Overview
Built for Glock pistols equipped with slide-mounted red dot optics, this sight set is intended to provide an elevated co-witness sight picture while also serving as back-up iron sights. The XL height and green tritium front sight are aimed at shooters who want a visible reference alongside an optic, with a black outline to help define the front post. It fits MOS slides and is listed for all Glock pistol models, making it a straightforward option for optic-ready setups. As with any co-witness system, the trade-off is that the taller sight profile is purpose-driven rather than minimalist.
