The AmeriGlo GL506 sight set transforms standard Glock pistols into optic-ready platforms while maintaining reliable iron sight backup. This co-witness sight configuration allows shooters to mount red dot optics without losing the ability to use traditional sighting methods.
What Makes This Different
The GL506 features a 3XL tall front sight profile that co-witnesses with popular red dot optics in the lower third of the optic window. Unlike standard height sights that become unusable with mounted optics, this system provides immediate backup sighting capability if the electronic optic fails. The serrated front sight face eliminates glare while the blacked-out rear sight creates a clean sight picture that won't interfere with optic use.
Key Features
- 3XL tall front sight height for lower 1/3 co-witness with red dot optics
- Serrated front sight face reduces glare and improves sight acquisition
- Blacked-out rear sight eliminates distracting dots or outlines
- Compatible with factory Glock sight cuts and aftermarket slides
- Steel construction with durable black finish resists wear and corrosion
- Maintains factory sight radius for consistent point of impact
- Drop-in installation using standard sight tools
This sight set performs reliably across temperature extremes and maintains zero through thousands of rounds. The co-witness design proves valuable in competitive shooting where optic malfunctions can occur, and in duty applications where backup sighting systems are mandatory. The tall front sight remains visible even with suppressors that might obscure standard height sights.
