Can anyone tell me if glock sights are specific to the glock model? For instance, can sights for a Glock 17 fit a Glock 21? Is the dovetail size different? Thank you.

Should all be the same, I have never seen sights for a specific model.
Oh ok, I looked at Trijicon's website for HD nights and I saw they listed out every model. Then on Brownell's, or some other place online, I saw it listed for just the Glock 17 so I was curious.
The fitting of the sights to the slides is the same, however the height of the rear sight varies (6.1, 6.5, 6.9 and 7.3 mm).
A stock G17 rear sight is 6.5mm. A stock G21 is 6.9mm. (It is conceivable to see pistols come from the factory with different heights from stock as a result of tweaking after test firing.)
Here's a picture showing the markings on the rear sights which indicate the heights:

Thank you, that is very helpful. Definitely something that I was overlooking with the slight difference in rear sight heights. I am guessing this is also probably true for night sights. I can call Trijicon and find out for sure.
Huh, I know they came in different heights, but I had no idea about those markings. Cool.Quote:

unless you have a reason to do not change the height from the factory height.
That's handy! I have a couple Glocks & I didn't know that.Quote:
