Description
AmeriGlo built its reputation on front sights that let you find your dot fast, and the ProGlo GL-212-OR-C is a great example of that. It pairs a green tritium lamp with a wide orange circle outline, so in bright light your eye picks up the color instantly and in the dark the tritium keeps glowing without any batteries or charging. The result is a front sight that works the same way at high noon or midnight, which is exactly what you want on a defensive or carry gun.
What the AmeriGlo GL-212-OR-C Front Sight Brings to Your Glock
This is the standard .165 inch tall Glock front sight height with a .140 inch blade width, so it drops right into the factory sight picture on most Glock setups. The green center lamp gives you true low-light glow, while the orange painted ring around it creates that daytime contrast a lot of plain black sights lack. The blade itself is case hardened for durability, and the wider .140 width gives your eye a bit more to grab onto compared to the slimmer .125 options.
Fit and Setup Notes for the ProGlo Front Sight
This sight is designed to fit all Glock models, and the .165 height is meant to be run with an i-dot rear, ghost ring rear, or any rear sight that calls for a matching .165 front. It uses the standard Glock hex-screw front mounting, so installation is straightforward with the right tool. A tip worth passing along from folks who have installed these: the screw doesn't come pre-treated, so a small dab of blue threadlocker is cheap insurance to keep it from backing out under recoil.
Whether you're refreshing a well-used carry gun or building out a range Glock that you can see in any light, this ProGlo front is a proven, no-nonsense upgrade. It's a favorite for older eyes too, since that bright orange ring stands out against just about any background.

What rear sight should I pair with this .165 front?
This .165 height is meant to run with an i-dot rear, a ghost ring rear, or any rear sight designed to pair with a .165 inch front. Matching the front and rear heights is what keeps your point of aim and point of impact lined up, so check your rear's spec before pairing.
Is this AmeriGlo sight easy to install?
It uses the standard Glock hex-screw front mount, so it goes on quickly with the correct front sight tool. Many owners add a small dab of blue threadlocker to the screw since it doesn't come pre-treated, which helps keep it tight under recoil.
