What sights for gen 5 17 and 19?

[kitsune312]

Im looking to change from a gen 4 to a gen 5 for my glock 17 and 19. 

 

What sights would you recommend for the gen 5?

 

Would they both work for the 17 and 19? 

 

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Dawson adjustable should work for both, fiber optic front sight.

Pull the sights from your gen 4 or do you not like them?  Also what’s the use??

 

17 and 19 would use the same sights

I prefer the Dawson adjustable sights but I’ve been looking at the TTI sights. The Taran front sight is a little wider and the fiber is crazy bright. I found that I like a slightly wider front sight and the adjustable is nice but I never change my load so there’s not a lot of point in them for me.

I use Dawson on all my glocks, but it absolutely drives me nuts that they constantly rust.  TTI are made of stainless steel and won’t rust, they are probably the better option if you don’t need an adjustable rear.

Install the sights from your Gen 4 Glocks on your Gen 5 Glocks.

Stainless will rust, but much slower than carbon.

Can you do anything to the Dawson's to prevent rusting?

I've put some light oil on from time to time as the instructions have suggested.  And I have had a little rust from time to time after shooting in the rain, but it seems to go away after a little oil and has never affected the shootability.

I would recommend for competition shooting Dawson and for carry I would recommend Truglo TFX Night Sights.

Trijicon HD XR

For carry what  J-Rob said Trijicon HD XR.

I’m a big fan of the Sevigny sights made by Warren. The rear notch is deep and wide making it easy to get a very quick sight picture that you can then refine as necessary. 

They also offer a carry version with rounded corners if that’s your thing.

yes i have warren/sevigny competitions on all my glocks

Dawson adjustable is nice for comp use..If you change loads or get a point of impact shift it’s really easy to dial them in precisely. For carry I have one set of Hackathorn sights I really like, they are a blacked out rear, with colored dot up front.

I have the Heinie Straight Eights on all my Glock’s, for carry and sport.  I like the size of the “light bars” and I seem to pick the sight picture up quickly.

Agreed. These are my preference as well.

I like Dawson sights. Adjustable for competition or fixed for carry.

Sevigny Sight's for sure..  On a Glock , Sevigny's the only way to go..

I dont know if anyone else mentioned the Vogel sight or not. I have a set of those and like them as well, they are similar to the warrens but have a deeper rear notch.

For competition I use the Dawson Adjustable with fiber optic front.

I just got a set of Trijicon HD that I seem to really like. For adjustable Dawson’s are the whip
