Very cool that Ameriglo is expanding this line outside of just Glocks.

I really like these sights, they are what I'm using on new Glocks now.

Me too. From the installation side of things, they go right in without any modification.

Very cool, I just placed my order for a set of the Pro i-dot sights. Grant, are you saying there was no fitting required to get these in? Not that it's a big deal, but it will be nice to not have to file on the sights.

What color is the tritium? I was actually about to order some yellow Bowie Operators to go with my Pro-Glo front sight but I greatly prefer 2 dot sights and if these contrast with my green front I'm definitely on board.

Been waiting to see these for a while now. I would have liked to see them use a rounded rear sight window like they do on the Glock idots. Grant, do you have any measurements on these?

I would say that 90% of the time there is not fitting of the rear sight.

Anyone have the dimensions? How wide is the rear notch compared to the Hackathorn?

What other differences, aside from the rear dot, are there between these and the Hackathorn sights?

I've got my PRO iDot sample shipped out today. Look forward to checking them out.

I really like the Bowie Pro Operators with the subdued yellow rear, but I'm putting these on a compact and expect them to be a little faster.

I'll get some pics up when they come in and I get them installed.

Front sight is .140 wide and .156 high.

Rear notch is .157 wide.

The above are rough estimates, but you ge the idea.

Yea I go back and forth. For USPSA and IDPA i use a fiber front sight, but thats worthless for self defense at night. I have the bowie tacticals on my XD now, but the front isn't as fast as the fiber to pick up during the day. I thought about the truglo but hear bad things regarding reliability. I think these are going to be a good mix of both worlds.

It's hard for pictures to do Ameriglo tritium sights any justice, in my opinion. I got mine about a week and a half ago and was very surprised at how great they looked in person. It's just near impossible for a camera to pick up the brightness of the tritium with everything else dark, with any kind of clarity.

Texaspoff
07-25-11, 23:49
These are the Glock I-Dots and it will give you an idea of the brightness of the sights. I'm with Grant on the fact this is all I use now. I have I-Dots on all my Glocks. AmeriGlo is really producing a great product, and Rick has always been outstanding whenever I had quesitons. Their customer service is top shelf. TXPO

I REALLY like the Orange. Especially in low light - you have an orange outline and a green center glowing. FYI - I've had a few people ask - they do NOT glow orange. The outline around the green tritium is painted orange instead of the traditional white.

I really like these sights. They are incredibly fast. My eyes pick up the orange great - even against orange targets. The rear tritium is not distracting at all in high light - much like the Bowie Operators.

I'll edit out these pics once I get a chance to take some better ones with the digital camera - but here are a few with the iPhone. I havent seen any pics of these on the actual gun - so hope these help out a bit til I get some proper pictures.

If they are like the Glock sights (which I imagine they are similar in this respect), they will change your POI if you only change the front. A stock Glock front sight is .165" tall, my I-DOT Glocks are out of town or I'd measure them but they are definitely taller.

These look very interesting; especially the pro's. I saw it mentioned that the front and rear tritium is the same size but are they the same brightness? While the Warren Tactical's are apparently a nightmare for installers due to fitting issues; one of my favorite features of them is the fact that the rear brightness is very subdued compared to the front.

ETA: maybe its just the focus of the camera playing tricks but in the pics above it almost looks like the front tritium vial is smaller than the rear?

If you take a look at Texaspoff's pics on page 2 of the iDots on his Glock - it does a much better job of showing the dot sizes.

The rear and front are the same size. I agree on liking a subdued rear (I love my Operator yellow rear). However, being 2 dots instead of 3 - I don't find it a problem. On 3 dots you can potentially mix up the dots if they are the same color and size. With these - you can't mix them up. It's impossible to put the rear above the front dot. So in this instance I much prefer that they are the same size. I find it draws my eyes a lot faster. Hope that makes sense...

Yea it's just hard to get a good picture with a cellphone camera. It makes the front look really tiny. This isn't the case though.

My opinions - the Bowie Operator 3 dots with subdued rear yellow keeps the eye from getting confused. I find it a bit more accurate then the iDots. The iDots are a lot faster though and it's not possible to confuse the dots in the sight picture. I keep the 3 dots on my full-size and the iDots on my compact. I may standardize on the iDots though. They are perfect for concealed carry / defense. Both sets make the rear very close to a plain black ledge during the day - but have the advantage of lighting up at night. Best of both worlds IMO. Both sets have a stepped rear sight for weapon manipulations using the rear sight.

Rick and crew are also good people. Buy with confidence.

Thanks for clearing that up Steve S. I've definitely become more of a fan of 2 dots lately vs 3. I've got a compact that still has 3 dots though and these might be just the ticket.

Just got these installed on my glock 20. I have yet to shoot with them, but am impressed by the way they look. The orange really pops out. I had a chance to compare these to the HD front sight. They are very similar. The HD's outline is slightly bigger and swooped ever so slightly down word, where the Idot front sight is upright a bit more....So far I like what I see, cant wait to shoot with them!

This morning I put the orange front on my M&P. I shot it this afternoon and find it easier to pick up than the stock night sight it had.

PPGMD
08-05-11, 16:15
Just some observations.

Trijicon Extreme HD Yellow front, green rear for the M&P vs Ameriglo i-Dot Pro Orange front, green rear for the M&P.

Orange vs Yellow
My Ameriglos are orange and my Trijicons are yellow. I can see the orange much better in marginal light. Likely if I go Trijicon I will be replacing this set with a set of orange front ones.

Design
The Ameriglo design is much more beveled which I think will be a problem for one handed work, while the Trijicon have a descent sized flat surface on the back. The notch width looks to be about the same, but the Trijicon has a deeper notch with a round bottom. Also the Trijicon has a serrated rear. Finally the Trijicons are a three dot design while the Ameriglos are a dot over dot design.

The front sight widths appear to be about the same, but the Ameriglos are shorter. The Ameriglo dot looks to be painted on with the tube in the center (similar to XS). While the Trijicon has the painted dot under the glass, so glare can overwhelm the dot (not sure if the orange would be better).

Tube wise they are both Trijicon tubes, so they are good reliable tubes, but on the Trijicon rear they use smaller tubes than the front, and the metal around the tube isn't visible on the Trijicons. Compared to the Ameriglos where the metal is visible and almost looks like the white ring around the tube. Now OTOH Ameriglo offers a yellow rear tube on the Glock version, which I imagine they will for the M&P in the future.

Now I haven't installed them yet so I won't be able to comment on that until next week when my sight pusher comes in.

Since M&P #1 is XS Big dotted I will compare them head to head with that, and will switch between the two on M&P #2. For the initial opinions will be from dry fire, but I am hoping to get to the range within a couple of weeks.

These look really nice. I've been considering going from a 3 dot set up to this i-dot. I'm in the market for sights for my M&P .45 and this may be the route I go. Anyone have any feedback as far as going from a 3 dot site to this i-dot set up?

Did you keep the stock rear night sight on the gun?

If so, did your point of aim change by using the Ameriglo front sight combined with the stock rear?

GJM
08-05-11, 17:30
I have HD and Ameriglo Hacks, and like them both. One other difference is that the Ameriglo sights are softer, and you will get little dings in the metal, when you move them with a brass punch.

Yea I still have the 3 dot Bowie Operators on one gun and the iDots on another. Transitioning isn't hard. Especially since both are essentially a black ledge rear during the day.

There's more of a learning curve with the iDots in pitch black. I had to get use to the distance between the dots to avoid vertical stringing. Now that ive learned the distance better - they are very fast. Although I'm still unsure which style I like more. Both the 3 dot Operators with subdued yellow rear and the iDots with the orange painted front are both awesome.

It's like having to choose blondes or brunettes. We all have our preferences - but both are great.

Thanks! I think this would be the perfect setup for my home defense M&P 45. I find the I-dot style sights work very well for me. I have been hoping for a good tritium copy of the Sig style sights and this is close. I feel faster with my P226 with the post and dot than any sight system I have used.

I think I'm going to take the plunge and go with the iDots. I just can't decide if I want the green or orange front... I feel like the green would catch my eye a little more but without seeing them in person its hard to judge.

I bought both...the GL-201 and the SW-201.

For my ancient eyes there is a huge difference between the Glock and S&W sights, which is quite disappointing.

The GL-201's are .180 rear with a semi-rounded bottom cut. http://www.ameriglo.net/sites/default/files/pro%20idot%20green.jpg

The front is about (without micro-ing it) about a third taller than the S&W 201's. The large rear opening combined with the front orange make for very quick acquisition.

In comparison, the S&W's are mildly better than stock due to the front orange, but I think they could have done better by just emulating the GL-201 model with both a taller front and a wider notch.

If I had done my homework better, I would have forgone the S&W's.

I have been running the orange front pro i-dots on my M&P 45c for several weeks now. With the MGW M&P sight tool they were an easy no fitting required install. My full size M&P 45 has the factory three dot night sights and I find those very good. I find the pro i-dots to be fantastic on the 45c. the orange dot is very fast to aquire in daylight and the tritium inserts are very bright for low light work. The stack the dot sight picture is very fast, though I have been working with three dots all of my LE life and don't have a problem with them. My only complaint on the pro i-dots is the front sight is a bit wide for my tastes. It's not enough for me to even be concerned about it, but if the front sight could be just a bit thinner it would be ideal.

All things considered, I am happy with the pro i-dots on my 45c, but don't see myself changing out the three dot night sights on my 45 full size. I don't have a problem transitioning between both so for me the pro i-dots were a necessary upgrade on the 45c as I bought it without night sights from the factory. Buy with confidence, they are a great product.

08-15-11, 22:13
The front sight width issue on the S&W201 could be somewhat mitigated (perceptually) by a .180 rear notch as on the Glock version.

I agree. For me it is not a deal breaker, as my 45c is not a precision gun but a up close and personal rapid employment handgun. The front sight width is more than usable for me to make head shots out to 25 yards so it has enough "precision" for me, just not as good as it could be.

Has anyone installed both the pro i-dot green and orange fronts to compare which they like best?

Seems most people have been going with the orange front. Im still having trouble trying to decide if I should go with green on green, or green rear with an orange front. I really wish I could see these sights installed in person. But since I cant, Im hoping to just get a couple more opinions.

Got the new front sight installed and didnt like it. My eye just could not pick it up as fast as the plain white dot. I shot some drills to compare my times and saw that I was definitely slower with the orange front sight versus the factory dot. Just goes to show that everyones eyes are different and what's may work for many doesn't work for all.

I will say though that the tritium is was nice and bright which was expected.

Those that have them, are you using traditional sight alignment "or" aligning the dot (shooting the dot like Warrens) with rear sight ?

Any idea if these will work with the 10-8 rear on an MP40??? I'll change if I have to but I like the 10-8 and don't want tritium on teh rear at all...

I am sure after you pick which one works best, I'd be happy to take the other one off your hands....it would be fitting that it would land right in front of my 10-8 rear sight.

I went ahead and ordered the ProGlo front sight in green and a serrated rear sight for my .45fs. I'll let you guys know how I like the front sight.

I got my order in the mail today. I ended up canceling the serrated rear sight from my order and ordered the Ameriglo operator with yellow tritium. I'm REALLY glad I got the front sight with the green outline! I haven't got the chance to go to the range but I can already tell I'm going to love this sight. I have Trijicons on my 9c and if all goes well at the range with my .45 I will probably go the same route with my 9c.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the i-dot and the i-dot pro sights for the m&p?

Both sights have the option for green rear and green front.

Hi Snackgunner. My first M&P had the regular IDots on it. The front
was the green tritium with a white dot outline. The Pros that I have used since then have the green tritium in front with your choice of orange or green outline dots in front. The "green" dot has green tritium but the dot itself looks like yellow to me. I like the the yellow /green a lot. The back sight has the single dot which I believe is the same on the regular IDots and the Pros.

Will the Pro's work on a Shield?

I have been using Hesse for almost a year on my off duty M&P 45c. I have the orange outline front sight. Ilovr this sight nd am thinking about converting my duty gun (m&P 40) to his system. I find them very fat to pick up and align, as well as very visible both day and night.

These are the Glock I-Dots and it will give you an idea of the brightness of the sights. I'm with Grant on the fact this is all I use now. I have I-Dots on all my Glocks. AmeriGlo is really producing a great product, and Rick has always been outstanding whenever I had quesitons. Their customer service is top shelf. TXPO

why is the front dot so huge? is that just camera effects? does the tritium itself helps the green photo luminescent paint glow?

Same question here. Is it the camera causing this effect?

Yes, it's bokeh (out of focus) part of the picture that makes the front sight looks bigger.

No. My guess is that we will see some Trijicon HD sights first.
