dimmer already and I am debating between these 2 night sights on which to get. Thanks in advance. I think the vials are the same. They are regulated under the DOE so I believe only one facility makes the tritium. I have had both Trijicon and Meprolight. Truthfully, I have never noticed a difference and have not drawn a preference.

One has a smoother vial face than the other less prone to getting trapped dirt and that is the only difference I know of. Meprolights tend, in my experience, to have larger, easier to see white outlines around the tritium vials, and always seemed "brighter" in both full and reduced light, but that may just be a perceptual weirdness on my part.

The VERY visible front sight mated to a U-notch rear is much faster to acquire in a variety of lighting situations, and worth a strong look. HOWEVER, I really think the "pick of the litter" in NS right now is the Ameriglo "Pro" front I prefer the orange outline mated to an Operator rear with yellow vials, and, if I'm reading Ameriglo's site properly, that's a setup that could be ordered - if not offered as a "standard" option.
