Help me pick some new sights!

[167]

I like the BattleHook sights. They are available from Brownells or straight from BattleHook.

I think this has a lot of potential...

Who makes that? I can't get the link to load.

That looks like the answer but it appears to not be available?

I have no idea if he'll ever make another or if he already has it patented and in production to make a million a week. I'd prefer the latter and I'm sure he would, too.

Todd, I have been reading your posts from your Glock 17 test. You went through a number of sights. Looking back, what do you think worked best for you?

CAP front (orange), Pro Operator rear(wide, no outline around trit lamps).

Also, I'm glad you are on the mend and back on the forum. This place was not the same without your contributions.

Thanks. Things weren't the same without you guys, either!

Three aiming points, Todd? Top edge of sight (precision), tritium vial (speed), bottom of sight JUST over a "U" shaped rear notch (distance)?

I do not believe it was intended to work with a U-notch rear but I could be mistaken. I like to use the trit lamp as my aiming point but the orange up to the edge would make alignment easier. The whole orange line would be my "speed" sight.

If anybody has been down a similar road and can point in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

After a bit of experimenting, I've found my favorite setup (so far). 10-8 Performance .156" rear, paired up with an Orange .220" Ameriglo Pro-Glo front.
POA/POI is dead on at 25yds with both my 19 and 17.

The .156 for glock is out of stock- and if I understand right, atleast 12 wks out.

That sight picture with a single tritium dot with no outline on the rear and a ledge for one hand manipulations is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for taking the time to post those pictures. That's really helpful.

I have a couple of questions. Is that front sight .125" wide? Any idea where I can purchase a rear sight that meets my requirements? So far, I am thinking the front sight in your pictures paired with a Heinie Straight 8 ledge rear but I don't think it has the U notch like your rear sight.

Are you using the center of the dot or the top of the sight as your POA?

It's a .140" width front.


During dry practice I always think "I wish the front sight was just a tiny bit thinner", while actually shooting with the sights however, I've never given it a second thought.

The only places that I know that sell the rear sights are 10-8, Weapon Outfitters, and Lonewolf Distributors.....they're currently all out of stock, sorry.

Top edge of the sight, held dead center on the target.

I just bought a Gen 4 Glock 19 that I need some sights for. Last year, I was amazed at the difference when I switched from standard Glock night sights to Warren Tactical 2 dot sights....

Do you still have the factory night sights?
