Glock 19 Sight Options
Upgrade your Glock 19 with our premium tritium gun sights. We tailor sight pictures to your specific needs, from brightness, sight acquisition speed, or vision issues. R3D sights are traditional 3-Dot tritium, notch and post sights, DXT2s are our flagship express sights built for fast sight acquisition, and our F8 sights blend R3D and DXT2 sight pictures. Check our sight selector guide to learn more about our different sight pictures.
About the Glock 19
The Glock 19 handgun was popularized in the late 1980s and became the standard for compact 9mm handguns. The 9mm double stack pistol features a standard 15-round magazine capacity and uses a compact 4.02 inch barrel. The compact-size G19 is ideal for concealed carry and home defense. The slightly shorter grip and barrel aid in easy concealment while preserving the handling and shooting characteristics of its full-size counterpart. Glock’s do not require much maintenance and are known for being ready to fire out of the box. We have personally seen Glocks run for 25,000 rounds with no part changes. We probably should have changed the recoil spring a few times!
Glock Generation Compatibility
All XS Glock sights are compatible with every generation, including the Modular Optic System (MOS). Don’t get sucked into the Gen 5 compatible sight or MOS sight overhang forums. Our sights have been tested on numerous generations for the past 25-years. Our minimalistic sight designs have always shied away from big overhangs, saving us from launching a MOS-specific set due to the dovetail movement.
Glock Sight Installation
Are you looking at installing the sights yourself? Don’t worry; they are one of the easiest sets to install. Most of our rear sights can be installed by a sight pusher tool or the old hammer and punch method. Most of our Glock sights ship with a Glock front sight tool and red Vibra-Tite thread locker. The non-tritium R3D sights (Minimalist) do not ship with a front sight tool.
Each product page has detailed instructions per installation method, and you can also check out our Glock DIY install blog for some crafty ways to install sights if you don’t want to invest in a sight pusher tool or own a vise. We have expert gunsmiths on staff that can walk you through the process.
