10-8 .140 or .156 rear?

[Mr. Goodtimes]

I just picked up a glock 19 gen 4 and went to order some 10-8 sights for it, I'm getting the tritium front (.125) however I'm not sure on the rear. I was going to order the .156 but they are out of stock so I'm debating weather I should wait for the .156 or just order the .140 now. Who has experience with both? Thoughts?

I just picked up a .156 from Dillon Precision. They had them in stock. I'm going to run the .156 with the .125 tritium as well. I do own the .140 too so I am going to try them both to see which I prefer. I will hopefully try it this weekend.

[Mr. Goodtimes]

I just ordered one from dillon, it didn't say though if it was in stock.

I've used .150 and .140 rear notches a lot with .125 front sights and prefer the .140 rear notch for all purposes. Individual preferences vary widely in these matters.

Indeed.

I have some experience going back and forth between a .140 and a .156 rear (Both Heinies with a .125 front) and I have to say that for general use, I much prefer the wider set. Short of pure marksmanship work, I don't see much of an advantage to the .140 and I find the wider rear quite a bit faster to pick up.

imho/fwiw:

If I was purchasing a 10-8 Sight Set for a G26, G19: I'd run a .156 Rear / .125 Front . . .G17 I could do with either rear. . . . Might go .140 Rear/.125 Front on a G34

* On all my Glocks I run Warren Tactical Sights Rear Carry Sight with Dawson Precision FS: .150 Rear with .125 Front

Have a Govt/FS 1911 with a 10-8 Rear .140 & .125 Bead Front . . . . Like it Accuracy Wise, but The Sight Picture on the Glocks "seem/feel" quicker/faster.

As mentioned: "To each their own" Really Personal Preference.

On my 19 I liked the .156

I think there are two dynamics involved; your subjective preferences and your visual acuity. While you give up nothing with a sight picture that provides for more “equal light”, it may be an absolute necessity if you have less than perfect vision.

When I still had good vision I could shoot iron sights of just about any dimension, but these days “more light” equals more, better and faster hits.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up going with the .156, Dillon Precision had some in stock. Hopefully they ship it soon.

They shipped very quickly last week, I got mine within 3 days of ordering.
