3rd GEN Glock 19.




 

Trijicon HD.......

Where was it shooting before you replaced the sights?  Possible you got a set meant for .45/10mm Glocks?

OEM plastic shot to center of the black at 20 yards.

Meprolights were packaged for 9mm and .40 cal Glock.

.Had the front tritium on for a couple weeks, had no problem hitting steel plates from 7 out to 50 yards, but never put the gun on paper

with just the front.

Drifted the rear tritium site in today, thought i had better print some paper targets...  I had a good steady hold, ass on the gound.

Sounds like they accidentally put a .45/10mm rear sight in the package, it's taller than the 9mm/.40 rear.  The front sight's the same height for all Glocks.

Always in the past used Trijicon, never had a problem.

First fo around with Meprolight.


Is Meprolight known to be  inferior ?

I've had a set of Meprolight adjustable night sights on my Glock 19 for years.  It is a great piece of kit.  I would see if the vendor could swap you out for a replacement set.  Good luck.

Your sights are designed for a 6 oclock hold.

If that isn't what you want, you need to buy sights set for POA/POI hold.

On a side note, there is no way that 115gr 9mm and 147gr 9mm shoot to the same exact POI.  It is mechanically impossible.  They may both be within your margin for human error on the gun though...

Heavier bullets always shoot high but not that much....in 9mm, 147 is generally 3-4 inches higher than 115 at 25 yards.

Stock G19 rear sight height is .253 inches



25 yards = 900 inches.

Ask C service (or most likely Technical section) what the exact height dimensions that their 9mm sight are. If they are the same as the one you have then you got the "correct" sight and ask what height front sights are available.

You might try not giving them the exact scenario information; the hypothetical that you are setting up another pistol and you need precise info for custom set-up or you could get the; Well how tall is your sight, oh ya that's right.  

I have several Glocks with Meprolight sights on them. They all require me to use a 6 oclock hold.

OEM height for 9/40/357sig rear sight is .256" and for 45/10mm it's .272".  You accidentally got a .45/10mm rear sight.  Call Mepro or the vendor where you bought them and get a replacement.

Russel is exactly  on the money.

Update:
Continued telephone comms with "Dan"  at MAKO

  Dan is  supposedly contacting Meprolight, and  claims that  all  G19 rear sights are .263"  high, and  are sold in large number to many  customers at that dimension.


I am  now waiting for him to  get a  STOCK height ( .253")  Glock 19  sight with tritium inserts from Meprolight, and    make  exchange.

.

I am not  real optimistic.

.

.   Probably going to buy a set of TRIJICON, as I should have  initially.

Still waiting for  customer service.

 

That sucks.  If they never come through for you, Ameriglo sells front and rear sights separately so you don't need to buy a whole new set.

I know this isn't GD.
 I have TRIJICON  on...

.

 I have a 11 sets of TRIJICON sights installed, without issue..



.

.

.

This is my FIRST  experience with  Meprolight.

Thought I would give them a try.

.

I am not pleased.

It has been another MONTH.
.

Still waiting.

 

  NEXT set  of night sights will  come from TRIJICON, but I still expect   replacement  of   defective, out of spec  MEPROLIGHT rear sight.

Takes about a year

I have meprolights on a G19 and no issues.

My last sight purchase was Ameriglo Spartan Tactical sights. I have not been to the range since I installed them but I like them; front dot is very easy to pick up.
You can see the similarities with Ameriglo  and Trijicon HD

Inferior, umm no, they use the same Tritium as Trijicon uses. I've installed them on an M&P40c and a M&PShield .40... However, the first set they sent me was a rear only sight when I ordered just a front sight for the Compact. I called them, the guy was extremely nice, said to keep the rear and sent me the matching front the next day. So aside from the shipping mix up the sights on the Compact and Shield have been dead on at 25 yards, of which I set all my pistol's POA/POI for.

Someone may have gotten the packaging incorrect OP. Call them. If you have calipers use them and give the measurements to the customer care rep...

ETA: Disregard my post. I have/installed Ameriglo sites, not Meprolights. I don't know what I was thinking...

I have calipers.

.

MAKO defense imports  Meprolight.


They  have a  " Customer Service " department.   ..    In Theory...

Thanks for the measurement. The meps were consistently shooting high for me, Ithought it was just me but better shooters were getting the same results. I swapped out for Trijicon HDs, and the POI dropped to where itshould be.  I used to be a proponent of the Meps, as i like their somewhat brighter glow and lower cost, but I'm going to have to go back on that now. You get what you pay for in this case.

Meprolight sights shoot high for me as well on 9mm Glocks. Heines shoot even higher.

I don't know what anyone is talking about.  




 

I agree! Meprolights are very nice sights and there is a reason they come factory on H&K's, Glocks, Sig, Kimber uses vials, etc..... I do however agree that the MakoGroup customer support has been atrocious to use when it comes to getting things resolved. Ordered a set of Mepro's for my Glock 27 and showed in stock, no delivery, no delivery. Finally over a year it took me blowing up in a very respectful manner without resorting to anger to get them shipped. I went on the MakoGroup Industry link on www.ar15.com and messaged one of the guys that was helping people over the Magazine fiasco and he helped me out. Went as far as looking through a warehouse to find my package that was supposed to have shipped over a year ago. When I went to order sights for my new USPc .45 I chose Trijicon's for this reason and ended up sending them back as I did not like the sights/dots nearly as much as the Mepro's.  I'm going to order them from another vendor or probably just get them from eBay since I cant handle the way MakoGroup carry's on with this type of customer support.  

When I get a minute I will PM you the email and username of MakoGroup employee that helped me out, hopefully he is not who you have been already dealing with. In the mean time I would start a help thread in there industry page and let them know whats going on.

I see you have already posted the problem in the Industry link with no luck. Ill PM you my contact from them hopefully they work it out.

Did you actually read the entire thread?  The OP was accidentally shipped a .45/10mm rear sight instead of a 9mm/.40/.357 rear sight (.272" vs. .256" tall).  That's why the sights are shooting high.  Mepro sells a ton of sights, mistakes happen, I'm sure every sight manufacturer has made a similar mistake at some point.  I personally don't think they're worse quality than Trijicon; however, their horrible customer service in addressing the OP's issue would certainly make me think twice before ordering from them in the future.
