Just ordered night sights for my gen 5 and was shocked to see they called for a different part number than a gen 4...whats the deal with that?
Everything looks the same...
Everything looks the same...
but just curious if you run the .180 in the front how does this affect a longer shot say around 25 yards ? I am looking into getting the ameri glo spartan tactical sights to put on my gen 5 19 and I would like to have that 6’0 clock hold. But just wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences with further shots. Thank you for your time.This is the rule with the Ameriglo sights.
The 5th Gen guns come with a .200 front sight typically. This gives POA/POI right behind the dot on the front sight. For most folks they hit low.
Most of the combat type sights listed for other models have a .180 height front sight.
FWIW I run .180 fronts on all my 5th Gen pistols. Their POA/POI are right at the top of the front sight. Closer to a 6 o clock hold.
The same is true with the 19X as well, although they come with the factory glock sights. I use the Ameriglo Agent sights on them as well with a .180 front sight.

Thank you sir I appreciate your help. I am looking into setting up all of my glock pistols this way. I will report my findings once I get lucky enough to find the parts needed.I can't speak to the impact of running a shorter front post, only thing I would say is that I believe the spartan tactical set may come with a .180 front to start with due to the lower profile rear sight. You may have to drop down to a .165 front to accomplish the same thing on the spartan tactical set, but worth confirming with Ameriglo.
