Glock Front Sight, Fiber Optic

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.

Description

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.

    the best sites I have ever had

    Great Product

    This is a far improvement over the stock glock sight. With the thinner posts it allows for much more surgical shots. An added bonus, these sights are bullet proof. The extra support in the middle of the fiber offer a big improvement over similar sights. My set required a little fitting for the front post, but it was so easy a cave man could do it. Great product for a great price. Can't see how it could get much better, but if it could I bet 10-8 performance will be the one to figure it out.

    Fixed POI

    Used the .250" tall x .125 wide Fiber optic front with the 10-8 .156" rear in my Glock 19. Now my shots land on the top edge of the front sight instead of 3" high at 25 feet. Great sight picture! The green fiber dot is very fast to pickup. I used brass beads before, but I will be switching to fiber optic sights in all my guns.

    Excellent Sights!

    I love these sights on my G34. The brass bead isn't distracting and ideal for quick precision shots. I think it's the perfect balance between blacked out and FO front. I have Trijicon HD's, and XS Bigdots on some of my other defense Glocks, but I like these a bit more for quick acquisition target shooting. I went with the recommended height for G34's (.235 front) and it's right on. Highly recommend. Thanks 10-8!

    Glock Front Sight W/ Brass Bead

    I just finished installing the front sight on my G-17. It looks great and I pick up the front sight real fast. For me it seems I'm attracted to the bead faster then other types. It reflects light great making the front sight jump out at you. As for the install. Went right in. No modifications needed. Great sight.

    Just what I wanted.

    Being that I'm 51 and eye sight is so so I read a lot of the reviews and decided to go with the 156 rear and .125 / 215 for the front on a Glock 19. The sites were perfectly for me!

    Once you try them... You will never go back.

    Sighting options are an immensely personal choice. It is difficult to get "over the hump" to actually change sights as an experiment. However, once you try the 10-8 sights, you will never go back to whatever you had before. The .100W X .250 height solved my G34 vertical POI issue. I now shoot POA to POI at 30yds with a 147gr bullet.

    Exceeded expections.

    Full disclosure: I'm just a big fan of the way 10-8 does things that is probably love anything I buy from them. That being said, these fiber optic front sights really are incredible. I have used a few other fiber optic front front sights before (Dawson, Warren, etc) and they've all been adequate. The 10-8s are a step above. The sight allows for a longer fiber optic rod which gathers more light. These things are bright. Even with the end I melted/charred trying to get a good bead on the rod, the sight glows brighter than any of the aforementioned sights I've used. Simply put, these sights are robust, and if you take the time to install them correctly (there's a really great video somewhere on this website) you will have no reason for concern over the durability of the fiber optic rod.

    Clear sight picture

    I'm a firearms instructor and shoot 3-4 days a week. I shoot my carry gun for classes as well as matches. My old sights were match type fiber optic sights and rusted quickly as well as had very little low light capability. I was concerned that the 10-8 night sight would be too wide for speed (usually go with .115 width front sights) but I have been very happy with them. Smacking steel plates at 100 yards all week.
