Agent 42/43 sights on a G19X

[DpdG]

Per the agent thread in the pistol tech forum, I ordered direct from Don at Ameriglo. I wanted a Bold set for my 19X, but with .125 width front- he suggested .200 height for any/all Gen5. It took a few weeks to get with communication being not as good as most vendors (3 weeks to ship instead of quoted 2-3 days, never got promised shipping notification). The sights are nicely made, but hit 6-7” below point of aim when using 147gr and drive the dot. Currently working exchange for .165 front to get my preferred top edge of front post sight picture.

Try opticsplanet. They have Ameriglo Pro Glo Glock front sights for about $44.00. Not sure the part number though. Looks like they have orange or yellow.

+1. Definitely my go to source

I wish Ameriglo would make a .125 wide, .245ish tall front so I could pair it with a Warren, 10-8, or Heinie rear.

Interesting...I ordered the Dawson sights specific to the Gen5 Glocks for my 17.5 which have a .03” taller front (.235” vs .205”) than standard Gen 1-4 Glock sights and, you guessed it, also hits below the dot. Haven’t measured exactly the offset to take advantage of Dawson’s perfect impact policy yet.

I am interested in this because all Gen5 sights I have seen recommend a .02”-.03” taller front due to “changes in barrel lockup” but seems like I am not the only one having lower than normal impacts.

Received the Agent sights from Brownell’s and installed the .125 x .190 front. Regulates perfectly on my 19X.

I have the same issue with my .200 front on my gen 5, it hits very low. I just ordered the .180 x .125 to see if that brings everything back to poa/poi. My guess and from what I've read is that the sight picture was changed from top ledge to drive the dot. I also noticed Dawson has three different heights for the gen 5 models which seems rather odd to me. The g19/17 have a .235 front, the 19X has .225, and the g34 has a .215 front. I've emailed their tech multiple times because their .205 is pretty much universal for gen 1-4, not sure why multiple heights are needed for different models of gen 5. I'll probably end up throwing a .205 on after utilizing their policy but we'll see, still waiting for more people to confirm this.
