They should all be fairlyneasy to zero in. Both trijicon and eotech you can use flat head screw drivers or a coin to adjust the sights. Aimpoint and eotech will be the easiest for getting your eyes on the sight being they are both holographic/red dot styles unless you get an additional magnifier. The trijicon will take more time and will need to be placed further up or down your rails depending on how much eye relief you need.

My buddy who was a marine (best shooting scores in his platoon) swears up and down by the trijicon and does nothing but hate on my eotech. Im the opposite I wont/dont hate on trijicon but ill swear by my eotech.

Really boils down to if you want magnification or not. I have a flip to side 3x sitting behind my eotech so if I want the magnification ive got it. If I dont want it I just pop the magnifier off to the side. Trijicons dont require batteries, eotechs do but you should get a VERY long battery life out of each battery.. to the point where I wouldnt even take battery life into consideration

Thanks. The tritium in the Trijicon decays so it gets dimmer over the years too.
I've read some reviews about how tough these are so I guess I'm a little less worried about that now. I will add flip up iron sight as well.

Alright pistol boys!...... What tool are you guys using to remove rear sights from Glocks...MGW?... Is there a good universal one out there that could be used for multiple sights of diff manufactures?
8zeros 12:53 PM 02-12-2014
Brothers in NY, fear not! Your guns are far less evil now.
I see room for improvement on the design. Hmmm....

Gun show this weekend down here, hoping I can make it out and shop for a new CCW pistol. Have a mental list of a few guns to check out, still not sure what I'm going to end up with. So far I'm thinking a micro 1911, HK P2000, compact M&P or XD, Glock 36 or 30S, or another Kahr subcompact. My wife has taken my Kahr PM9 so I need a replacement, my Kimber pro is a lot of gun to carry in the summers when I'm wearing a Tshirt and shorts, and my Makarov is heavy and fast mag changes are a PITA.

If anyone has other suggestions for a small carry piece in 9mm, .40, or .45 I'd appreciate it!

Nice, my wife wants to check out that new Glock .380 hard to find though :-)

Brian,
While I love my Shield in 9mm, I am dreaming of of an XDs in my future to replace my LCP when I want to carry something more compact.

Mike,
While Glock makes me drool, that .380 was a bad fart on their part if you ask me.
They should have made that a 9mm. It is way too big for a .380.

I thought about it, but I really want to buy something chambered in a caliber I already own, so .380 is out.

I've heard great things about the XDS too, just need to see how it feels in hand.

Gotcha, thanks. I keep telling her if she wants a .380 the Sig is way cool :-)
