My current primary handgun arrangement is a G26 for CCW and a G17 for home defense. The G26 is my favorite Glock, and if I had to choose only one, it would be the G26. That said, I like the grip size and handling characteristics better on the G17, and think that it makes an all around better house gun (especially for the wife) than the G26. Now forgive me for the long winded post, but here is my somewhat silly insecure dilemma... I have a couple of quick access safes. One sits bedside. I’ve made a habit of using the bedside safe for my CCW G26 because it is convenient at the end of the day to just take the G26, and place it in this safe. As a result, the G26 ends up being the gun that I would most easily access if something goes “bump in the night”. The G17 in contrast sits in another fast access safe, about 10ft from the bed. I’ve decided for a number of reasons, but the two most primary being, mag capacity and comfort, to switch the location of these two pistols so that the G17 sits bedside. My dilemma is this, I like the fact that the G26 is equipped with night sights (the G17 is not). I like the night sights in low light conditions. I also like the fact that if I decided to leave the safe open during the night that I can easily ascertain the location/position of the gun because of the glowing sights, without an outside light source. Other than the night sight issue, I’d much prefer the new arrangement. I know that I could have night sights put on the G17, but I like the factory Glock sight picture. My question is, other than what I’ve already mentioned, is there really any significant advantage to night sights in a home defense scenario? I know that night sights are supposed to help you more easily acquire a sight picture in a darkened scenario, but I wonder if this is really necessary. Also, I’ve wondered if the night sights could in fact give away your location. I figure the likelihood of this would be remote, but it would seem possible nonetheless. I would appreciate your opinions of the “necessity” of night sights on a defensive house gun, as well as, your opinions on the new arrangement of my guns. I’m leaning toward thinking the pros of the new arrangement outweigh the night sight issue. Do you view night sights as necessary, or really beneficial? I would appreciate your thoughts, Doug.
