The AmeriGlo UC Night Sight Set brings reliable low-light performance to your Glock 42, 43, 43X, or 48—ideal for concealed carry and personal defense where a quick, confident sight picture can make all the difference. This tritium night sight set pairs a green-illuminated front sight with an orange outline and a serrated U-notch rear, engineered to speed up front sight acquisition while cutting glare in dim or no-light scenarios. The tritium glow is always ready, no batteries required, and the combination of illumination and high-contrast outline gives you multiple aiming references depending on available light.
The front sight's compact 0.140-inch blade width and modest height keep your draw smooth for concealed carry, while the tritium and orange ProGlo outline ensure you'll find your aim point fast in darkness or daylight. The rear sight's serrated surface breaks up reflections and improves control during one-hand slide manipulations—a practical touch for defensive use. Both sights feature case-hardened finishes built to withstand daily carry and training abuse.
AmeriGlo designed the UC (Universal Carry) profile specifically for everyday defensive pistols, and this set fits the compact and subcompact Glock lineup that dominates the concealed carry market. Compatible with Glock MOS slides if you're running an optic platform, the sights work alongside your red dot or stand alone. For anyone carrying a Glock 42, 43, 43X, or 48, a quality night sight upgrade is one of the smartest defensive investments you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these night sights work on my Glock 43X?
Yes. The AmeriGlo UC set is designed to fit the Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48. It also works on MOS-equipped slides if you're running a compatible red dot sight.
What's the difference between tritium and regular night sights?
Tritium sights glow in the dark without needing batteries or charging. The green tritium in the front sight of this set glows continuously in low light or darkness, while the orange outline provides a sight picture in daylight. Together, they give you aiming references across a wide range of lighting conditions.
Are these sights good for concealed carry?
They're purpose-built for it. The UC (Universal Carry) profile keeps the sights compact to avoid printing and snagging during the draw, making them ideal for everyday defensive carry on subcompact and compact Glocks.
What does the serrated rear sight do?
The serrations break up light reflections that could give away your position in low light, and the textured surface gives you better control and grip when manipulating the slide one-handed, which is a practical defensive technique.
