Glock hackathorn Sights.

[bollox]

Just arrived from Brownells and installed in a snap. I really like the bright orange with the tritium insert. I will get them to the range ASAP for a real test. Tested them in all my holsters and have no interference issues at all. (LPA users beware!)
They are Ameriglos P/N GL433

Nice looking sights. They should be fast to acquire on target! Obviously they're metal....?

 

[bollox]

Yep, all steel.

Did you need the Glock rear sight tool to install it?

 

[bollox]

No, I have changed many Glock sites and never used pushers. Nylon punch. Not a mark on'em.

Chiil the sight in the freezer, heat slide with hairdryer a few taps to center and bingo!

Really no need for pushers, IMO.

Hmmmm, just what my failing eyesight needs, I think. I hope they make them for M&P's.

I will have to try that, thanks for the tip.

Do you know how the size of this front sight compares to the XS Big Dot? I'm looking for an easy sight for my terrible eyes and was going to go with the Big Dot.

I actually do. I have both this and a set of XS big dots.

The big dots measure 0.170'' OD (of the white portion)

These are 0.130" OD (of the orange portion)

I do have to say that I am not a huge fan of the bigdots as I find the front sight too big. (I do realize they are designed for rapid alignment but not the best for paper punching..)

 

[iloveak47]

they look a lot like the trijicon hd minus the tritium in the back sight

 

[iloveak47]

but the trijicon seems to be twice the price

 

[bollox]

It is very possible that these are, in fact, the same FS as the HD. I have no physical sample to compare though. I prefer black only rear sights any ways hence why I searched these out.

They do - I have them on both of my MP40's... the bomb...
