Description

The AmeriGlo Hackathorn set is one of those upgrades that changes how you shoot without changing your whole gun. It swaps out your factory plastic Glock sights for a green tritium front dot wrapped in a bold orange ProGlo outline, paired with a plain black serrated rear. The whole idea is simple: your eye finds the front sight fast, in bright sun or pitch dark, and stays there. Folks who run them tend to say the same thing, that they point like a red dot and the orange front pops the second you present the gun.

What Makes the Hackathorn Setup Work

Ken Hackathorn spent decades teaching small arms for the Army Special Forces, and this design reflects that background. The single-dot front with a clean, unlit serrated rear removes the clutter of a traditional three-dot picture. Instead of your eye bouncing between three glowing dots, it settles on one clear reference. The serrations on the rear knock down glare and reflection, which keeps your focus locked forward where accuracy actually happens.

Built Tough and Built to Last

AmeriGlo machines these from US-made bar stock steel and uses Swiss-made tritium lamps, so you get real durability instead of a soft aftermarket part. The tritium glows on its own with no batteries or charging, and the lamps carry a 12-year warranty. That green glow is bright enough to give you a clear aiming point when the lights go out, making this a solid pick for a carry gun, home-defense pistol, or a range gun you just want to shoot better with.

Fit and Setup on Your Glock

The standard front post runs .165 inches tall, which is dialed in for most Gen 1 through 4 models like the 17, 19, 22, 23, and 26. A sight pusher makes install quick and clean, and most people report no filing or fitting needed straight out of the box. If you shoot a longer-slide 34 or 35 and want to fine-tune your point of impact at distance, keep in mind those benefit from a taller front, so match your setup to your pistol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the AmeriGlo Hackathorn set fit my Glock?

This set covers a wide range of Gen 1 through 4 Glocks, including the 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39. It is not made for Gen 5 pistols or MOS models, so double-check your generation before ordering. If you run a Gen 5 or MOS Glock, AmeriGlo makes other sets that are the right match.

How hard is it to install the Hackathorn sights?

Most people install these with a sight pusher and have them on in a few minutes with no filing or fitting needed. The steel construction and clean machining mean they typically drop right into the dovetails. A little thread locker on the front screw is a common step to keep everything locked down.

Do the tritium sights need batteries or charging?

No, the front sight glows on its own using a self-powered tritium lamp, so there is nothing to charge or switch on. The green glow gives you a clear aiming point in low light and total darkness. AmeriGlo backs the tritium lamp with a 12-year warranty.

Why does the Hackathorn set use a plain black rear instead of a three-dot?

The blacked-out serrated rear is intentional, designed to cut glare and remove distraction so your eye locks onto the front dot. That single-point focus is what makes these fast to pick up and why a lot of shooters compare the sight picture to running a red dot. The serrations also give you a bit of texture for one-hand slide manipulations.
