Target Sights for Glock Model 19

I use and recommend Ameriglos. Great sights, and many models can be installed by the consumer with no special "extra" tools. I would be interested in what "Seems like I need to upgrade for 25-yd. shots..." means????

 

I also have the same question? I was thinking heinie maybe?

 

Ameriglo and Race Cut Henies may be the best choices presently avaiable

 

Now we know. Thanks for the edification.

 

I'm a noob but in my mind there are only two types of sights for me. Race cut Heinies (regular or Tritium), and Bomar adjustables from CGR. But I do not carry the gun or use it for combat, law enforcement or self defense. Although I couldn't see how race cut Heinie Tritiums would be a bad thing for LE or SD.

I could totally see how 25 yard shots on a 19 would be more difficult with the standard sight. I often wish for more daylight on the Glock 17 with its longer sight radius. I even considered doing some shaving.

 

http://www.customglock.com carries the race cut heinies and custom Bomars I'm talking about. I'll be getting either the RC Heinies or the Custom Bomars after christmas. I have to make sure somebody dosn't get them for me first.

Give them a call and ask for some sight advice for your gun. Since I will never carry it for self defense (or even have it available for SD in my house) I'm probably going with the Bomars in case I start screwing with different barrels or crazy ammo loads. If I had a G19 I'd be keeping it available for self defense. I'd go with the Tritium Race Cut Heinies for $130ish. But the non tritiums are also very very nice for about $95.

My only reasoning for keeping a narrow focus on those two type of sights is that I do not have the experience to make my own conclusions about other brands and types of sights for competition use. So I got advice from a bunch of people and it looked like those were the best bets for making a right choice the first time.

 

SCHunter, take my advice on this one and order a set of fiber optic saver set sights from Dawson Precision. get the >105 front sight with the heinie rear. I use them for USPSA and I think Dave Sevigny uses Heinie on his guns. www.dawsonprecision.com

 

Heinies, Race Cut Heinies or Heinies with a Dawson Fiber are the best choices for fixed sights.

Bomars or Dawson Adj are best for adjustables are will be more precise for long range but are not reccomended for carry or dual use guns.

If you have any other questions, call emial or post em here.

 

What kind of shooting are you doing at 25 yards? Are you trying to shoot for group size, just trying to keep all your shots "in the black" or are you competing in IDPA, USPSA or GSSF?

I've used a G26 with stock Glock sights in GSSF competition and was able to keep most of the rounds in the A and B zone at 25 yards so the stock sights can do the job if you do your part.

 

Where you shooting PPC at?

I used to shoot PPC in the SC law enforcement league.

Anyway...

For your purpose the best sight for you would be the Bomars if your G19 is strictly for range use and competition. If you use the G19 for concealed carry then you'd be better off with a set of Heinie Slant Pros.

However, even with the Bomars you're still going to be at a big disadvantage when you're shooting against guys with six inch custom barrels, Aristocrat sights and Andersom Munitions .38 wadcutters.

 

For PPC the Bomars or Dawsons would be best, we have both.
