[Member 34319]

Those look really nice! Were they easy to install?

Pretty much.

I don't own a sight pusher. I have always hammer and punched my Glock sights into place.

I mark the center of the sights and the center of the slide and work it in one tap at a time.

I have never installed sights but have watched allot of videos on the utubes. When I get my G43 I am confident it will not be to difficult

I have a pusher sight tool but I don't use it on Glocks, the plastic rear sight slides right out of there, but having the Glock tool to unscrew the front sight is pretty handy.
I go slow and tap in the new rear sight using a brass punch.

I use a wood dowel instead of a punch. It works awesome and won't damage any sights or slides.

Decided I am finally going to get a proper set of sights for my main carry gun the Glock43 and there are not as many choices as the other models it appears.

So post up what you have on yours and why you chose them.

Hoping it will help me decide.

Thanks!

Do you shoot fifty yard Bullseye or seven yard slide-lock?

I always recommend the Tru Glo TFO or TXO sights. They glow at night and in the day. Plenty of other good ones so it will come down to personal preference.

I just installed Tru Glo Tritium Brite Sites on my G43.

I run Trijicon HD's on all my Glocks. They're rock solid and the rear sight can be used to one-handed "table rack" the slide as well.

Same on mine. Mostly because that's what the gun came with, and the gun was a gift, but it's still the perfect option in my opinion.

They're just so loooooooooooooooooooong.

I didn't realize they were when I got them. After realizing they have a tritium rod and a fiber optic inside it makes sense.

Trij TFX Pro on my 19's
I asked the manufacturer if they planned a front sight/red FO/Tritium option. They replied with a not likely type of response

 

[Stomper]

That's because they don't want to pay you royalties when they DO make them, because you just gave them the idea!

So I picked up a G43 and ordered my Hackathorn sights... Anybody near Eugene willing to help replace? I do not have a vice... Willing to throw a little cash or ammo your way for the assistance.

I use these on my 43 and 41:

Vickers Elite Battlesight for Glock | Black Serrated-http://shopwilsoncombat.com/

Fast but able to refine sight picture for precision. One hand slide racking with the shelf on the rear is easy.

I run an XDS vs a G43, but similar pistols in most ways that matter... I run Ameriglo I-Dot Pros or XS Big/regular-dots on a few remaining pistols and shotguns.

Sights are personal preference but trad 3-dots/"ball in the cup"/etc. just don't work for me now that I've found the I-dot/rear vertical line style sights and I only wish more companies offered more varieties and configurations of them. Second to the I-Dot's are a front FO or even a Tritium/lamped front with a solid-black rear and a fairly wide notch if it's on a carry gun.

I'm simply faster in every regard with the I dot style sights. and my accuracy is more consistent to boot plus, and I especially like this on a carry gun, there's less "noise" at the rear sight which let's me drive to that front sight as I'm bringing the pistol up. Now I just have to figure out how to get them on my P-07 V2 that I'm moving to... Bugger.
