View Full Version : Ameriglo Spartan Tactical
Does anyone have any experience with these or know of a review somewhere? I was originally shopping for the Trijicon HDs but they seem to be back ordered for months everywhere and the Ameriglos seems really similar.
Any info is appreciated.
Before they were available as a set, I had put together the same thing by using a Pro Operator rear and a Hack front. For a carry gun, I liked them.

If you like the three dot version over the Pro-I Dot version go for it.
Personally, I have two guns with the Pro-I Dot version and they work well, and the price isn't bad. The Spartan Tactical version is a little on the expensive side though, I would almost suggest spending the extra $$ to get the Trijicon HD sights, since they are very similar and tougher.
A quick review and pictures of the Pro-I Dot vs. Defoors (reason for post are the pictures) http://vdmsr.blogspot.com/2012/10/ameriglo-pro-i-dot-vs-defoor-sights.html#axzz2Xpn7IoSW
I recently bought a pair of Spartan sights GL-446. I love them. Here are a few things I noticed: The tritium is made by Trijicon, and is labeled as such on the sights. The sights are metal, and are well made. Your eye really picks up on the orange front sight, it stands out and makes for quick target acquisition. The sights are also very easy to see in the dark.
I have noticed a serious improvement in my shooting once they were installed on my Glock. I plan on buying a set for all my handguns. You really can't go wrong buying a pair. The quality is there, they are reasonably priced, and the tritium inserts are Trijicon.
I love the i-dot pros. I have nothing further to add

I switched from XS big dots to the I-Pro. Love them. Like having an aim point on your pistol.

This is exactly how I feel. I used stock night sights then a blacked out rear and have settled on these and could not like them anymore than I do now.

Did they have them in stock? If so where did you find them? Thanks!

I have a set of Pro Operators with this color setup. I like it.

These are basically Hackathorns with rear dots?

I'm running the pro i dots on my M&P Shield. They are very nice. I have the Trijicon HD's on my G23 and will be putting them on my Dept. issued M&P 40 as well as my personal M&P 40. I have found the Trijicon HD's have a much deeper rear notch as compared to the Ameriglo offering. That and the fact that I prefer 3 dots to two or just one are the only reasons I will be going with HD's on everything but the Shield.

I am about to order...actually told my shop to order Ameriglo iDot orange/green sights. These have the single green rear dot. I have not shot these but the shop told me these or nothing on the rear is the way to go for my Shield.
I am also wanting to take off the Trueglow fiber/nightsights on my Glock G17. They came on the gun and I did not know any better but I do not really like them as them seem harder than stock Glock sights to get a fast sight picture with.
Thoughts?

Don't get me wrong, I really like the i dots on my Shield. I have the orange front with green tritium front and rear. I just prefer the three dot setup as opposed to the two dot setup. I have no experience with fiber optic, but I would go with Trijicon HD for your Glock. The minute Trijicon makes Shield specific sights, I will swap to those.
Any one know where a place has the GL-447s in stock?
Thanks.

where did you find them for your shield? I have them on my G19 and TruGlo TFOs on my shield but I would love to get i-dot pros on my shield

Look no further than Grant at gandrtactical.com. He also has the shield specific sight pusher from MGW. I bought both.

I'm running this setup more or less on my G27. I have the Orange Square proglo front w/ green tritium. Then a Pro Operator rear w/ yellow Tritium. Its an improvement over my G22s Trijicon HDs. I like the blacked out rear in the day time and I have the Tritium vials for night. The Ameriglo has Trijicon stamped on it (uses Trijicon vials).

I use the Spartan Tactical more or less for all my carry guns. Best sight picture in my opinion, and it's cheaper that Trijicon HD's.
The Spartan Tactical 3 dot (green tritium front and rear, orange outline on front) are my go-to sights. I've found that the dots line up better when the sights are aligned (other brands tend to make a triangle vs. a line I've found), and the orange front pops out. The .180 rears and the .140 front also offers the perfect amount of light on either side. My only (minor) complaint is that in darkness, the front tritium dot is noticeably smaller than the rear dots, but it's not a huge deal to me. They're my favorite sights on the market, and meet my needs perfectly.
