    Ameriglo FBI sights on the G19 (.140 front).

    Trijicon HD-XR on the G17 (.125 front).

    On both I split the bull at 25 yards (use the top of the front sight blade).

    How do you like the HD-XR? I'd like to try a set but I've never seen a taller than standard front post offered. Our tight Gen 4s and so far Gen 5s would I fear impact high with the old standard dimensions.

    I'm running Ameriglo Suppressor sights on my Gen5 G19 MOS. Front is tritium, rear is blacked out.

    POI with 147-grain American Eagle FMJ is about 1" over the tip of the front sight post at 25 and roughly drive-the-dot at 50.

    POI with 124-grain S&B is right on the tip of the front sight post at 25.

    I don't have POIs for defense ammo yet.

    Honestly, I'm mixed on the HD-XR. I very much like the high-vis front sights. However, I think the rear notch is too wide on the HDs - especially with the newer XR front. Still, they've been well regulated for me.

    If you need more sight height options, Wilson Combat has introduced some new thin Ameriglo front sights in .230 and .245. On my G34 (a GEN3), I'm experimenting with the Wilson Combat/Vickers rear sight with a .245 height Ameriglo Pro-Glo front sight. I think the .125 front with the .145 rear notch on the Vickers rear is just about optimal.

    I'd like to see the Agent or HD rears offered with a narrower notch.

    I’ve tried the Ameriglo Bold .165 in height works at 25 yards and I switched to the CAP square front sight.
    My 26.5 has the .165 height CAP which matches well as above and I haven’t shot my 19.5 yet with the Glock sights it came with, most likely it will get CAP sights.

    Very helpful! I may try that Wilson/Vickers combo.

    I don't know what "hold on target" means. Must be Big Dot lingo.

    More rounded with less rear razors edge undercut than HD's, that's for sure.

    How about "put the big white dot where you want the bullets to go and press the trigger", kind of like how you shoot a red dot.

    AKA - Drive the Dot.

    It's also how I shot most of my Berettas.
