Glock sights for better accuracy?

[Bushman]

Preferably night sights. I've noticed ever since the trijicons came off and the factory sights went back on I've struggled at hitting paper plates 100 yards away. Now at best I can hit them at 25 yards.

The faaat front sight can't possibly help. I remember the trijicon front sight had a very thin blade, with lot's of light on both sides. As long as I focused on the front sight I was able to hit targets a long ways away (a huge advantage in SHTF or if you go camping and the pistol is all you have with you).

Why did you remove the Trijicons?

It sounds like your arms got longer, you ape.

TFO TruGlo's, or what ever their new generation is. Sights are a bit large, but they are fiber optic and tritium. They shine bright regardless of weather or darkness.

Snakes eyes are hands down the most accurate pistol sight I have ever used. Superb long range and great for quick acquisition. They are on my duty G22.

Getting old, plus I've had the front site come off TWICE over several years even with Loctite...Figured I'd go back to stock, since I never had an issue with the coming off. Then of course, I noticed the awful accuracy with the stock sights. Sweet Jebus...Fast yes, but not very accurate. You know it's bad when you can pick up your buddies other brand and shoot it like it's a tac driver and notice the front sight is very thin...

The Snakes Eyes with the aperture rear looks interesting. Would like to try to find one to try out. See if it helps my old eye's.

I'm on the short side of 50. My 25 yard groups went down by half...no exaggeration

Are they making them for anything else yet, like 1911s?

I'm not sure. You'd probably have to google it. I'd put a set on my kimber if there are.l

For night sights these are what I have found to be best for me they are the Dave Sevigney carry sights by warren tactical for a he little g43 I had to get them directly from Sevigney for the rest of my guns Dawson precision has the best price on them. They also make a version with a fiber front and black rear that I use on my range only guns.

Is this a Police or Security gun? I ask because it is a big difference if a SWAT officer endorses something vs. Joe the armored car driver. I've seen this in a few articles, but some of the reviews on amazon say it is NOT very accurate, albeit fast. Personally I'm not sure why the discrepancy, as aperture sights are known to be faster and more accurate than traditional leaf/post/notch sights on many other platforms. Plus you can lend the rear sight to a liberal as a you know what ring.

I was searching as soon as I posted that and looks like not yet. They have one set for the Kimber 1911 so far. I will be watching these though. Since my eye's started to age I have found 2 things work well for me. Optical sights, like red dots, and aperture rear sights.

My guess is these will be something like holsters. I too saw the reviews on Amazon. I am guessing it's going to be the old what I like you may not like. If they start making a set that will fit my 1911's I am pretty damn sure I will give a set a try.

What about advantage tactical sights, I've always wanted to try them but they are a little ugly.

 

[clearconscience]

Or a more expensive option, what about a red dot with slide milling?

LEO, SO Firearms and range instructor...He asked, I gave my opinion. I told him my personal experience as an older gent. The last place I'd rely on a review on anything firearms related is Amazon.
