Default Re: Most durable night sights for a carry gun?

I wouldn't think cycling the slide on your belt would have any detrimental effect on any set of night sights.

If you're looking for a set of sights that have a profile that permits belt-assisted one handed cycling, take a look at Heinie, Warren and 10-8 sights.

If you don't like the stock night sight config, any of these without tritium inserts can have tritium implanted by tool-tech.

One thing to consider is the manner in which the ampules are embedded into the sight. Some are encased in aluminum and swaged into place (my preference) while some are epoxied. Some say that solvents and such can attack the epoxy compound.
