Glock 34 supressor sight height???

[CPD7119]

I've got a gen 5 Glock 34 MOS that I'm putting a Holosun 509T V2 on with a CHPWS plate. I have no idea what height supressor sights I'll need. Anyone have any recommendations? Preference is for blacked out front and rear.

I've asked about that same setup before and was told Ameriglo GL-429 were the right height, but haven't confirmed this myself.

Pardon the thread hijack, but if this is a purely competition gun, may I recommend "No Sights"?

 

Traditionally trained shooters will almost always default to a front sight focus.  RDS users should optimally use a target focus, which is the biggest advantage of the RDS.  If you stick a set of sights into that window, it gets "busy" with a bunch of stuff to look at.  Lots of people will shift to a front sight focus, although they're supposedly still watching the dot and its movement.  That slows them down and obviates the advantage of the dot....

 

One may say, "But what about using the sights to allow the shooter to find the dot if it's out of the window?".  If that is an issue, dry fire and repetition is the cure, not iron sights.

I know what you're saying, but if you're using blacked out sights that end up right down low in the lens, they're not really in the way and you don't really notice them, I don't even use them when I can't find the dot  That's how they came on my gun and I just left them because I figure one day my red Dot's going to die and I can finish a stage or a match, because I'm not  serious enough to buy a backup dot and or gun LOL 

 

Unfortunately for the op, I use a different gun and sight setup so I have no idea what height sights he needs

Not just a comp gun, gotta have back up sights. I plan on using the blacked out sight to make things less busy.

I use these on a 19x that was cut for an rmr.

Ameriglo GL-429 for RMR or Holosun. GL-470 if using SRO. These work well for me using CHPWS plates on Gen 5 MOS Glocks (19, 17, 45, 34).

I have the Holosun 507C and the AmeriGlo GL429 sights and are a perfect fit and aim on a G34 Gen3.

Pretty sure Dawson Precision has suppressor height sights for the 34 Gen 5 Mos

I found the use of 'suppressor height' sights a useful aid when using a red dot.  Only needed the front sight in 'locating' the dot, especially outdoors in bright sunshine (not at a range).  The 'push' to locate the dot was slower and did require some 'scanning' of the 'window'.
