    Vickers Glock front sight

    Technical question about the new Vickers 19: It is listed as having the usual Vickers rear sight, but then also an Ameriglo i-dot pro front. I have looked on Ameriglo's website, and I don't see a sight that would work with the Vickers rear, which requires a .230" tall, .125" wide front. Any idea if this is some new Ameriglo front for Glocks that is not yet available? Is it available but not a catalog item? I would like to think they didn't just slap a .140"W .240"H front on it and call it good.

    They're not his Wilson sights?
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    The rear is a Wilson/Vickers sight, the front is an AmeriGlo tritium with the yellow-green lume. What makes this notable is the width. To the best of my knowledge, AmeriGlo has not offered this sight at this narrower width in a height other than factory prior to this Vickers edition.

    I am particularly interested, as this is my favorite tritium front, and I prefer a taller rear sight with a deeper notch, such as the Wilson. Up to this point I have had to use the .140 width front, but my preference is for a .120 or .125. Hopefully this will become a catalog item for AmeriGlo.

    The rear is. The front is an Ameriglo. Now that I look at more pictures of it though, it does appear that they just used a .140" wide Pro-Glo front.

    Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.

    Larry's front sight on top, Warren BIG Dot on bottom (which is the same size as the Trijicon HD (the old version...not the HD XR))



    Simple, uncluttered, "U shaped," rear. Not busy. I dig it.
