Glock Pistol 3 Dot Front And Novak Rear Night Sight Set


Trijicon performance: a winner once again
Definitely for the pistol shooter who likes the 3-dot sighting system. Bought and installed this model GL11 NS on a Gen3 G17 RTF2. Typical Trijicon quality; in other words it's the usual high standard one comes to expect from the company's Bright & Tough tritium sights. This is my first set with the Novak-style rear; after a few hundred rounds I've begun to prefer these over the less pricey and more common GL01 model, at least for range use. The dots on the GL11's Novak-style rear sights are spaced closer together than those on the GL01, making for me the task of acquiring the front sight and sighting it on target a bit more challenging, at least initially. But as I've been working on my draw I've gotten my muscle memory to the point that I can acquire the 17's sight picture quickly. The narrow sight window also means that there's a bit less estimating when it comes to centering the front sight dot between the two rear dots (presuming that the sights are aligned properly with the axis...
Novak/Trijicon Glock sights
Good price on the sights from Amazon. Nice sights. Not as bright as SIG sights, but good. Front sight a breeze to install. Did not come with any blue loctite so you will need to purchase some for the front screw. Rear sight took a lot of patience. Had to spend some time slowly filing the rear sight to get it to fit. Very tight. If you don't have a sight pusher and ability to fit a sight yourself, you will need to get a gunsmith to install it. This was on a new Glock 30SF.
Great night sites for carry
These are great sights, not too bright and novak style to prevent snares on clothing when concealing. One of the best improvements I've made to my Glock.
