Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 Proven Tritium Set

Description

One part number covers most of the Glock line, and this is it. The Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 set is Trijicon GL01-600210, the Bright and Tough night sights configuration that fits every standard frame Glock from the 17 and 19 through the 22, 23, 26, 27, 34, 35 and the 45. If you own more than one Glock, there is a good chance this single set fits all of them.

What the Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 Set Fits

Trijicon lists fitment as the Glock 17, 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39 and 45. That covers 9mm, .40 Smith and Wesson, .357 SIG, .380 and .45 GAP across compact, standard and long slide frames, in every generation from the third through the fifth. What it does not cover is the slimline family, so Glock 42, 43, 43X and 48 owners need the small frame part number instead, and the large frame 20, 21, 29, 30, 40 and 41 pistols take a third set.

The front sight in the Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 set carries a white outline ring around a green tritium lamp, and the rear carries two matching lamps with white outlines. In daylight your eye catches the white rings; after dark the rings vanish and three green dots remain. Trijicon caps each lamp with a sapphire jewel to spread light evenly and shield the glass, seats it in an aluminium cylinder, then rests the cylinder on a silicone cushion so slide cycling never hammers the lamp directly.

That cushioning matters more on this set than on a slimline one. A .40 Smith and Wesson Glock 22 or 23 runs a noticeably faster slide than a 9mm, and cheap night sights are where that shows up first. These green tritium three dot sights are rated for that abuse, which is why the Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 set turned into the default duty upgrade for a generation of police armourers.

Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 Specifications

The Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 set ships at standard height. On an MOS slide with a red dot mounted they will sit below the optic window rather than co-witnessing through it, so if you are running an optic and want backup irons you can actually see through the glass, order the suppressor height version instead. On a plain slide they index exactly where the factory sights did, so holster fit and draw stroke do not change.

Honest Notes on the Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 Set

Tritium decays. The half life is roughly twelve years, which is why Trijicon warrants the lamps for twelve rather than for life. A set fitted today will be obviously dimmer at year ten and close to useless by year twenty. That is physics, not a defect, and it applies to every tritium sight on the market. If you are buying a used duty Glock with night sights already on it, look for a date code before you assume they still glow.

Green front and green rear is the traditional layout and it is not the quickest to index. Sets with a bright orange or yellow ring on the front only give the eye something unmistakable to snap to, and many shooters are measurably faster with them. The Trijicon Night Sights Glock 17 19 45 set trades that edge for symmetry and for a front sight that stays visually neutral, which some people prefer for precision work. Neither choice is wrong, but it is worth deciding before you order.

Fitting them is a press job. The rear dovetail on a Glock is tight and needs a sight pusher, and the front sight uses a hex nut inside the slide that wants the correct tool and a dab of thread locker. A gunsmith will do the whole set in ten minutes for the price of a box of ammunition. Budget for that rather than for a tool you will use once, and plan to confirm zero afterwards since a new front sight can shift point of impact slightly.
