I am interested to try Kyle’s new sights for the Glock. The information is available on his blog at http://www.kyledefoor.com and they are made by Ameriglo, so quality should be a no brainer. They look to have plenty of right angles for one-handed use and are regulated for 25 yard POA/POI as well. The price is reasonable as well.
Does anyone have them on their Glock yet? I have been using 10-8 sights with a .250 front to get just on the black hold at 25 yards. I’m looking forward to some reviews of these sights.
If you need a set of sights don’t wait on me, just go ahead and order them. Knowing Kyle and his abilities the sights will be awesome. Besides, I don’t really think I can add given my lack of shooting skillz.
Given my schedule it might be weeks before I get them installed and have a chance to shoot them.
After reading the description on Kyle’s site and Ameriglo’s site, these appear to be the Operator night sights but without the tritium vials and serrated on the front. If thats the case then I can recommend them, as I run Operators on a couple of my Glocks and like them very much. They shoot to point of aim for me out to 25yds. I’ll be getting a set of his for my G19RTF2 if it ever comes in.
CORRECTION: Just double checked, the two do have the same width rear sight, but the Defoor set has a narrower front (.115") compared to the Operator’s (.125").
Ordered a set after seeing his blog post and the UPS man just dropped them off at the office. They look solid and I hope to get them installed this weekend.
I’ve been using the Ameriglo combat sights for years on my personal glocks. The skinny front sight is really nice for aiming. Night Sights are great, but if your target is properly illuminated & identifiable, then your sight picture will be clear.
I finally figured out that I don’t need night sights on every gun I own. I’ve only got them on my everyday carry G19. The rest have plain black sights and I’m going to keep it that way.
You can, but you have to use a smaller tritium capsule. I think a capsule like the one that comes in the rear of Warrens would fit in a .115 front sight with enough metal left to protect the capsule.
Ameriglo seems to be putting together sight sets to suit the tastes of well-regarded trainers. They have a “Hackathorn” set too. It consists of a plain black wide-notch rear and a front with an orange square on it (it looks to be wider than .115, maybe .125?).
Not sure if the orange paint is that Luminova stuff that the Europeans are forced to use, since they can’t be trusted with tritium. I’ve got one of their front sights that has the light green square of Luminova paint with a tritium dot in the middle thereof. In low light all I see is the dot. I can’t tell that the paint is doing anything. Still it’s a nice enough sight. Were I to do it over I would get the orange paint (along with the tritium) for better visibility in good light.
