The AmeriGlo GL482 sight set delivers precision aiming for Glock pistols while maintaining full compatibility with red dot optics. This 5XL height configuration provides the ideal sight picture when co-witnessing with mounted optics. The green tritium front sight with white outline ensures rapid target acquisition in all lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard height sights that become unusable with optic mounts, the GL482's 5XL profile maintains proper sight alignment through the lower third of most red dot windows. The green tritium insert provides 12-year illumination without batteries or external power sources. This sight set eliminates the common problem of having backup irons that sit too low to be effective with optics.
Key Features
- 5XL height front sight for perfect co-witness with red dot optics
- Green tritium insert with 12-year guaranteed brightness
- White outline front sight for enhanced contrast and faster acquisition
- Black rear sight eliminates distracting outlines during precision shooting
- Machined steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish

The GL482 performs consistently across temperature extremes and weather conditions. Competitive shooters rely on the precise sight picture for accurate splits, while duty officers appreciate the instant visibility in low-light situations. The tritium remains visible in complete darkness, making this sight set effective for home defense scenarios where room lighting may be compromised.
