I’m going to be putting a red dot optic on my Glock 47, I’m looking at putting a set of suppress height sights on. I’m looking at blackout sights vs nights sights.
Any opinions or thoughts?

Black-on-black is my preference. Ameriglo has a lot of height options to tailor a fit; which will depend on what optic, what mount method, and preference to how much irons jet up into the optic view.

All black sights. If I were going through the trouble to have a big glowing dot, I think I wouldn't screw it up with 1-3 more.

Another vote for black on black. Another place worth looking into is Night Fision.

Thank you. I just ordered a set of Amerigo all black.
