The great news is you have quite a few good quality options to choose from. With that in mind, we recommend sticking to a budget and only purchasing what you need. There’s no point in buying an expensive set of tritium night sights if all your Glock use is during daylight, right? Our review includes a variety of options that we think will satisfy everyone’s needs.

Magorui Glock Fiber Optic Front & Rear Sights

Materials – The Magorui front and rear sights are aluminum alloy sights. Unlike the majority of the sights on our list, these are fiber optic. You have the option of getting them in either green or red. They come with a permanent fortress finish coating that offers the most protection. It has a green dot night sight with a standard 6.5mm rear rail. These sights can fit various Glocks, excluding M.O.S. models: 17, 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 39. The Magorui front and rear sights are quick and easy to install, so you can easily swap them in place.

Performance – The fiber optics allow for the brightest aiming points even in low-light conditions. The concealed fiber design cannot be seen by the target. It is snag-resistant and fits standard holsters, so you don’t have to get a special holster. The sights are visible in all shooting conditions. These sights feature luminous materials to help aim and shoot in dark environments. Please note, however, that these sights do not work in a completely dark environment. Since they are not made for night vision, you still need some lighting.

What we say – The Magorui Glock Fiber Optic Front & Rear Sights are a very cheap option for sights. They fit various Glock models and are safe for holsters. These sights are visible in most shooting conditions except total darkness.

AmeriGlo Combative Application Pistol Sight

Materials – This first sight set is machined from bar steel iron and made in the United States. The set includes a front and rear sight, and they easily replace the original sights on your Glock 26. They can also accommodate a variety of other standard Glock models, including 19, 23, and 34. The front sight is a single dot with a bright green tritium insert. The insert is Swiss-made. Surrounding the tritium is a reflective orange square outline. The rear sight mimics the dovetail design on the original Glock sights. It also features a bright orange line, however there is no tritium inserts in the rear.

Performance – Not only is this the least expensive night sight option within this review, but you get the best of both worlds! It acts perfectly well as a night sight, thanks to that one tritium insert in the front sight. Having just the one will be cheaper to replace when the time comes to do so, and you won’t have to wait for two others to fizzle out either. The orange rings and dash system on the AmeriGlo sights are also some of the brightest and most reflective we’ve seen on any night sights. You won’t miss these, even in the dark! With only the one tritium insert, you may have a tougher time lining up your aim properly during extreme low light, but this is all about focusing on the front sight. That’s what the orange is there for – it’s more visible at night than white or yellow would be.

What we say – This is the best Glock 26 sight for anyone that likes the convenience of having only one tritium insert to monitor.

Trijicon Night Sight Set

Materials – This next night sight set for your Glock 26 is a full set of tritium sights. This includes a single tritium insert in the front sight and two tritium inserts in the rear. You can select from a variety of color options for the reflective, painted rings. All the sets include white rings on the rear sights, but the front sight is available with a matching white ring, a contrasting orange ring, or contrasting yellow right. Each tritium insert is capped with a sapphire jewel as a protective barrier and to evenly distribute light. Each insert is also installed within aluminum cylinders to protect the chambers.

Performance – Moving on to one of the more popular choices for night sights. Trijicon offers the full package with all three tritium inserts. This is also one of the most well-reviewed and most often purchased brands on the market. Trijicon is really dependable. If you’re going to spend a pretty penny on three tritium inserts, you should pick the brand that’s going to guarantee a solid decade of use. It’s also really helpful that you can choose your favorite reflective ring color all on the same seller page. If you tend to use your sights during more daytime use, stick to the white. Otherwise, the orange is a popular choice for nighttime. At the same time, it can be trickier to maintain three separate inserts.

What we say – These are one of the best Glock 26 sights for those who want all tritium inserts for self defense at night. Both the front and rear sights will be highly visible during any time of day.

Tru Glo Brite-Site TFX Sight

Materials – Tru Glo’s sight set for your Glock 26 includes a front and rear pair of sights. These do not house tritium inserts, but they use fiber optics instead. The front sight contains a single fiber optic, and it’s surrounded by a reflective orange painted right. It also has an angled edge to easily accommodate holsters and protect any leather. The rear sight features a u-notched shape with two green fiber optic inserts. There are no reflective rings around these inserts. The rear sight is also specially angled for emergency one-hand operations. Each piece has exposed tops to allow the owner to visibly see when the inserts need to be replaced.

Performance – If tritium isn’t your thing, then fiber optics are the next best step! They won’t do too much for you during the night, although they can be slightly visible. At the very least, you should get some reflection off the orange ring on the front sight. However, these sights will do wonders for you during the day. Plus, if you’re not a fan of Glock’s dovetail rear sight, this u-notch sight from Tru Glo is a fantastic shape for focusing on the front and, ultimately, your main target. Fiber optics are cheaper to replace and easier to get your hands on, but you’ll need to replace them more frequently than tritium. The special angles on both the front and rear sight are also worth taking advantage of.

What we say – These are the best Glock 26 sights for anyone who doesn’t require night sights but still appreciates the contrast between orange and green. These will also be great for your leather holster.

Our Favorite Glock 26 Sight

After some debate back and forth, we agreed that our favorite Glock 26 sight was Tru Glo Brite-Site TFX Sight. The build quality is superior to the others on the list, but it comes with a higher price tag. With this sight, it will be easy to focus your line of vision and quickly acquire your target. Now if you are a bit more budget conscious like I am, then the best budget buy is the Magorui Glock Fiber Optic Front & Rear Sights. For less than $40 you get the job done.
