| I took my Glock 19 out to the range today to try out my new Ameriglo Hackathorns. Gun was shooting a little high for me, but I was happy with the sights overall. Then about 80rds in, the orange outline ring on the front sight flew off. Not pleased. Has anyone else had this issue? I have two other sets of Ameriglo's (I-Dot Pros) that seem to use the same front sight, so I'm concerned about how well they are going to hold up. |
| Had it happen to two different Ameriglo painted dot sights. One lumidot the other square orange. They were good on replacing them. I went with plain black serrated as replacements. They did want the originals back which was a hassle as the guns were down for a week. |

They're just sights. Nobody really uses 'em in a gunfight .... Quoted:

Would you even trust the quality after that incident? Especially if it will be used on a defensive weapon. Good luck. They're just sights. Nobody really uses 'em in a gunfight .... LOL |

The tritium is still there and the sight is still usable. It's just the orange ring that surrounds the tritium vial. I managed to find it on the ground. Pic: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/mike9250/001_zpsftknrbbf.jpg Quoted:

OP can you post a photo of the sight? Is the tritium still there or is it gone too. The tritium is still there and the sight is still usable.

It's a pretty good endorsement that you found the orange outline on the ground. That might explain why I can occasionally find it while I'm shooting.
