I will check those sights out. Thanks for the suggestions.

I wound up putting on a set of Ameriglo CAP sights. However, the front sight post fits extremely loose. I emailed them and have not received a reply after 3 days. Not real satisfied at this moment.

Try calling them - they are usually very responsive, your email may not have gotten through or they may be backed up.

I called this morning and Myles responded via email.
looks like they are going to send me a new front sight. hopefully this one fits nice and snug.

I will keep you posted. I did some research, and it appears I'm not nearly the first to experience this. Hopefully the new one will fit much better.

I really like that setup. Will have to explore that if this front sight does not pan out

CAP sight update: So, I received my replacement front sight about a week or so after contacting Ameriglo.

Installed the new front sight today....and it was just as loose as the original one. Still have to manually look and center the front sight before tightening to avoid it pointing off a few degrees.

Wondering if it is just my slide, I pulled out my wife's brand new G43. Factory front sight was super tight. Installed the CAP front sight, and it was loose in the 43 too. Did some searching, and it appears others have had the same issue even with their replacement sights.

Also, I compared the sights side by side with the paint application. Gave them both the same light exposure from the flashlight on my phone at the same time and then put them side by side. The new one glowed significantly brighter than the original one.

I still need to go put a couple hundred rounds through my 26 to see if the sight remains in place or not.

So, overall, I believe this will be my first and last set of Ameriglo sights. Maybe being too picky, but I just don't think that front sight should wiggle around like this.

Interesting....It's weird how you read about multiple people saying their sight is super tight or loose. Guess I'd figure it would only be one way or another.

That's just the way they are I've installed 2 sets of TCAPS both times I had to center up the front.
No big deal use plenty blue locktight and move on . Neither set has come loose and 1 set being on my g20 10mm with my hand loads.

Ok, that is really good info to know!
