Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear Glock 17 19 Elite

Description

The Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set is a suppressor and optic height pair for standard frame Glock pistols with a green tritium front lamp and orange tritium rear lamps. That colour split is the entire idea, and it solves a real problem that three identical green dots do not. Part GL201-C-600650.

Three Green Dots Have A Flaw

In the dark a conventional night sight set gives you three identical glowing points. Under stress, at an awkward angle, or with the pistol canted, it is genuinely possible to mistake a rear lamp for the front one and align the sights on something that is not your target.

The Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set removes the ambiguity by making the rear lamps a different colour. There is no interpretation required: the green one is the front sight, the orange pair is the rear, and your eye sorts it out instantly without conscious thought.

Coloured Rear Or Blacked Out Rear

There are two solutions to the same problem and Trijicon sells both. One is to delete the rear lamps entirely, leaving a single glowing front sight and nothing to confuse it with. The other is this one: keep the rear lamps for alignment but make them a different colour.

The blacked out approach is simpler and arguably faster. The Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear approach keeps something the other gives up, which is the ability to actually see your sight alignment in the dark rather than only your front sight. For deliberate shots in poor light that is worth having.

Suppressor And Optic Height

Overall front blade height is four hundred and eighteen thousandths of an inch with the rear at four hundred and fifty one. That is well above factory, which is what lets the blades clear a suppressor body or appear inside the window of a slide mounted red dot.

As backup irons behind an optic, the Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set has an advantage worth noting: if the dot dies you still have a full three lamp sight picture in the dark, not just a front sight, and you can shoot deliberately rather than approximately.

Daylight Is A Separate Question

The lamp colours only matter after dark. In daylight what you see is the white paint, and this set is ringed in white at both the front and the rear, which gives you the conventional three dot picture most shooters learned on.

So the Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set is a normal three dot sight by day and an unambiguous two colour sight by night. If you would rather the eye went only to the front blade in daylight too, a set with a blacked out rear is the better fit.

Why Shooters Choose The Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear Set

• Green front lamp and orange rear lamps, so the front sight is unmistakable
• Full three lamp alignment in the dark, not just a front sight
• Suppressor and optic height blades that co witness through most pistol red dots
• White rings front and rear for a familiar daylight sight picture
• Tight 0.15 in. square rear notch
• Covers nearly the whole standard frame Glock lineup

Notch And Blade Geometry

The front blade is one hundred and forty four thousandths wide inside a square rear notch of one hundred and fifty, leaving six thousandths of light either side. That is a precise picture that shows clearly when the front sight is centred and makes a sloppy index obvious.

It is the deliberate end of the scale rather than the fast and forgiving end. On a full size Glock with a decent sight radius the Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set will hold a tight group at twenty five yards, which is the point of a notch this size.

Tritium Construction

Each lamp is sealed in an aluminium cylinder, cushioned in silicone rubber against recoil and capped with a sapphire jewel that spreads the glow evenly while protecting it from bore solvent and from a slipped punch.

Tritium is self powered, so there is no battery, no switch and no charging under a light. It dims slowly over roughly a decade. Orange tritium is slightly less bright to the eye than green, which is part of why Trijicon uses green up front where it matters most on the Trijicon Suppressor Sights Orange Rear set.

Check The Height Before You Order

These are suppressor and optic height blades. On a pistol with irons only and no can they sit noticeably higher than factory and may catch a tight holster mouth. Buy them if you run a suppressor or have a red dot in a milled slide, and buy standard height if you do not.

The rear dovetail wants a proper sight pusher and the front is a hex nut torqued from inside the slide with thread locker.
