For those who come to this forum looking for information on night sights, one option of many is to send the slide to Glock for Glock Night Sights ($57+tax).
On the Glock website scroll down and click "Glock Warranty" under "Customer Service." You can either complete the warranty form online or download warranty form & submit by mail. Other options available on the forms are a frame upgrade and refinishing. Please follow the directions for shipping components or complete firearms. Glock states that "Turn around is approximately two weeks * from date of receipt. However, turn around time is subject to change without notice." *Please note: Refinishing services will add approximately two to four weeks to turn around time. This thread also serves as a tracking method for turn around time. eta: bolded title AJE |

You mean you don't like answering this same question twice a week? 
Here's the correct link to the downloadable form, your current link is to the online version. And here's a screenshot of the pricing for the available services from Glock:

I sent my G27 slide in for night sights a few months back. As well as enclosing the service form, I took the precaution of applying some masking tape to the slide and writing my name/phone number in Sharpie on it. Just as well - they lost the form, and the only way they reached me was the masking tape label.
Another tip: remive all the internals and Glock will replace them for free... instant spare parts kit

Another option for those near Glock HQ in Smyrna, GA is to go there yourself. There's a security checkpoint at the gate where you'll have to show ID & the unloaded firearm to be worked on. Turnaround time for night sight installation was about an hour for me.
The waiting area is clean & comfortable but you'll want to bring something to read. There is a TV there but it only plays 10 or so Glock commercials on a loop. Staff was pleasant to deal with. |
Sometimes you have to look for the irony, and sometimes it runs at you, head-butts you, kicks you in the balls, then bends you over and makes you its bitch.

Got mine back yesterday. Fedex tried to deliver three times but they sent it where it requires signature with proof of ID so they wouldn't leave it. Ended up having Fedex just hold it at their hub so I could pick it up.
Glock did replace all the internals in the slide and gave it a detailed cleaning. Very happy with them, just a little annoyed by the Fedex BS. Dropped of at the Post Office 11/6, got it back 11/18 (would have been 11/15 if I could be home during the day to sign for it). |

Since you're bumping this, I'll link the other big thread on this topic, for reference purposes. There's a lot of feedback in that one and it could prove helpful when people come looking up this subject. The other thread is older, but it's fallen back a few pages, so I'll bump it too. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Handguns/Has-anyone-sent-their-slide-to-Glock-to-have-night-sights-installed-Happy-Cost-/13-162634/ |
