Frequently Asked Questions
Will the AmeriGlo Protector fit my Glock Gen4 or Gen3 pistol?
These sights are specifically engineered for Glock Gen5 9mm and .40 S&W models. Glock Gen3 and Gen4 frames use a different front sight post footprint, so fitment is not guaranteed. AmeriGlo offers separate sight sets designed for earlier Glock generations — check the model number carefully before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific pistol.
How long does the tritium illumination last?
AmeriGlo uses high-quality tritium vials that maintain effective brightness for approximately 12 years under normal conditions. Tritium is a self-luminous, radioactive gas that requires no batteries or external charging — it glows continuously day and night. After the 12-year half-life, the glow diminishes gradually but the sights remain fully functional as standard iron sights during daylight or with ambient light.
Do I need a gunsmith to install these sights?
Most experienced shooters can install the AmeriGlo Protector at home using a quality Glock sight pusher tool or a bench vise with nylon jaws. Glock rear sights slide in via a dovetail cut and require moderate force to seat properly, while the front sight is secured with a proprietary Glock front sight tool. If you're not comfortable working on your firearm, a qualified gunsmith can typically install a sight set quickly and affordably.
