What replacement sights for Glock Gen 5?

[Doc Safari]

For the Gen 5 Glock 17 I'd like to put steel sights on it, either night sights or not.

Does anybody have some pointers on what to get?

Sight height?

Do all aftermarket sights for the Glock 17 fit the Gen 5?

For just steel sights go to the store on Glock's website . Steel sights are 20 bucks a set .
On my 17 the rear is a 6.1 but it shoots a inch or so low at 10 yards . The next one up is 6.5 . For 10 bucks I might order one and try it .

Take a serious look at the FBI Contract Ameriglo sights. If you want something in-hand to check out first before you buy, find yourself an Ameriglo equipped G17.5 or G19.5 at a LGS. They're essentially the same, but with a Square notch instead of the FBI's U-notch.

The LGS had a 19 with those sights on it IIRC. I thought they were hard to pick up.

Really, I may get by on the cheap and just replace the OEM plastic sights with steel ones and stick to the same design. Haven't decided yet.

Oh man, I'm very surprised to hear that... my experience was quite the opposite. Short of a red fiber front in the bright sunlight, these appeared to be the next best thing, to me anyways.

Well, my eyesight ain't too great. I actually have those BIG DOT sights on my Gen 4. YMMV.

We are indeed talking about these, correct?

They did look a lot like those. I remember particularly the serrated grooves on the rear sight.

Gotcha. Just wanted to make sure.

ANY sights with small dots are useless to me.
