Got mine back just a few minutes ago. 7.5 business days from the time it was shipped to Glock to the moment it was returned.
Sights look great. Glock also shipped with new extractor depressor plunger, firing pin, new springs for both and a slide cover plate. All of which I removed prior to shipping. Well worth the cost IMO. |

Also to the guy that ask for the Hackathorns, did they put them on? I saw on a LE pricelist that you could pick from Glock, Ameriglo, and Trijicon night sights. Wondered if they stock the Hqckathorns |

And thats why I always tell people to ship a stripped slide in for night sights. |

Wondered if they stock the Hqckathorns I didn't make myself clear. I had Hackathorns ON my Slide and wanted them taken off and stock Night sights installed. Glock did want I wanted and sent my orginal sights back along with rebuilding my slide and giving me a new recoil spring. They even returned my maritime spring cups. I was able to sell the used Hackathorn sights for $50.00 They where 3 years old. I like the Hackathorn sights but I actually pocket carry my G26 a good bit and It was tearing my pockets all to shreds. |

In my area their are quite a few people that can install sights but why pay $90.00 for night sights and then have to install them yourself or find someone to do it for you. Makes no sense to me. I would much rather pay the $61.99 + shipping and have my slide rebuilt by the manufacturer. |

Dont know this for sure but this could be the First G42 with factory Glock Night sights, Glock told me they did not offer this 6 Months ago. |
[url=http://postimage.org/][img=http://s27.postimg.org/dt813nlf7/IMG_3831.jpg][/url] The messed up G 42 mag I sent in was replaced with this. The new is on the right and the old is on the left. When I bought my G42 It has shipped with the second generation mag, so I guess Glocks is producing a 3 version of the G42 mag now. |

This is awesome. Looks like I'm going to have to send off my 26 slide sometime and get the night sights replaced.
I'll have to keep this in mind next time I see trade-ins for a good price. Makes me regret not picking up one of those 19s AIM had for $350 a few weeks ago.. |

Shipped 10-7-15
Delivered 10-9-15 CC Charged 10-12-15 Shipped back 10-16-15 Delivered 10-21-15 (with one attempt 10-20-15) My only gripe is the adult signature requirement for the return package. Not a big deal in the grander scheme of things. Once again, Glock gives excellent value for the money and prompt customer service.

You CAN buy them for $57 (plus shipping) directly from Glock. |
I looked everywhere EXCEPT Glock direct and Couldn't find anything under $79 for the OE sights.
| I installed a set of Trijicon HD's on my G19 and didn't like their high profile on the G19 so I took them off the 19 and installed them on my G17 I then found a new set of GLOCK night sights on the equipment exchange that a guy had removed from his G19 I bought them and installed them on my G19 and prefer their lower profile and rounded edges over the trijicons. The factory plastic sights are very easy to remove and the factory night sights fit perfect without having to fit the rear sight to the slide which is common with aftermarket sights. I am happy with the deal I got and the sights themselves. |

You can. https://store.teamglock.com/gun-parts/..... Or you can strip you slide and send it in for the same price and get all new parts as an added bonus. |
Burning vacation so thought I would post some different pics for the thread. The 21 is from 2005 with factory Glock night sights and the 23 is from 1998 with the Tru Dot marked Meprolights that came from the factory like that. The newer Glock sights seem to have the tritium capsules seated deeper inside the sight body and may even be slightly smaller in diameter to the eye. The Glock sights are both staked in at the front sight instead of the small nut. Is this how the factory is still installing the fronts? FWIW, I feel like I get a better sight picture and can shoot the 21 better, but like the sight profile better on the 23. The SIG 220 is just there for reference with the Siglites being pretty much straight trijicon dots. Not differences in Glock finishes between 1998 and 2005 also...
Ok, Fuck it. I took a few more pics, but have no idea what the fuck happened when I downloaded them from my tablet. This is the best ya get!  !

Just got mine today. I must say A+ for Glock customer service. I sent back in some recall parts with it (since my Gen2 is 21 years old) and my locking block had a crack. I also requested an extended mag release and slide release (expecting to pay for them). To my surprise Glock only charged me for the night sights! And of course I sent my stripped slide and it came back with new slide parts. Very happy customer, I am.
Timeline - Sent out slide priority mail on 10/16. It got delayed and arrived at Glock on 10/21. Glock called me 10/23 for CC number. Got here today 10/29.
