Description
Slim-frame Glocks like the 42, 43, 43X, and 48 have a following for a reason, and once you hang a suppressor or mill the slide for a red dot, your factory sights stop lining up. That's exactly the gap these Trijicon Suppressor/Optic Height Sights fill. The added height raises your sight plane so it clears the profile of a suppressor, and it sits tall enough to co-witness through most pistol-mounted mini red dots. This particular setup runs a yellow outline over a green tritium front lamp paired with a clean metal rear, giving you a fast, uncluttered aiming point front and center.
What Makes These Trijicon Suppressor Height Sights Tick
The glow comes from a tritium phosphor lamp that runs on its own with no batteries and no charging, so it's always ready when the lights drop. Trijicon builds these to take a beating: the tritium gas lamp sits inside a protective aluminum cylinder with silicone rubber cushioning to absorb recoil and impact. Each lamp is capped with a sapphire jewel that spreads the light evenly and shrugs off punctures and cleaning solvents. A white-painted ring around the front lamp keeps that yellow dot easy to pick up in daylight too.
Fitment and Setup for the Optic Height Sights
This set is cut for Glock slim-frame pistols including the 42, 43, 43X, 43E, and 48, and it's designed to work alongside the RMRcc mounting plate when you're running a mini red dot. The front sight measures 0.144 inches wide with a 0.503-inch height, and the rear stands 0.554 inches tall, which is the extra elevation you need for that suppressor and optic clearance. Sights sit in tight and take a fair bit of force to move, so professional installation with a proper sight pusher is the way to go rather than punching them with a hammer.
Backed by Trijicon's reputation for glass and tritium, the green front lamp carries a 12-year warranty from the date of manufacture, so you're set for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Trijicon suppressor height sights co-witness with a red dot?
Yes. The taller sight plane is built to serve as backup iron sights for a slide-mounted mini red dot such as the Trijicon RMR, and this set is designed for use with the RMRcc mounting plate. Exact co-witness (absolute vs. lower third) depends on your specific optic and slide cut.
Which Glock models do these fit?
They're cut for the slim-frame Glocks, covering the 42, 43, 43X, 43E, and 48. They will not fit standard double-stack frames like the 19 or 17, since those use a different sight geometry.
Does the rear sight have tritium too?
No. This configuration uses a single green tritium lamp in the yellow-outlined front sight paired with a plain metal rear. It gives you a clean, uncluttered rear notch that lets your eye drive straight to that glowing front dot in low light.
Can I install these myself?
Trijicon recommends professional installation, and for good reason. These sights fit tight and need a proper sight pusher to seat without damaging the sight or your slide, so a trip to a gunsmith or using a quality pusher tool is the smart move over trying to tap them in by hand.
