Description
The AmeriGlo GL411 is built for one job and does it well: giving you a reliable set of iron sights that sit tall enough to be seen through a mounted red dot. When you cut or mill a Glock slide for an optic, your factory sights disappear below the window. These XL tall sights bring the front post and rear notch back into view so if your dot ever goes dark, you already have a usable sight picture waiting for you.
The front sight is a green tritium lamp wrapped in a white outline ring, so it draws your eye fast in daylight and glows on its own when the sun goes down. The rear is a flat black notch with no dots or paint, which keeps things clean and stops the rear from competing with your dot or front sight through the optic glass. That black-rear, tritium-front combo is a favorite among folks running an RMR, Holosun, or similar because it gives you a crisp reference without cluttering the window.
Where the GL411 Fits In Your Setup
Measuring .315 inch up front and .394 inch at the rear with a .125 inch front blade width, this set is sized to co-witness with popular slide-mounted optics like the Trijicon RMR, Holosun 509T, Aimpoint ACRO, and Steiner MPS. Whether you land at lower 1/3 or closer to absolute depends on your specific optic and how deep the slide is milled, so it helps to match the set to the dot you're actually running. On a pistol, remember the irons are your backup, not something you stare at alongside the dot.
Built To Take a Beating
AmeriGlo machines these from steel with a matte black finish and uses Swiss-made tritium, so you're getting a set that holds zero and stands up to daily carry and range time. The GL411 covers Glock Gen 1 through Gen 5 and drops into MOS slides, fitting all models except the 42 and 43. A sight pusher makes install straightforward, and it's not unusual to lightly dress a tight dovetail on an aftermarket slide for a snug fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the AmeriGlo GL411 co-witness with my red dot?
Yes, that's exactly what these XL tall sights are made for. Depending on your optic and how the slide is cut, you'll typically land somewhere between lower 1/3 and absolute co-witness. Sets like this pair well with the Trijicon RMR, Holosun 509T, Aimpoint ACRO, and Steiner MPS, so it's smart to match the height to the dot you're running.
What Glocks does the GL411 fit?
This set fits Glock Gen 1 through Gen 5 and works on MOS slides. It covers all Glock models except the 42 and 43. As long as your slide uses the standard Glock dovetail, you're good to go.
Why is the rear sight all black instead of having dots?
The flat black rear keeps your sight picture clean when you're looking through an optic. It stops the rear from competing with your dot and front sight in the window, which is why a lot of red dot users prefer this tritium-front, black-rear layout. Your eye goes straight to the glowing front post without distraction.
Do I need special tools to install these sights?
A sight pusher tool makes the job simple and helps you avoid damaging the sights or slide. On some aftermarket slides with thicker coatings, you may need to lightly dress the dovetail for a snug fit, which is normal and not a defect. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, most gunsmiths can knock this out quickly.
