10-8
Wilson/Vickers Looking at getting one of these two's sight sets for my G17, anybody have any experience with either? I like a U notch, and I want something a bit taller which both are, if anything else is I'm all ears. Also front sight height, Wilson's site says everything but the 45s and 10mms need a taller front post, 10-8 says the long slides need a taller front post, any thoughts or experience? |

The biggest difference between them is the shape. The Wilsons have more of a classic Glock pyramid shape, while the 10-8s are more rectangular. Personally, I prefer the 10-8s. You didn't list the front sight that you would be using, but neither of those will work with Glock factory front sights.

Which is why I asked about the two manufacturers seemingly opposed front sight height reccommendations. Didn't notice the 10-8s being out of stock when I looked, if they are I guess I'll see if anyone else stocks them. Not much choice between available and vaporware if not. Thanks.

| Definitely 10-8. I just ordered two sets yesterday, one for my newly acquired G19.2 and one for my TRP. I put a set of Heinie Straight 8 Slantpro's on my G30SF and like them a lot. I like the front night sight so I use the Heinie 318F Front with my 10-8's on my G19.4. I also ordered one for my G19.2. I just checked the 10-8 site and they don't show them out of stock right now. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Brownells has 10-8 sights. Don't over think the sight manufacturers' front sight height recommendations. Every gun is different, and if you really want a dead on POA then you'll need to zero your handgun just like you would a rifle. Unfortunately, that means swapping front sights to adjust elevation.

I was a 10-8 rear/Warren white dot tritium front guy for a long time. I recently put a Warren front and rear on my Glock and like it the best so far. I run Warrens on all my Glocks...plain rear with carry profile and tritium front. I'm 44 and picking up the front sight and getting the front and rear sights aligned is so much easier with this setup. The tall narrower front with the larger rear notch is what my eyes prefer. I recently have installed a few Ameriglo Hackathorn sight sets (plain rear, orange/tritium front) for some folks, and I like those too. They are also way under $100. The Hackathorne ones are a lot like the 10-8 sets. |

I was looking at the same and I went with Trijicon HDs with the Yellow front. I love them, easy to pick up fast. Not cheap but I have four sets now, :-). Same here, except only 2 sets. Ditto, only my two sets are in orange flavor. Great sights! |

Screw 10-8
Pisses me off when they advertise the hell out of their products but when you go to purchase something NEVER in stock. and they claim that they are always making some and will put them in stock. I constantly go to their website and find that that is not true either. |
