Questions & Answers

Could it not be difficult to target accurate in the dark if the rear sight is all black?

The rear sight has to be visible for you to see your target as well. It has become second nature to me to line up the front sight in the rear sight opening once the gun is drawn from the holster in virtually total Yet by no means would I fire in such circumstances unless there were no other options. As soon as I activate my rail- system I'll proceed as follows My G19 is now equipped with a light. This is a fantastic set of sites at this point.

What version of the Glock 23 Gen 4 will these fit?

Yes, of course

What is the mounting position of these on the back of a G19 gen 5 MOS? In the MO, the rear sight channel is in a higher position. Having an appendix is a big deal for me. ?

I have installed the MOS on a 19 gen 5 board. At the bottom of the rear sight plane is a flush surface of the backplate. The serrations on the serrations on the front sight plane angle back slightly, but don't extend further than a 16th of an inch. It is a rear sight that follows the overall lines of the gun very well and extends the sight radius as far as possible while being a durable and practical sight.

Can this be used to fit a tarsus on a GX4?

I would assume that it will not fit anything other than a Glock since the site specifically states Glock products.

There are a lot of beautiful sights out there, but these are some of the best
5/5

This really is a great deal for some of the best sights out there, and the price is almost too good to be true. As a police officer and a law enforcement firearms instructor, I can speak with authority and expertise on my subject. On my backup Glock 43 as well as on my duty gun (a Glock 17) I installed these sights. My preferred rear sight is just a plain serrated blade, so there is no need for dots on the rear blade, the rear notch is just there for the front sight to fit into, and only serves to confuse the eyes in an attempt to obtain a rapid sight picture. On my Glock 34, which I use for competitive shooting in USPSA, I have a similar set up. Optical sights of this type provide just enough space around the front sight for the shooter to view the target through the rear blade in order to verify that the sights are aligned and on target. Although it's really a matter of personal preference, for one, I do NOT like a bulky blade and a narrow rear notch that completely obscure the target when they are aligned. Upon looking at the orange front sight, your eyes are immediately drawn to it! When you are in low light conditions, you will not have to figure out which one of the three dots is the front sight, as that is a fairly common situation. As I mentioned, sights are a personal preference thing, but in my opinion this is one of the best setups out there, and given how cheap they are, I would vote for them as my top.

3/5

International Arms is a crook. Do not buy from them. Assuming that I was allowed to choose 0 stars, I would have done so. This is a Hackathorn sight designed for a Glock 30S, with AmeriGlo GL-98 dual illumination! This item came from International Arms and matched the item described on Amazon. A flashlight with a Glock Classic pattern and AmeriGlo GL-E1 LED was received as a gift. Some of these sights were for many models, EXCEPT for the AmeriGlo GL- is printed on a paper label that affixed to the original package The Hackathorn Sight is on 433 Hackathorn Street. It is not possible to return the item when trying to return it Material marked as hazardous that can be returned. I had to contact Amazon to get A refund was obtained and I was told to keep sights which I didn't need and did not A good example of why Amazon Prime is costing more and more every year is this. A refund and/or replacement should be provided by International Arms. That's shabbiness at its finest.

A great weapon to defend yourself with and for duty
5/5

The sights that I enjoy the most. The trijicon is what they put on you in law enforcement, so I used to use that. Additionally, they taught us to close one eye when we shot, but that is not what you should do in a high-stress situation! Therefore, I conducted my own research and picked up these sites on my own. In the left picture, you can see my older duty Glock 21 that I got a few years ago. As you can see, it has a set screw on the rear sight and an open hole at the front. I haven't had any loctite come loose even after a few thousand rounds. Make sure to loctite them both securely. The new version does not have a screw to secure the rear, and the sight does not have a hole that goes all the way through it. The only difference between them (aside from a few minor alterations to the side of the front sight) is the marking on the side of the sight. In my opinion, there is no point to having tritium in the rear sights, since it isn't easy to shoot at something you can't see! Bring your gun to life with a light! There are no words to describe how highly I recommend these.

A beautiful sight to behold
5/5

Using the Glock sight tool, I was able to mount the sights on my G17 gen 4. During the course of 400 rounds that I have fired through my 17 , I haven't experienced any issues. It is easy to pick up with a simple sight picture that allows me to focus on the front sight post even when it's low light. I have shot in bright daylight as well as in low light indoors and There is just enough color saturation in the Tritium dot in the middle for you to see it in total darkness, but if you want something really bright or sights with Tritium in the back, you may want to choose another In my search for the best all-around sights for my 17 that weren't expensive, easy to see, and quick to sight, I set out to find something that did all three. They are exactly what the doctor ordered. The product was very good and I would definitely buy it.

The price is too good to pass up! Those are the first set of ameriGlow sights I have owned
5/5

The G19 was used to install them. As well as Trijicon, TruGlo, the old white box and dot, I have used Trijicon, TruGlo, and Glock night sights. Having said that, I do believe that sights should be one of the first upgrades you make after you get the gun up to speed by shooting lots of lead and brass pellets. The installation process The process of putting them on yourself is very straight forward and simple. With a bit of patience and time, you can do it It did really help me to buy a sight push tool so that I could perform more simple upgrades myself. You can save a little money by doing it yourself. During construction There is only steel in it. The main thing that I look for when upgrading a sight is that. have a lot of strength. Low-light imaging of them is possible due to the tritium glow in them and the big orang dot is very fast. Unless you have a high garde and IWB carry, there is only one downside the rear sight rubs your skin on occasion if you don't wear a high garde. There is no big deal here. This is what is in We have seen them on the range in a few different environments, such as extremely sunny and overcast situations, low light conditions, and indoor conditions. Their performance in each of them is excellent. During daylight, they really stand out. I almost feel like I have a fiber optic front sight, but without the fragility. I've fired right around 1,500 rounds through the gun with these sights. For now, I will probably switch to a G17, just to see how they work. It's hard to find a better price than You will love them when you get.

It is a great sight for the G19, but it has Due to the price point, the set screw, and the function, I picked these up
4/5

The price point and function of this phone are still very appealing to me.

It was the set screw that caused the problem. There was no set screw on the sight that the picture showed, so I couldn't install and align the sights. I don't have a sight pusher, but the picture looked like there was a set screw. My sights were aligned with a wooden handle and hammer, and it took a couple of tries to get them in alignment with the Even though they're almost perfect there, I still ordered a sight pusher in order to make them even more precise. My other pistols will still need the sight pusher after I check them with my new bore sight. I got them close enough with the dowel, but after checking my other pistols with my new bore sight, a few will still require it. In summary, I would have given this a 5, if I hadn't been expecting a set screw. However, since I was expecting it, and not having one required more work, I gave this a 4 star.
