I just bought a Gen 4 Glock 19 that I need some sights for. Last year, I was amazed at the difference when I switched from standard Glock night sights to Warren Tactical 2 dot sights. I am happy with the Warren's except for 2 things. I would like a high visibility front sight a la Ameriglo Hackathorn/Pro I-dot and I would like a rear sight optimized for racking the slide on a belt, holster, table, etc. I am about 95 percent sure I want to stick with 2 dot but the Trijicon HD's also look promising.
The I-dot's have caught my interest but I have read 2 reviews that said that when the tops of the front and rear are aligned, the circle on the front sight sits too low in the rear sight. Obviously, they are good for up close, how are they for accuracy?
I bought a Glock 19 b/c I think of it as a "jack of all trades" piece of equipment. I am looking for the same thing out of sights. Fast to pick up but still useful for 25 yard accuracy work. I would like to avoid sights that are optimized too much in one direction or the other like the XS Big Dots are. At this point I am wondering if buying Heinie Straight 8 ledge and painting the front sight with a high visibility paint might be the way to go.
If anybody has been down a similar road and can point in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
