Really liked these better than the I Dot Pro's, found one set though my local dealer. Anyone have any recent range reports or pics?

Is that the one with the orange front dot with tritium or the one they used to advertise with the whole rectangular front sight in orange with tritium dot? I'm interested in the second version, but they don't show them anymore.

The orange is VERY prominent in daylight. Too much so for my taste. YMMV...

I just got the front sight only and just screwed it onto a Gen 4 G19 paired with a Warren Sevigny Carry rear. Looks good. We'll see how they match up this weekend.

Prolly gonna shoot way high. I believe those Ameriglos are .165" tall and the Warrens usually shoot good with a .215"-.225".

While the Ameriglo Hack standard height is as mentioned above, they are available in different heights. I generally run a .235 front sight on a Glock 9mm with a Heinie/10-8 rear, and just ordered two sets of the Ameriglo Hack sights with a .235 front and Heinie/10-8 height rear.

The customer service at Ameriglo is top notch.

I have a pair on my G19 and G17. G19 has a narrower (~.165") rear notch. Probably will never use anything else.

I have the Ameriglo "ProGlo" front, and the "Pro Operator" yellow rear on my G19. Nicest sights that I have ever used.

Whoa, I missed this reply back in April. No problem.

Ameriglo sells the Hack front sight in a .220 tall size which is the one I ordered specifically because I was pairing it with the Warren rear. This combo is the most outstanding sight set up I've tried.

At 25 yards with a 6:00 hold on a 3x5 card, the POI is in the 3x5 card with 124 grain Blazer.

It's very fast up close and the tighter rear window of the Warren/Sevigny rear has delivered very good and repeatable 25 and 50 yard hits too.

I just ordered another set of the Idot, but I decided against the Idot Pro. I have found in sun light the reflection of the orange is almost unbearable.

I have also found that even though the shipping is spendy, most of the sights are available for about the same price as other places direct from ameriglo.net. I hope you enjoy your new sights.

If you order from Ameriglo put GSSF in the coupon code. Its worth 10 or 20% off I forgot which.

I have the Hack and Defoor sights from Ameriglo on my G17 and G23, respectively. Both are great sights and Ameriglo CS is top notch. Each pack comes with a small front sight tool.

I really like the orange front dot - helps draw the eye to the front sight but not too distracting. For me, the orange is not too overpowering in full sunlight.

I have the I-Dot Pros and am now addicted to the orange highlight. However, I'm not a big fan of the site height. Are you running a 0.165 tall front (GL-212-OR) with a 0.256 tall rear (GL-229-OP-R)? I think that this gives me the right combination of site height, rear width, and a lower overall profile.

I finally got back to the range this weekend, POA was POI standing at about 50ft. I'm already seeing an improvement in my shot placement verses the standard Glock sights.
