The AmeriGlo GL252 sight set delivers enhanced visibility and optic compatibility for Glock pistols requiring XL tall configurations. This tritium-powered sight system maintains target acquisition in low-light conditions while providing proper sight picture when co-witnessing with red dot optics.
What Makes This Different
The GL252 features XL tall height construction that positions the sights at the optimal level for absolute co-witness with popular pistol optics. Unlike standard height sights that become unusable with mounted optics, this set maintains full functionality as backup iron sights. The green tritium inserts provide 12-year illumination without batteries or external light sources.
Key Features
- XL tall height profile for absolute co-witness with pistol red dots
- Green tritium front sight with LumiGreen photoluminescent outline
- Green tritium rear sight with black outline for contrast
- CNC-machined steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Optic-compatible design maintains backup sight functionality
- 12-year tritium half-life for consistent low-light performance
- Drop-in installation compatible with factory Glock sight cuts
The tritium vials charge continuously from ambient light and glow consistently in darkness, eliminating the sight blackout common with standard iron sights in low-light scenarios. The contrasting outline colors create distinct sight picture definition for faster target acquisition. Professional gunsmiths can install these sights using standard sight tools, though proper height verification ensures optimal co-witness alignment with specific optic models.
