Thanks guys.

Is your front sight canted? Sometimes there is a little play during installation, and it might be off enough to show up downrange.
What kind of HDs are you using? If you put GL104s in a G17, that might explain why the elevation is off.

Good thought. I'll take a look after work today.
They are the GL01's (or maybe its 101 - not sure without looking at the packaging), for the Glock 17/19. You made me think of something though. I ordered them from MidwayUSA and whenever you order something from MidwayUSA or CheaperThanDirt or alot of online retailers that come in that vacuum-sealed plastic packaging, most of the time you receive the item and the retailer has already cut the edges off the packaging. I'm guessing they do that so that they can repackage returns better and if you return an item, they can more easily sell it to someone else. Just guessing. Anyhow, it would probably have been pretty easy for someone to return the wrong sights and take the little ziplock bag of the wrong sight and stick it in the package for the GL01's. I don't know how I'd tell though without sending the slide to Trijicon for them to check out.

Can you take a picture of the rear sight showing how much it's off center?

Sure. I'll be able to snap a picture tonight or tomorrow. In this thread I'm reading from Chris_1522 above that its perfectly normal for people to drift the rear sight a bit so I'm guessing its really not that far. If you were to be looking at it and comparing the ledge of the dovetail on each side of the rear sight, you can just barely tell that its a little off center. If you weren't looking for it, you probably wouldn't notice.

You need a taller front blade

I'm wondering if -Nick- above was correct and maybe I have either the wrong sights all together, or maybe the wrong front sight and the correct rear sight. The packaging is the correct model but the packaging arrives opened. If someone else returned sights to the retailer it looks like it might be easy to accidentally get the sights mixed up...especially if several people returned different models of sights that were having the returns processed at the same time.
I'll have to look to see if I can find the heights on the Trijicon website, maybe I can measure them while they are still on the gun and determine if they are correct or not.
