AmeriGlo GT-500

Anyone using the GT-500 sight set from AmeriGlo? Any thought on them mounted to a G19 for a range/competition gun? Would this be an upgrade over the stock sights?

ANY sights are an upgrade to the oem Glock sights.

They're great, WAY better than stock (anything is though). Those have a really thin front (.090) but they'll probably work great on a shorter G19. I use the Defoor set which is the same rear with a .115 wide front on a G17 and they kick ass (set GT-505).

FWIW, depending on what ammo you'll be using you might want to get the set for the 20,21's (GT-501) with the taller rear if you want your POI to hit at the top of the blade, I mostly shoot 115gr stuff from wallymart and 124gr +P Gold Dots for carry and every set of Ameriglo's I've had (5 sets) hit low for me at a "drive the dot" POI, with all-black irons that gets annoying IMHO, YMMV.

I'm curious to get a new pair of sights. I've been shooting with the stock set for a while and I guess I didn't realize how bad they really were!

Still doing some research. A lot of the more popular names of sets seem to be in the $75 and up range. These seemed nice for the price, but I just wanted to make sure. If anyone has any suggestions that would be way better than the AmeriGlo's for not too much more $$, I'm interested to hear.

Thanks guys.

Think you'll find the Warren/Sevigny's are pretty much the standard as far as Glock competition sights go, but the Dawson set-ups and a few of the Heinie sets are great too, for whatever reason they cost more than Ameriglo's but they're all up at the same quality standards.

The Ameriglo Defoor set I use is actually the same exact widths/ratios as the Warren/Sevigny comp's, just not as tall off the slide which I prefer since I find them better for carry, also they've got a more traditional glock rear profile which I like (oh, and they're cheaper, but it's not about saving the $20 bucks or so, Ameriglo's are just a good deal).
