The AmeriGlo GL470 optic compatible sight set for Glock delivers the elevated sight picture you need when running a slide-mounted red dot optic. These 2XL tall sights are engineered to co-witness with your optic, giving you a precise aiming reference through the window and a rock-solid backup if your electronics fail. Built for Glock Gen4 and Gen5 MOS-cut slides, they're particularly well-suited to work alongside modern mini red dots like the Vortex Viper, letting you shoot confidently with either the optic or irons in any light.
What makes AmeriGlo's optic-compatible design different is the thought behind sight height. The 2XL sizing—with a front blade of 0.350" and a rear assembly standing 0.429" tall—is calibrated to put your line of sight at the right plane relative to your mounted optic. That means no weird head position, no canting; you get a natural sight picture that works for both the red dot and the irons. The serrated black blade cuts glare and gives you a non-reflective sight that won't ghost under a scope or catch unwanted light.
These are the kind of sights that remind you why backup iron sights matter. Optics are great until they aren't—a dead battery, a broken lens, or a simple mechanical failure can leave you blind. AmeriGlo sights keep you in the fight. They're made to last, tough enough for carry, range sessions, or duty use, and they fit all Glock models, so your setup stays consistent across the lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights co-witness with my red dot optic?
Yes. The AmeriGlo GL470 is designed as an optic-compatible sight set, meaning the 2XL height is calibrated to provide a proper co-witness picture with slide-mounted red dots. This lets you aim through the optic window and also use the irons as a backup if needed.
Do these sights fit my Glock and MOS-cut slide?
These sights fit all Glock models and are optimized for Glock Gen4 and Gen5 MOS slides, which have the factory-cut optic mounting surface.
What's included in the sight set?
The GL470 is a complete front and rear sight set. You receive both a serrated black front blade and a serrated black rear blade, ready to install on your Glock.
Why choose 2XL tall sights for an optic setup?
The 2XL height raises your sight picture to align properly with the plane of your mounted red dot optic. This gives you a natural, ergonomic sight picture when looking through the optic window and ensures your backup irons are truly useful if the optic fails.
