Can someone with a G17 gen4 and a set of calipers read and help?

[MartyK2500]

My gen 5 G17 front sight is now barely usable.
Worst than ever.

Having the hardest time finding stock gen 5 sights, plastic or metal.

I know rear sight is different gen 4 and 5.
Would someone with a gen 4, plastic sights, measure front sight width and height for me please?

At least i'll know if I can make gen 4 sights usable, as my gen 5 is about to be safe queen benched until a Canadian company starts supporting gen 5 parts.

Thanks!

To have owned a few gen 4s, the plastic sights on gen 5 are much more readable.
To me it has to do with making rear wider and deeper, front looks the same but without measurements hard to say.

If I would of known gen 5 sights we're that scarce I would of babied it.

gen 4 and gen 5 use same plastic front dimensions after all, the difference is in the rear.
Thanks again i'm really happy you chimed in

Should be easy to find a new one. You melted yours right? Perfect timing. I seen the post, and CP just dropped off the new sights. So had to take them off anyways. The screw on mine started to free spin, was just locktite holding mine in. So Mine wouldnt be any good for you.
