Glock Front Sight

All of our front sights feature 40lpi serrations to provide crisp visual focus and glare reduction.  Finished in black QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing (aka Melonite, same as the Glock slide).

• Available in many styles:
• Tritium insert, .075" plain green
• Brass bead insert
• Fiber optic.  Fiber optic comes with 1 each red and green fiber rods.
• RedBack One: .060" plain green tritium insert, placed higher on blade face (LIMITED availability, production overruns only)
• .215"-.250" height.  Most common height is .215".  See below for more info.
• Not compatible with Glock factory fixed or adjustable rear sight height (too low)
• All models fit correctly on Glock 34/35 slides without overhanging slide cutout.
• Width: .125", .115", and .100"
• 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.

**Our front sight posts are made to maximum dimensions for a tight fit in your slide.  However, due to extremely wide variation in the mounting holes in the Glock slides, our posts are sometimes oversized.  If a gentle tap with a nonmarring hammer does not seat the sight, file just a little off the outside and try again.

SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT GLOCK SIGHTS:
Factory Glocks tend to shoot anywhere from 2-4" high at 25 yards, usually necessitating the use of a 6 o'clock hold when shooting bullseye and other small targets.  Keep in mind that if you lined up 20 Glocks, all of the same model and caliber, not every single one would shoot to the same point of impact with a given set of sights.  Glock makes a number of different height rear sights to accommodate the inherent variations in points of impact.  With this in mind, an aftermarket front/rear set with a standardized height for all models - such as the one we've been selling for a few years now - can only provide an approximate elevation setting for any particular gun.

The .215" height is the most commonly used of our front sight heights, and typically provides a point of impact from 0 to approximately 2" high at 25 yards. Results will vary with individual pistols. The .235" height front sight lowers point of impact approximately 2-3" at 25 yds from the .215" tall front sight, and the .250" height lowers the point of impact approximately 3.5-5" at 25 yds, depending on your model's sight radius. One inch of elevation change at 25 yards equates to approximately .007" of front sight height.  We do not recommend sighting in your pistol at any distance closer than 25 yards, as the amount of possible error generated by sighting in at shorter distances will create issues when you shoot at longer ranges.

• Glock models other than the 34/35 (see below) most commonly use the .215" front.  
• Glock 34/35, most commonly uses the .235" front. 

So how are you supposed to know what to put on the front of your gun to match the rear sight you got from us?  Currently the simplest answer is to leave your existing front sight in place, shoot it at 25 yards with your new 10-8 rear in place and print a group for elevation.  Measure your existing front sight, and using the .007" of front sight = 1" at 25 yards equation (I know, no one said there'd be math...), figure out how much taller or shorter you need to go.  Everyone tends to like or accept different elevations, which further compounds the difficulty in preselecting a front sight.  I like my guns to shoot about .5" to 1" high at 25 yards so that I can see the point of impact over the tip of my front sight blade.  You can also use our Glock Sight In Tool, a plastic one-use sight blade, to sight your pistol in by filing the front sight height to fit.  Once sighted in, remove the Sight In Tool, measure it, then order the correct front sight.

Lastly, once a sight has been installed, understand that we can't accept it back as a return.  Once the sight has been installed, it can no longer be resold, so it would go on the scrap pile.  However, we want you to be happy with your 10-8 sight set, so we will work with you on getting set up properly.  Please contact us for a discounted price on additional front sights if your initial purchase does not provide the desired point of impact.
