Frequently Asked Questions

What makes AmeriGlo CAP sights a recommended upgrade for Glock pistols?

AmeriGlo CAP sights are recommended because they significantly improve upon inadequate factory Glock sights. They offer a high-visibility square fluorescent front post with a tritium insert for better aiming in various lighting conditions, unlike the often too-wide front posts on stock sights.

What are the key features of AmeriGlo CAP sights?

CAP sights feature a square fluorescent front sight available in orange, green, or yellow, with a central tritium insert for low-light visibility. They come in widths of .140 or .125 and are designed to fit most Glock models and calibers, offering a distinct sight picture.

How long do AmeriGlo CAP sights last, especially the tritium component?

While tritium inserts typically last 10-15 years, AmeriGlo CAP sights are designed for longevity. The luminescent paint on the front sight continues to function and provide visibility even after the tritium's glow diminishes over time, ensuring continued usability.

Are there different versions of the AmeriGlo CAP sights?

Yes, AmeriGlo offers variants beyond the standard CAP sights. These include the Spalding variant, which features a plain black serrated rear sight, and the LE version, which incorporates two tritium vials in the rear sight for enhanced low-light aiming.
