When you mount a red dot on a Glock, your factory irons drop below the optic window and stop pulling their weight. The AmeriGlo GL506 fixes that with a 3XL tall front and rear set built to sit up where you can use it. This is the plain black-on-black version, so there is no tritium here, just clean, purpose-built steel sights that ride high enough to co-witness through your dot or clear the top of a suppressor.
The front sight measures .365 inches tall with vertical serrations across the face, which cut glare and give your eye a crisp post to grab in a hurry. The rear sits at .451 inches with a flat black blade and a defined notch, so nothing competes with your front sight for attention. That serrated-front-and-flat-rear layout is a proven setup for fast, repeatable sight alignment, and it makes a great backup the day your battery dies or your lens fogs over.
Most folks running a pistol red dot land on a lower one-third co-witness, and this 3XL height is cut to put your irons in the bottom of the optic window without crowding the glass. The dot floats up top, the front post parks below it, and if the electronics ever quit you already have a solid iron picture waiting. It is also the right call if you shoot suppressed, since standard-height sights disappear behind a can while these stay visible.
The set is machined from steel and finished in matte black nitride, and it fits across Glock Gen 1 through 5 frames along with MOS slides. That covers the usual suspects like the G17, G19, G34, G45, and G19X. It does not fit the slimline 42 and 43 pattern, so if you are running one of those, look for the model matched to that slide. Made in the USA and built to hold zero through a lot of rounds, the GL506 is a straightforward upgrade for anyone building out an optics-ready carry or range gun.
Yes, that is exactly what this 3XL tall set is built for. On most optic-ready Glocks it gives you a lower one-third style co-witness, so the dot sits up in the clear part of the window while the irons wait in the bottom third. The exact picture depends on your optic's deck height, but you will have a usable backup reference if the dot ever goes dark.
No, this particular GL506 is the plain black-on-black version with no tritium. The front face is serrated to cut glare and the rear is a flat black blade, which keeps the sight picture clean and high-contrast in daylight. If you want glowing dots for low light, AmeriGlo makes tritium versions of the same optic-compatible set.
It fits standard Glock frames across Gen 1 through Gen 5, including MOS slides, covering common models like the G17, G19, G34, G45, and G19X. It does not fit the slimline 42 and 43 pattern pistols. As always, confirm your exact model before installing.
The rear sight drifts into a dovetail and is best installed with a sight pusher tool for clean, damage-free seating. The front sight threads on from underneath the slide and calls for a Glock front sight tool. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, most gunsmiths can knock this out quickly.
