Block 42 sight options
Just bought a g42. I'll mostly be pocket carrying it, occasionally OWB carry. Not a fan of IWB.
I'm not a factory Glock sight hater, I don't mind the white outline, but I do want night sights for it. I've got a G26 with Heinie straight 8 sights that I really like but I want something smaller. It looks like Heinie read sights are too wide. Pretty much all of the aftermarket fear sights I've seen look too wide for the 42 slide.
I'm thinking about getting just a tritium front sight and keeping the glock factory rear sight. Anyone do this? Any suggestions for a nice tidy small tritium sight set for the 42?The Hostler

Almost all my Glocks have 3 dot Glock brand night sights, my 43 included. A LGS was doing a special for factory NS installed a couple years ago and I went all in on it.

Thanks guys. I just bought a set of Ameriglo CAP sights. Very similar to the Heinie straight 8 I like on my 26.

Re: Block 42 sight options
How do you mean they only lasted a week? Was there a problem with the sights of was it you just had enough of them in a week?
I've got straight 8 sights on my other glock ,similar to the CAP sight, and I like how fast it is to pickup and align the two dots verses lining up three dots, especially with my bifocal prescription glasses off. My only gripe with the straight 8 sights is they could be brighter.The Hostler

Re: Block 42 sight options
They are made well I just didn’t like them. I kept burying the front sight and all my hits were way to low. Instead of retraining myself for one pistol I went to what I know and feel confident with out to 30 yards.
Remember Glock 42/43 sights are significantly smaller then standard Glock sights do for me the 3 dot fiber optic/tritium combo with the big white or orange circle the TFX or TFX pros offer makes a difference, at least for me.

Re: Block 42 sight options
Don't forget you can send your slide to Glock for them to install night sights for about the cost of the sights themselves from a retailer. If you strip your slide, they will put new parts in for free, so you get about $60 worth of parts too.
