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.

Glock Tactical Light/Laser W/Dimmer


Amazingly Bright and Acurate
While the Glock light/laser is on the expensive side, I believe you will find it worth it once you have used it. The flashlight portion of the light is amazingly bright and will temporarily blind anyone except perhaps someone who is outdoors in bright sunlight wearing sunglasses. For anyone in a dark or dimly lit room, it is sure to cause temporary blindness for up to 20 seconds (This is my guess, since I did not try this on anyone because of potential harm and I would not want to establish a "safe" time that anyone would use in a potential life threatening situation). The laser portion of the light is easily seen in any indoor or outdoor lighting. Obviously, its visibility is reduced by increases in ambient light.

I have this laser/light mounted to a Glock 19 which has a very short rail below the barrel on which the light mounts securely. Once the laser is "zeroed in" (an easy process) it remains so, no matter how many times the light is removed from the rail. There...
Excellent
I have the Glock 19C. This unit attaches easily & securely to the Glock. My method for calibrating the laser was to visually coordinate the laser beam with the night sights. The unit I purchased was already calibrated to meet my satisfaction. The setting lever is easily moved from position to position & does not draw on the battery. The lever to activate the setting is easy to reach to turn the light/laser on or off. As noted by another it is a bit more expensive than some other units, but reviews suggest that it is sturdier than less expensive models. It also has features not found on many of the cheaper models. For someone who expects to attach a laser/light weapon on a nightstand & rarely if ever use it perhaps an inexpensive model would be fine. But after reading reviews of many units I think a professional will want to seriously consider this Glock Taac Light.
Glock Tac Light w/laser Tac Light w/laser All Glocks w/Rails Black w/dimmer w/laser TAC4065
Outstanding device for my Glock 21. Strong light source that can be focused to a narrow beam or a wide beam allowing flexibility whether using in indoor or outdoor engagements. Laser is useful even in full daylight; the furtherest I projected in daylight is 75ft and the red dot was still clear. Easy to switch from light to laser and then to both with the trigger finger. Fired over 200 rounds with no degradation in the light or laser.

The first time you install the Glock Tac Light/Laser system it may be difficult to to get it to lock. Use a small file and "lightly" file the edge of the engagement lip until it easier to intall; file in small increments. Study the lip engagement area to visualize how it locks and then file appropriately. When you install the device, you will hear a click indicating the light/laser system has locked. Some folks I've spoken to said they had no problem with initial fitup - worked straight out the box; and others said they had to do a little...
