What sights for a Glock 17 MOS with RMR

[JonJonM]

Hey there, so I decided to get an RMR for my Glock 17 MOS and will be using the Trijicon mounting kit that has the proper screws and stuff. I am now thinking I should get Trijicon suppressor height sights. Does anyone have the same set-up? My concern is that I do not want a huge amount of sight showing through the optic window. I think I would like a sort of 1/3 lower co witness or less, I am afraid of having a cluttered sight picture with too much going on. I am use to the irons always flipped down on my rifle that has a RDS. I see Trijicon makes tritium sights in black front and black rear so they don't have the white around the tritium. Maybe this would be a good option so there is less "clutter".

Anyone have Trijicon suppressor height sights on a Glock MOS with an RMR that can tell me how tall they appear in the optic window?

Would you go with black front/black rear, or, white front/white rear, or the black rear/white front?

No iron sights maybe?

Thanks,

Jon

I can't help you out with Glock sights (I just had factory sights on my MOS G17 which is why I sold it) but I did have the same concern about a cluttered sight window with my FNX45 which does has tall, three-dot sights—here's the sight picture:

I found, though, at the range that the sights were easily "looked past" and were not distracting to me at all.

I have an RMR with Trijicon suppressor sights. I have no issue ignoring them and focusing upon the dot.

I can't do the same with my AR (probably due to years of using irons while in the CAF), so have flip down BUIS to keep them out of my FOV.

Thanks for that picture it give me an idea what it might look like. I guess I just need to decide if I want white surrounding the tritium dots or black

Thanks

Good to hear, do you use the white ones or black? I cannot make up my mimd on that, maybe just a white front post with black rear. Does the tritium glow a little in the day?

You won’t notice it in the day but I’m not sure if the tritium would interfere with night vision optics when using the night setting on the Trijicon RMR. Not that most of us don’t need that anyways.
