Glock Straight-8 sights. Who makes them?

Pond, James Pond · June 16, 2013, 08:16 AM

I once tried a Glock G26 that was for sale with these sights and I must say I liked them.

I have Glock's own 3-dot night-sights on my G19, but I would dearly love to find some of these straight-8s: my aiming was much quicker with them, despite my greater experience with the normal 3-dot config'.

Now Midway USA stock some by Heinle/Trijicon, I think, but that service does not extend to Midway Germany, so I want to find the names for as many manufacturers of these tritium type sights as possible, so that I can have a look online and if any EU based gun-shops have a mail-order service I could use.

Note this is not a thread discussing the merits of this sight type or another. this is just a request for company and possibly product names for Straight-8 style, tritium sights to fit a 3rd Gen, G19.

Thanks!!

Heine makes the straight 8 sights. It is their design and to my knowledge they are the only ones that make "straight 8" sights. http://www.heinie.com/index.php?cPath=9_11

I'm sure that I saw a set of Trijicon sights in the same "over-under" configuration...

Anyway, I've emailed Heinie to see if they can ship!! Wish me luck...

There are trijicon inserts in Henie straight 8s but trijicon only supplies the inserts. They are still Henie sights.

Ameriglo makes a straight eight style night sight. I have them on all my Glocks.

I-Dot Pros is what they are referred as. They have them with fluorescent Orange and Lime green paint around the front Green Tritium. The rear can have a Yellow or Green Tritium.

Thanks for the link, tmoore912. Unfortunately, as expected Heinle can't/won't export. I'll give Ameriglo an email and see what they say...

I put the I-Dot Pro on my G23. I like them very much.

I dremelled a straight-8 rear blade sight for my Redhawk this afternoon.

Let's see how it performs!!

If it works for me, it seems like a cheap way to see if the Glock fitment ones are worth the bother.
