Are those fairly easy to install? i thought so, especially for not having access to a rear sight pusher. i didn't have any issues and this was my first attempt at replacing sights on any pistol. just go slow and take your time. |

Compared to the Factory Glock sights, ANYTHING else is better. Those Ameriglo Operators appear to be outstanding, with regards to as close to perfect a sight-picture as anything I've ever seen or used. Not too big, not too tall, not too wide (both front and back). If I were in need of a pair of Glock sights, they'd be at the top of my list.
Thanks to the original posters and their pictures. Good luck. |

She's kinda cute. (Looks like she is packing a 12ga pistol! Look at that bore!) |

Heinie Straight Eight Slant Pro w. Tritium on my carry 19
Thats a mouth full... Short review. Don't have any serious complaints really. As long as you have a sight pusher and a flat file, they should install fine. As far as range/target sights, they are fantastic. As far as carry/CCW sights, they could be better. The rear sight is perfect, serrated to almost negate any glare, and a single solitary dot/trit that keeps it simple. The front sight, is the only short coming IMHO. Some people will love it. I however would like a more visible/contrasting sight. Im considering painting it or something. http://a.imageshack.us/img830/7365/img0505v.jpg Kinda hard to get that front sight to focus on an iPhone. http://a.imageshack.us/img29/1634/img0506w.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img412/338/img0507zz.jpg 180rnds at 30' http://a.imageshack.us/img39/8673/rrfa.jpg Yes, I had a random flinch fit for a magazine. Been about three months since I've put finger on trigger. |

How about the factory night sights?
Are they the same as the Meprolight Tru-Dots? |

Has or does anyone use the XS standard size dot sights?
I had the Warren sights with ( plain black rear and Red fiber optic front sight ) My eyes never were able to pickup the front sight ( wasted money ) |

I had the Warren sights with ( plain black rear and Red fiber optic front sight ) My eyes never were able to pickup the front sight ( wasted money ) for a while, i used the BIG DOT on a Sig 245. They were good, and easy as 'dot the i' for sight alignment. Brutal tho for any aiming beyond 30 yards, that is, to keep tight accuracy. I now have the standard size XS on my XD9 serivce size, where they are working Great!!! My G23 wearsTRU DOT nite sights, which are a fine set of 3 dotsights. The G21sf I just picked up has a Trijicon front with the factory Glock plastic rear. I'm not that entheused with just the front sight lit, and will most likely go with the XS Standard dot setup when funds allow. I wanted to go with the Heinies, but have read similar reviews as the poster above. |

I don't like anything on the rear except serrations, anything else distracts me. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad346/TexasPistols/2010%205%203%20Carry%20Gear/IMG_0144cropresize.jpg Very nice. Thats the .180 rear? I've been seriously considering getting that plain .180 rear plus a narrow tritium from for my Gen 4 19... After having used the Warren Tactical for a while I'm wanting something a bit lower profile on my carry gun. |

That's a good picture of the sight, at arms length. Brings out the true view.
Guys, if you're taking close up pictures, activate the macro on your camera. It helps keep the dimensions realistic with distance.

Start another thread to discuss the 75 yard shot.
If you're not discussing sights and sight picture, don't post here. |

I ordered myself a set of AmeriGlos "Hackathorn" sights last week, they showed up a few days later and while I put them on, I ran the camera some.
SO! Take from it what you will. Fair warning: I do not shut up and Im a little bit of a dork. Video one. Since I don't know how to embed here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVg73-kY_8M And video Two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDk_Y4lWhcM Dimensional pictures: They speak for themselves. Continued. Installed Pictures: Front. POV. Trijicon Tritium. Sneak preview of the upcoming Glock Carbine in prototype camouflage!! Edit |

One of the best sights is the standard glock sights on my 30 great point of sight picture, quick recognition. Wouldn't change to night sights or a 2 or 3 dot set up. I've tried the other variants and this is what I shoot the best. The other is just a waste of money. I paint all my sights to mock this set up.

I'm thinking about finally upgrading from the stock stuff on my 23. I'm looking at either an Ameriglo gl-112 front and gc-56r-180 rear OR the Ameriglo gft-113. Obviously the gft-113 is fiber optic while the other combo is tritium. Would I be better off with the tritium for my regular carry weapon? I'm not entirely sold on the fiber optic concept, mostly because I have never used a set of fiber optic sights.
I do like the idea of a squared front edge on the rear sight for clearing malfunctions. Otherwise I'd just go for the Ameriglo Hackathorn set. This thread has been extremely helpful! |

I just purchased the hackathorn set for my glock 20sf and was skeptic at first but they are great sights and I am very impresssed this is the first time I have used these sights I have always used the 3 dot sights, I can say I will order another set for my 29sf.

My only question is if you don't have a rear sight anymore why do you still have a front sight? |
