Stock Glock sight style in Night sights?
I am talking about the rear U with the front dot. I love it, and I am much more accurate with it than any other sight system. I am having a hard time finding a night sight version of it. Does one exist?

I'll be checking back here because I feel the same way. I wish they had the exact same sight picture in night sites. I like the U as well

I put glock night sights on my first glock and found out right away that i shot better with the original sights, i'm not switching on my current glock unless i can find a front glow sight that will work with the standard rear sight. i heard some people do that, but i haven't looked into it yet. at close range in the dark i would think the front sight would do the job

You could get just a front night sight and keep the stock rear. Ameriglo sells separate front sights that are the right height to use with the stock rear.

Its a shame glock doesn't make a night sight version of their system. Anyone know why?

Check out the Warren tactical and heine sights that are "straight eight" configuration - one bright dot in the front and a single dimmer dot in the rear. A proper sight picture is front dot over rear dot, so ot looks like a figure eight.

Ameriglo also makes a front sight with an orange ring around the tritium and the standard white ring. Depending on what model Glock you have, you probably want a 0.165" height front sight. The standard Glock front sight is 0.140" wide. Ameriglo also makes a 0.125" wide front sight which I prefer (allows for more light between front and rear sight). Check our all their options here:

Just in case you might find interesting, an XS big dot front sight makes a useable sight picture in conjunction with the white "cup" design factory rear. It would only give you one tritium vial(the front), but I've run many pistols with only a front night sight over the years, and done fine in dim light shooting. Be safe
