Glock 42 Sight Options
Upgrade your Glock 42 with our premium tritium night sights. We tailor sights 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.
Glock Generation Compatibility
Our Tritium 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 Glock 42 sight designs have always shied away from big overhangs, saving us from launching a MOS-specific set due to the dovetail movement.
About the Glock 42
The slim line Glock 42 introduced a .380 ACP caliber Glock to the American market. The sub-compact size, narrow width and 6 round magazine capacity brought Glock’s formidable reputation for durability and reliability to the sub-compact pocket carry segment of the market. The G42 is an excellent option as a deep concealment pistol.
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.
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.
