    G19 gen 3 (?) front sight change

    I'm overdue for a sight change, and am not familiar with removal of this particular Glock front. Is that a metal post, and needs to be punched out?

    I assumed this was a gen 3?

    Is this the stock plastic sight? If so, just grab the top with some pliers, twist, and pull.

    Its the stock sight, but looks different for the other plastic sights I've replaced.

    I'm ordering the GL-447 Ameriglo Spartan set from OpticsPlanet. It indicates for Glock 17 only, but I'm guessing its for the G19 as well.

    The Gen 3 sights were not screw in. Just put it out with pliers and screw in the new ones.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    This. Pliers simple. The front site on the G19's gen 3's tend to be metal. Not a big deal, rip it off and rock on with new sights.

    This is weird. I JUST (as in last Thursday) replaced the front and rear on 2 G19 gen 3s- I used the hex front sight tool and unscrewed the front plastic sights before putting the new metal ones on?

    Either way, the gentlemens are correctified. Pop it off and use whatever new attachment mechanism you need.
