The AmeriGlo GL-480 is a purpose-built sight set for anyone running a micro red dot on a Glock 43X or 48 MOS. It pairs a 1L tall green tritium front sight wrapped in a white outline with a flat black rear, giving you a taller sight picture that lines up right with a slide-mounted optic. That extra height is the whole point here, letting the irons sit up where you can use them alongside the dot instead of getting buried under the optic housing.
These sights are cut for the slimline Glocks and designed to co-witness with popular K-footprint optics like the Holosun 407K and 507K when paired with the right adapter plate. If your dot ever loses battery or fogs up, the front tritium lamp glows in the dark so you still have a real aiming reference. Owners running these on 43X and 48 MOS setups consistently point to that peace of mind as the reason they add irons to an optics build in the first place.
The green tritium front comes measured at .220 inches, and the white outline around the lamp gives you a bright, high-contrast dot to pick up fast in daylight. Out back, the .295 inch flat black rear stays plain and glare-free so your eye goes straight to the front. It's a clean, no-nonsense sight picture with a square notch that's easy to run under pressure or on the clock.
AmeriGlo builds these from solid materials and they've earned a strong reputation as a go-to aftermarket sight brand for Glock owners. Installation is straightforward with a proper sight pusher and front sight tool, though a lot of folks prefer having a shop press them in for perfect alignment. Whether the gun rides in a carry holster or spends time at the range, this set gives you a reliable elevated co-witness that doesn't add bulk to the slim slide.
Yes, this set is designed to co-witness with K-footprint optics like the Holosun 407K and 507K on the 43X and 48 MOS. You'll typically want an adapter plate such as a CHPWS or similar to get the optic sitting flush and the sights lining up in the window. The exact co-witness height can shift slightly depending on the plate and optic combo you run.
No, only the front sight uses tritium on this set. The rear is a flat black sight with no dots or lamps, which is intentional so your eye focuses on the glowing green front. That blacked-out rear also cuts down on glare and keeps the sight picture clean.
You can, as long as you have a proper Glock sight pusher and a front sight tool. The rear drifts into the dovetail and the front is a screw-in style, so it's a manageable job for someone comfortable working on their pistol. Plenty of owners still choose to have a shop press them in to guarantee the rear is centered.
Yes, the sights fit both the standard and MOS versions of the 43X and 48. The optic-compatible height is built with red dot use in mind, but the set installs and functions on a non-optic slide as well. Keep in mind the taller front sight is meant to pair with a dot, so it sits a bit higher than typical factory irons.
