Description
Precision CNC machined from hardened 4140 tool steel and finished in black QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing (aka Melonite, same as the Glock slide).
- Fits: ALL Glock models, all calibers, all frame sizes, all slide sizes.
- Fiber optic (.060" rod with .075" diameter counterbore on 40lpi serrated blade face for flared bulb).
- Compatible with .250" blade height rear sights. NOT compatible with Glock factory rear sights, fixed or adjustable, as they are shorter than .250" blade height.
- Height: .215", .235" and .250"
- ALL Glock models, regardless of size, caliber, or generation, most commonly use the .215" front.
- Glock 34/35, 41, 17L, 24L most commonly uses the .235" front. Sights do not overhang slide cutout.
- Glock 48 uses .250" front with our Glock MOS Standard Height Rear Sight.
- The .235" front lowers impact approximately 2-3" at 25 yards relative to the .215" front.
- The .250" front lowers impact approximately 3-5" at 25 yards relative to the .215" front.
- Please note that different guns will vary in regards to point of impact, especially with differing shooter preference. These heights are recommendations, and we cannot guarantee point of impact due to variations in individual guns. Point of impact will vary by *individual gun* and not so much by generation.
- Width: .125", .115"
- Blade width is strictly personal preference. Thinner fronts cover less of the target area and are preferred for speed. Thicker blades like the .125" are preferred for improved accuracy and are our most popular.
All sights include set screw and one section each of red and green .060" fiber optic rods.
**INSTALL ONLY TO MAX TORQUE OF 6 INCH/LBS or else you may risk cracking the threaded post.
***Due to manufacturing tolerances by our fiber optic supplier, there may be slight variation in the diameter of the fiber optic rod. Use a razor blade or X-Acto knife at 90 degrees to the rod and gently scrape the outside diameter a little bit and it will fit right in without any compromise to the function.

Simply the best
What can we say about the quality of 10-8 sights that hasn't already been said? 10-8 sights are well executed and provide with options for every customer. If you want the best, regardless of preference, 10-8 likely has a sight that works for you. Thanks, Hilton, for the good work and solid product!

They don't get any better
We use this front sight as standard fare with the .156 U notch. It is an excellent balance of speed and accuracy. For those of us with aging eyes, it is highly recommended.

Brass bead front sight for G36
I purchased the #0502-235-3 front sight (.125" thick, .235" high, brass bead). For my particular G36, this height worked almost perfectly with the #05-156 rear sight. At 25 yards, I was impacting about 1/4" high. Fit an finish were excellent. The installation was straight forward. The sight picture is excellent and the brass bead seems to be extremely effective at drawing my eye while being subtle enough to not be distracting.

Great front sight
Durable, great front sight. Perfect design!

Glock brass bead front sight
10-8 parts are the highest quality available for the 1911, and Glock user. The service is consistently first class. The brass bead in combination with the 10-8 .156 rear sight provides a clear and fast sight picture for defensive shooting. I would like to encourage 10-8 to consider offering a large bead gold front sight too. It doesn't get any better than 10-8 quality!

Great Customer Service, Excellent Products!
Easy install. The tritium front with the .156 notch rear are my new favorite sights for my Glock pistols. Best customer service I've received in a long time as well. Thanks!

Fast, easy, accurate
I have trouble acquiring a proper sight picture - particularly under pressure as in an IDPA match. I also wear bi-focals, so I'm learning to adapt. Put a 10-8 rear and tritium front on my G19 and - 1st trip to the range - am very impressed. Running a few drills proved quite rewarding and I can't wait to this setup at the next match.
