I am in need of some new sights to replace my very well used Warren Tactical Tactical 2 dot sights. The Tritium still works but is getting dim but the bigger issue is they are worn to the point they are shiny and it is distracting to me. I am looking for sights that meet the following criteria

3 Dot Tritium Night Sights
Serrated Front & Rear
Ledge or Comparable Rear Sight
2 Color Tritium for Front and Rear
If possible color filled around front tritium
Similar sight picture

It doesn't seem this is out there, so I've found this as a possible option I just wanted to see everyone's opinion

Rear Sight
Ameriglo Pro GL-229R
Yellow Tritium
Height : 0.256
Width : 0.180

Front Sight
Ameriglo ProGlo GL-212-240-OR-C
Green Tritium with Orange Ring
Height : 0.240
Width : 0.140
https://www.ameriglo.net/catalog/sights/pistol-sights/glock/night-sights/front-sights/gl-212-240-or-c

It seems like it is the same set up as Ameriglo sells as a Special Combination GL-241 other then the color tritium element.

This combo seems to meet all the criteria I was looking for other then a serrated front and rear sight.

Any advice or comments on this set up ?

Why are you using a .240 front sight with a .256 rear?  The .256 is standard for the 9, 40, 357Sig and 45GAP. and the front is .165






Information below and link to site it was taken from Lone Wolf
It is our experience the following work best in most cases:
+0 (6.5) works best on 9/40/357 guns except the 26,27,33
+1 (6.9) works best with 10/45 guns and the 26,27,33

Glock Number to Aftermarket Number Chart:
Glock Factory  6.1    =    -1 Aftermarket
Glock Factory  6.5    =    +0 Aftermarket
Glock Factory  6.9    =    +1 Aftermarket
Glock Factory  7.3    =    +2  Aftermarket
-1 (6.1) and +2 (7.3) primarily used for sight adjustment.  

Sight Adjustment:  
Adjust the rear sight in the same direction you want the bullet impact to move.
Each sight height will result in a 2"-3” change of impact @ 25 yards.
Impact is low, raise rear sight.
Impact is high, lower rear sight.

Thank you for pointing that out I wasnt sure which heights would be needed. Putting together custom sights is new to me

I am ordering the same rear sight with a comparable front sight in the correct height
