4. TRUGLO TFX Pro Tritium/Fiber Handgun HK VP9 Sight
Truglo TFX and TFX Pro are two of the most used sights on pistols. If we are talking about night sights, Truglo will come in the conversation always. There is a good reason for that as well. While this is not a VP9 red dot, it’s a sight for VP9 nonetheless.
Construction of night-sight is a fascinating subject. There are always two or more materials used in the process. First, we got the tritium fiber glow stick. Those sticks are then covered with an aluminum cylinder. Later, that cylinder is covered with polymer, rubber, aluminum, etc.
The bottom line, Truglo TFX Pro construction is as good as it’s possible.
It comes in a pair of two. One front sight and one rear. Night sights are model specific in case you didn’t know. You need to purchase the one made specifically for your gun. The front sight of this is orange-colored tritium and the back is green. Two color combinations might seem weird on paper but it’s not. It won’t take much time to get used to them.
Will this fit on HK VP9?
Yes, they will fit on the VP9 perfectly fine.
Are these difficult to install?
If this is your first time installing a pair of sight, they can be rather tedious. It becomes easier as you do it on more guns or with more pair of sight.
Are they clearly visible in the night?
Yes, they are visible during the night. I mean, they are made to serve that purpose.

5. Trijicon Night/ Suppressor Sights/HK Bright for H&K Vp9
Simple night sights are sometimes everything you need. They are light, durable, visible during night and day, and cheap. What more could you ask for in a sight? Right?
Trijicon Night Sight is made from 2 different materials. Guarding the fiber is an aluminum cylinder and guarding the cylinder huge rubber armor. Together, they protect the light source and keep the sight unscratched.
Tritium provides a battery-free instant glow-in-the-dark solution. You don’t need to worry about changing the battery or carrying replacements. Each of the tritium is capped with sapphire jewels. Making them extremely bright and durable.
Will they fit on VP9?
This particular model right here will fit many guns made by Heckler and Koch including VP9.
Does it get enough bright to work at night?
It gets bright enough to see the target. It won’t get as bright as a digital night vision scope. But it gets bright enough to get the job done.
Will the Tritium degrade over the years?
Tritium isn’t eternal. It will dim down as time passes. If that happens, you can easily replace the glowstick by buying a spare pair from Trijicon.
6. HIVIZ HKLW11 H&K Litewave Rear Sight fits HK VP9
HKLW11 is a rear night sight that fits HK45/P30/VP9. HIVIZ makes night sights for almost all popular handguns. VP9 is one of them. HKLW11 is a single-piece rear sight with a tritium glow stick.
Unlike other sights that come with stock glowsticks, HIVIZ includes red, black, and green replaceable LitePipes. Depending on what color you fancy, you might want to switch things around.
Replacing the pipes is quite easy. Perhaps the easiest replacement system in any night sights. Tritium chemicals are held inside an injection molded housing. Keeping the original color and vibrance along the way.
Those sticks are then protected by a housing made out of solid steel. There is no aluminum cylinder involved here. To be honest, you don’t need that here either. The material used here is quite thick and durable.

GTO has laser sights compatible with many other guns. But don’t try to use this on other models. High-chance you will fail miserably.
One of the best features of a laser sight is getting activated by gripping the gun. You don’t need to press anything, just grip the gun and the laser gets activated. That’s present in this sight as well. Laser has a matte black finish to compliment your pistol. It blends in well with the pistol as well.
A great benefit of this laser is the installation process. It’s a straightforward process. Even if this is your first time installing a laser on a pistol, you won’t have any issues whatsoever.
