Racingsnake Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Which aftermarket sites do you recommend for a Glock 17 for IDPA? Would your advice be different on the same gun being carried for SD? Best regards, Racingsnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKenny Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Taran tactical or Warren Sevigny 17 is my carry gun and it has the Tarans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Taran Tactical is one good choice. Edited May 17, 2014 by JBP55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 For a duel role gun, I'd go with a Warren Tactical set with a Tritium front and a target rear. I haven't seen the TTIs so I don't know what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loneranger04 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don't know how old you are but a wider rear sight allows for more light and as your eyes age more light is better. I can't remember what brand I'm using but I always get the wider rear sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 For competiton - Dawson For carry - Trijicon HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Dawson for sure....... https://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80001917-1390506928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvocatusDiaboli Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) For competiton - Dawson For carry - Trijicon HD +1. I'll add that I prefer the orange Trijicon HD sight over the yellow. Edited May 17, 2014 by AdvocatusDiaboli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Just for competition, Dawson fiber optics. If also for SD, Trijicon HD or Ameriglo with the ProGlo front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericridebike Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I like an Ameriglo fiber rod front sight with their plain black rear with U-shaped notch. Great setup and fairly affordable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I like the Dawson fiber front with black HD rear For SD the fiber front would not be my first choice but I would be okay with it. First choice would be a night sight in front and still have the black rear. Just my personal preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaranTactical Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah, we have a new version too. Raised up the rear a bit, so POA is a bit better. Same design on the front sight, and still being used by guys like Bob Vogel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE1010 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah, we have a new version too. Raised up the rear a bit, so POA is a bit better. Same design on the front sight, and still being used by guys like Bob Vogel. The best sights for your Glock! They don't rust like so many others out there do, just the right amount of notch width in the rear, the fiber optic is super bright thanks to the stainless screw reflecting more light and the fiber optic is on top where it should be.

ES13Raven Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah, we have a new version too. Raised up the rear a bit, so POA is a bit better. How tall is the rear sight now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLeeCZ Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Have bought a couple sets of Dawson's, Glock and XDM, but finding the Taran Tacticals appealing. Might try a set for my G21. Like the idea of being made of stainless. Front fiber rod easily replaced? Edited May 23, 2014 by JLeeCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLeeCZ Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Think I will go ahead and order a set. These are bought direct from TTI, correct? Any harder to install than Dawsons? Wouldn't think they would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaranTactical Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) The original rear sight was .240 tall correct? I believe .230. EDIT: So right now, it's a .230 front and a .245 rear. Edited May 23, 2014 by TaranTactical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 One question if I may, I am getting ready to build a 24 long slide and was wondering if the standard TTI sights will be close to POA or do you make a taller front sight for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
