Description
AmeriGlo's Classic Tritium set is the sight upgrade a whole lot of Glock owners reach for first, and for good reason. It swaps out the stock plastic "ball in the bucket" sights for a proven 3-dot layout with self-luminous tritium lamps that glow on their own, no batteries and no charging required. The front sight uses a green tritium lamp ringed with a white outline, while the rear carries two yellow tritium lamps with white outlines. That green front and yellow rear color split makes the front dot easy to isolate fast, which is exactly what you want when your eyes are working overtime in low light.
What Sets the GL5115 Apart
These aren't cast pot-metal sights. The housings are machined from steel and the tritium vials are Swiss-made, which is the good stuff when it comes to brightness and lifespan. Tritium naturally dims over years of service, so quality vials matter if you want dependable glow down the road. In daylight the white outlines give you a clean, high-contrast picture, and once the sun drops the three dots light up on their own so your pistol is ready whenever you are.
Fit and Setup on Your Glock Gen5
The GL5115 is cut for Gen5 models including the 17, 19, 19x, 26, and 34. Front sights thread in with a small hex screw and a dab of thread locker, and most folks find them straightforward once the screw is snugged and the blade is squared to the bore. The rear is a dovetail fit and rides in best with a sight pusher, which keeps the slide free of scratches and protects the tritium vials from the shock of a hammer and punch. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, any gunsmith can knock the install out in a few minutes.
This Classic 3-dot design has been a longtime favorite for personal defense, duty, and everyday carry, and it's a smart pick if you want a durable, no-nonsense night sight that just works when the lights go out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glock models does the AmeriGlo GL5115 fit?
This set is cut for Gen5 Glock pistols, including the 17, 19, 19x, 26, and 34. Always confirm your slide is a Gen5 before ordering, since sight cuts can differ between generations. The GL5115 is dedicated to the Gen5 platform.
Do the tritium sights need batteries or charging?
No. Tritium glows on its own through a self-luminous reaction, so there are no batteries to replace and nothing to charge before a range trip or a night out. The lamps stay lit around the clock, which is what makes them ready when the lights are low.
Can I install the GL5115 myself or do I need a gunsmith?
Plenty of owners install these at home. The front sight threads in with a hex screw and a little thread locker, while the rear is a dovetail fit that goes in cleanest with a sight pusher. A pusher is strongly recommended over a hammer and punch so you don't scratch the slide or crack a fragile tritium vial, but any gunsmith can handle the job quickly if you'd rather not.
How long will the tritium in the GL5115 stay bright?
Tritium has a half-life of roughly 12 years, so the glow gradually fades over time rather than shutting off suddenly. AmeriGlo uses Swiss-made vials, which are known for strong, consistent brightness through years of daily service. You can generally expect a solid decade or more of usable glow.
