Sights for the Glock 17 MOS

A title with "front sight" or "rear sight" means a single part. All other sights are sets of front and rear sight.

Which sights to choose

• You use a red dot: co-witness sights. They are tall enough to see through the red dot window.
• You shoot with iron sights only: low sights. They sit close to the slide.
• You want to set the elevation: semi-adjustable sights. You set windage by moving the sight in the dovetail.
• You only want a brighter front sight: a single front sight.

The sights in detail

• Co-witness sights from Angry Bear, in blank, fiber optic and tritium. They are taller than standard sights, so you see them through the window of a red dot on the slide.
• Low sights from Angry Bear, in blank. They sit close to the slide and suit shooting with iron sights only.
• Front sights from Angry Bear. You change only the front sight and keep the rear sight.
• Semi-adjustable co-witness sights from LPA, in fiber optic, luminescent dots and white dots. They are tall enough for a red dot and you set the elevation with a screw.
• Other sight sets from Night Fision, in blank and tritium.

How to zero adjustable sights

Shoot a group at a fixed distance. Move the rear sight in the direction you want the point of impact to move: to the right to move hits to the right, up to move hits up. Turn the screw a few clicks at a time and shoot again.

Fit

• They do not fit classic (non-MOS) variants.
• Will not fit factory Glock Sight

Sight picture

Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without any marks. Tritium glows in the dark without charging. Fiber optic collects daylight and shines brightly at the range and in competition. Luminescent dots charge in light and glow for a while in the dark. White dots give contrast without glowing.

Installation

Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You drift the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. The Glock front sight is held by a screw from the inside of the slide, so you need a front sight screwdriver. See Installation tools.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the sights on my Glock 17 MOS at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. For the front sight you need a Glock front sight screwdriver. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.

Which sights should I choose for my Glock 17 MOS?

It depends on how you shoot:

• You use a red dot: co-witness sights. They are tall enough to see through the red dot window.
• You shoot with iron sights only: low sights. They sit close to the slide.
• You want to set the elevation: semi-adjustable sights. You set windage by moving the sight in the dovetail.
• You only want a brighter front sight: a single front sight.

Do these sights fit both the classic and the Optics Ready variant?

No. They do not fit classic (non-MOS) variants.

Do I get both the front and the rear sight?

Yes, unless the title says "front sight" or "rear sight". Then you get only that part.
