Overview
This sight set is intended for GLOCK pistols that need a taller sight picture, especially when pairing with most optics for co-witness use. It uses green tritium with an orange outline up front, and the LumiGreen paint is designed to glow brightly for a short period after light exposure. The XL height configuration may suit setups that need added sight height, though some optics may still call for an even taller option. It fits all GLOCK models except the 42 and 43 variants, and it is not manufactured, authorized, endorsed, or warranted by GLOCK.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a suppressor-height sight set, so it adds height compared with standard sights and may not suit shooters who want a lower-profile setup.
- The fit note excludes GLOCK 42 and 43 variants, so compatibility is not universal across the GLOCK lineup.
- It will co-witness with most optics, but some optics may require the taller "Tall Optic Height" model instead.
- The LumiGreen paint is described as glowing brightly for about 10 minutes after light exposure, so its visible glow is time-limited.
Suggested Comparisons
