Ameriglo FBI Glock Contract Sights

[Hot Sauce]

Hey, you can already get decent Ameriglos for Sigs. Make the HD XRs for HK, and CZ, and all the other "off" brands that get no love.

This is the point at which someone points out that those sound like the epic words of an XD enthusiast.

At which point the XD enthusiast corrects you and says, "That's XDM, motherfucker. Yep, the M stands for motherfucker."

[voodoo_man]

Any word on those FBI AmeriGlos coming to us lowly civilians?

I haven't heard anything but someone posted around Shot...

Looks like Trijicon has a thinner HD to introduce at SHOT. HD "XR" with .122 front.

TFB: New Trijicon Products

From that release

...that is designed to allow “a larger field of view which further enhances the ability to identify targets, expedite engagements,
and see location of hits on target at longer distances.”

I had to laugh at the bolded line.

"Hey Cleetus! That shot impacted at 4 o'clock five inches away from the bull on the 100 yard target."

John Johnson has been trying to get Trijicon to make a thinner front sight for a couple of years now, even offered to pay for a limited run himself, looks like they finally listened.

Well hopefully that one dude from Trijicon that responded to posts regarding the sharpness of the rear took that info back to HQ and got them to listen to that too. Trijicon HDs that have a thin front sight and a guaranteed "not stabby" rear would be tempting indeed.

Trijicon subscribes to the "we know better, because we do the testing ourselves!" type of methodology, so this is not surprising.

I took that as a very positive sign the company (or, at least the guy who designed the sights) would represent in a social media thread.

The rears on my set for my VP9 were sharper than a mother in law's tongue. I had to knock the edges back with a file and emery paper. (The sights, not my mother in law).

I'd be mildly interested in the new HDs if I didn't already have a set.

To be honest, I only bought them because 'cool'. Heck, for two cents, I'd probably switch back to the OEM HK glow in the dark sights that came with the pistol. It was kind of a revelation going to Tom Givens lecture on low light shooting at Tac Con in Memphis this year. I now wish I'd spent that HD money on training.

If I could do the swap at home, I'd have done it, but I'm afraid to bugger up the slide or the sights.

Rich - brother, you are SO right. I don't even want to go into the amount of money I've spent so far trying to get decent sights on my 45c.

[Mitchell, Esq.]

Thinner front sight for HD?

Humm.

Maybe. I'll have to see...if they make them for the 45c I'm gonna be tempted...

For the Sig enthusiasts....looks like Lipseys is showing them on their website for the Sig 226 9mm/.357 SIG......just not in stock yet. Fingers crossed! Our armorer is replacing guys fading siglite sights with the HDs if they want them. I love the concept, but that front sight is like trying to aim with a basketball at arms length. These would be just right.
