Best Sights for Handgun (Glock 19)

[HICKMAN]

So the front runners are Truglo, Ameriglo and Trijicon.. anyone know what kind of warranty the Ameiglo or the Truglo has?

FYI, I believe the front sight with the Ameriglo Hackthorns has a Trijicon insert, paired with an Ameriglo rear-sight...

At least my front sight says Trijicon on it.

You look at the picture there and see Trijicon written across the top.


Here is a good thread showing the sights

Trijicon and Meprolight are the two major makers of the tritium capsules.

Yep. AmeriGlo makes the sights using Trijicon lamps. Same with I-Dots.

Also, FYI:

AMERIGLO warrants full replacement against breakage of the tritium lamp for 12 years on most models. The AR-15 sight warranty is 5 years. This warranty does not cover damages deemed from abnormal, abusive, or improper use, including any fault resulting from an accident or improper service. Remember that tritium naturally decays, but can be expected to have a useful service life of at least 12 years. The sights will lose brightness as the material (tritium gas) decays. Replacement is done when NO glow is visible, not when sights become dim. Note: Tritium is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and sights containing tritium may not be disassembled by anyone other than NRC licensees. For any non-warranty claim other than defects or tritium lamp breakage, please return your product to the place of purchase, along with your receipt. When returning products to AMERIGLO remember to insure package and a copy of your receipt.

I have a similar thread HERE. I ended up getting the Ameriglo I-Dot Pros (2 dot) through hoosierdoc here on INGO. I recommend him and these sights. They're fantastic on my Gen 3 Glock 19.

What kind of sights are those Charlie? I've never seen a rear with a flat bar like that.

I mod stock Glock sights Jeremy. Very inexpensive and, for me, makes a much more visible sight picture.

I started shooting with the three dot set up a long time ago so that is what I am accustomed too. I like adjustable rear sights,tritium and three dots so this is what I have on three Glocks.

I have other manufacturers three dot sights on 1911's and Sigs but the sight picture on all of them are just about the same which I think is a good thing. HTH's
