Fiber Optic Some Glock slides are thinner at the front sight hole, and the sight's mounting post may protrude. This causes the set screw to tighten against the sight instead of the slide. To correct this, file some material off the bottom of the post (indicated in silver) so that the post sits below flush.

Glock Front Sight, Fiber Optic

$45.50 - $49.95

Precision CNC machined from hardened 4140 tool steel and finished in black QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing (aka Melonite, same as the Glock slide).

  • Fits: ALL Glock models, all calibers, all frame sizes, all slide sizes.
    • Fiber optic (.060" rod with .075" diameter counterbore on 40lpi serrated blade face for flared bulb).
    • Compatible with .250" blade height rear sights.  NOT compatible with Glock factory rear sights, fixed or adjustable, as they are shorter than .250" blade height.
  • Height: .215", .235" and .250"
    • ALL Glock models, regardless of size, caliber, or generation, most commonly use the .215" front.
    • Glock 34/35, 41, 17L, 24L most commonly uses the .235" front. Sights do not overhang slide cutout.
    • Glock 48 uses .250" front with our Glock MOS Standard Height Rear Sight.
    • The .235" front lowers impact approximately 2-3" at 25 yards relative to the .215" front.
    • The .250" front lowers impact approximately 3-5" at 25 yards relative to the .215" front.
    • Please note that different guns will vary in regards to point of impact, especially with differing shooter preference. These heights are recommendations, and we cannot guarantee point of impact due to variations in individual guns. Point of impact will vary by *individual gun* and not so much by generation.
  • Width: .125", .115"
    • Blade width is strictly personal preference.  Thinner fronts cover less of the target area and are preferred for speed.  Thicker blades like the .125" are preferred for improved accuracy and are our most popular.

All sights include set screw and one section each of red and green .060" fiber optic rods.

**INSTALL ONLY TO MAX TORQUE OF 6 INCH/LBS or else you may risk cracking the threaded post.

***Due to manufacturing tolerances by our fiber optic supplier, there may be slight variation in the diameter of the fiber optic rod. Use a razor blade or X-Acto knife at 90 degrees to the rod and gently scrape the outside diameter a little bit and it will fit right in without any compromise to the function.

    Front sight

    I was surprised at the quality of this sight. The base is very solid and the fiber optic is well protected. Great sight that is well designed.

    Glock 48 sights

    I purchased sights for my Glock 48 from 10-8 performance after having used them on my 1911 for years. I can say, outright, that these are my favorite sights. The U-shaped rear notch and either fiber or tritium fronts make sight acquisition rapid and repeatable. I definitley recommend these sights.

    Too small

    The sight is super bright if only it was big enough. It fits very loosely in the standard Glock front sight hole. meaning even when tightened down it shifts in the hole changing point of aim. If 10-8 could fix that it would be a good product.

    Glock fiber optic front sight

    Front sight is loose in the hole and shifts back and forth changing my point of aim.

    Glock fiber optic front sight

    Installed this on my new Glock 44. I had watched Hilton’s review and remembered his shot high as mine did. I purchased the front and rear sights that he used and it worked perfectly.

    Front Sight

    I initially bought the day/night front sight but was not satisfied with it. After the purchase of this fiber optic front sight it am extremely pleased. The sight itself is very protected, strong, and designed well. The fiber optic is great! I have used 10-8 Performance for several things before and recommend them to others. Thanks y'all.

    Orange Night/ Day Front Sight

    This is my 3rd Night/Day Sight from 10-8. I am really digging these front sights. This one went on my 43X, accompanied with the Gen 2 MOS .140 rear sight. I have installed setup on 3 Glock so far and is my new 10-8 go to for the foreseeable future.

    Glock 22 front sight

    I bought this sight for my Glock 22 and added the tool to switch it out. Too bad my Glock is pre-screw so I’m screwed. I guess I’ll try to punch the old sight out to get this one in. A warning would have been nice. Website said “all models”.

    Brass bead glock front sight

    The brass bead front sight (glock) is a great product. 10-8 Performance is the only place I could find it. Vickers has a gold bead, but its 75 dollars. This brass bead looks great in daylight. At night your sight Is black used with your weaponlight. Brass/gold have been sights on handguns/longguns for over a hundred years. Hats off to 10-8 Performance. Elmer Keith would have been proud of this sight(not sure he'd like the Glock)
