Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of AmeriGlo Spartan night sights over factory Glock sights?

AmeriGlo Spartan sights are made of all-metal construction, offering superior durability and quality compared to the factory plastic Glock sights. They also feature brighter tritium inserts for better low-light visibility and a square notch rear sight preferred by some for enhanced precision.

How do AmeriGlo Spartan sights compare to Trijicon HD night sights?

AmeriGlo Spartans are generally less expensive than Trijicon HDs. While Trijicon HDs have a wide U-notch rear sight with glare-reducing serrations, the AmeriGlo Spartans feature a square notch rear sight, which the speaker finds beneficial for precision shooting. Both utilize Trijicon-manufactured tritium inserts.

What are the front sight options for the AmeriGlo Spartan Tactical Operator Night Sights?

The AmeriGlo Spartan sights are available with either a non-luminescent orange front sight or a luminescent yellow front sight. The yellow version can be charged with a flashlight to glow in the dark, aiding in low-light conditions.

Where can I purchase AmeriGlo Spartan night sights for my Glock 43 or 42?

The video mentions that OpticsPlanet.com carries the orange front sight version and offers a discount code 'B9USA'. A link to AmeriGlo's website is also suggested for other options, as the yellow Glock 43 version may not be available on OpticsPlanet.
