Most gunfights happen at 3 yards, last under 3 seconds, and involve 3 rounds. For everyday carry, you also want sights that are quick on target and facilitate "tactical accuracy" rather than "bullseye accuracy". Focus on quality and durable construction. Sights that are used for your everyday carry firearm are what you want to spend the most money on. Finding the Right Sights for Your Use Caseīefore getting to the best Glock sights, there's a bit more to cover. Be careful not to get sights that are too wide in dimension, as they make long-distance shooting more difficult.įinally, consider getting ramped sights with smooth edges that won’t snag on your holster or clothing. The width of the front sight is also important, as it can affect your speed and accuracy dramatically. The front sight should always naturally capture your eyes’ attention. Speaking of rear sights, make sure that the rear sights’ paint or tritium doesn't distract you from the front sight. The front sight typically should have a large dot that’s easy to focus in on and provides sufficient contrast from the rear sight. You want your sights to have a bright target point that allows for easy target acquisition, day or night. Some people find certain colors do a better job of drawing their attention to the front sight. The color you choose largely comes down to personal preference.
Luminescent sights also come in different color variations. Fiber optics glow even in the sunlight, while tritium is specifically designed for nighttime. Modern fiber-optic sights create a similar effect. Alternatively, many sights use radioactive chemicals housed in durable tubing that give off a natural glow without electrical energy-tritium is most popular for this purpose. Today, you can find sights with luminescent paint that aids in target acquisition. The Glock comes with simple painted sights, but modern sights have evolved beyond this. You are also looking for a front sight that is easy to find when taking aim. Avoid plastic sights, as they are typically not durable.
#FIBER OPTIC GLOCK NIGHT SIGHTS INSTALL#
It is recommended that a gunsmith install these sights to avoid damaging either the sights themselves or the slide of your pistol, as specialized tools are required for proper fitting.So what makes a good set of sights? The first thing I would recommend is to only buy sights made from a strong metal like steel or aluminum. The TRUGLO TG131GT1 TFO night sights are compatible with each of the following GLOCK models: 17 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 39. As noted, they provide unbelievable transition through all lighting conditions, and are all but guaranteed to provide you with a better sight picture than your stock sights.
Also beneficial is the fact that the TFO technology is applied in such a way that the sights are concealed from targets, meaning you can see your target, but your night sights will not give away your position. The result is a highly-visible dot that glows in the dark without the need for batteries or charging in light.Įach set of TRUGLO TG131GT1 TFO night sights is constructed from CNC-machined steel with a snag-resistant design that makes them perfect for use with concealed carry handguns.
These fiber optic inserts are used in conjunction with tritium illumination, which emits electrons through beta decay to produce a fluorescent light when mixed with phosphor materials. The idea is that the optical fibers are positioned in such a way that ambient light shining upon the inserts is concentrated at the tip, making the dot of the sight brighter than its immediate surroundings and easier for shooters to see. For years, fiber optic inserts have been utilized in iron sights to increase visibility. TFO is the name given to TRUGLO's patented combination of fiber optics and tritium technologies. Billed as the ultimate handgun sights, these sights benefit from TRUGLO's patented TFO technology – a technology that represents a revolutionary innovation in the handgun night sights industry.
