Truglo sights question

[shooker8]

I just put some Truglo sights on my glock (store installed) they are very bright and I like them. The only problem I have now is they are making my gun shoot low (about 2-3 inches). I thought it was me, but when I switched to my XDM in 9mm it shot a very tight group. I am shooting at approximately 10 yards.

Did not have that problem at all. Using the same on a 26.

You have the wrong rear sight. Glocks have a -1, 0, and +1 height. If you bought the sights at the installing store, take it back.

Which would the glock 17 be? I have the TG-H3 on the rear of my glock.

I just looked at the Truglo website and the Glock sights end with a G, not an H (H&K). Here's the website I looked at:

And I wasn't totally correct with the sight heights, there's also a +2.

Which would the glock 17 be?

That would be 6.5 mm (assuming your 17 isn't a long-slide). Glock marks that sight with a long bar.

The other standard Glock heights are 6.1 mm, which is a short bar under a long bar, 6.9 mm, which is a short bar over a long bar, and 7.3 mm, which is two short bars over a long bar.

I was wondering about the truglo item number on the sights. I understand that glocks vary, but still it says that the truglo sights fits
Glock 17 / 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 39.

Per the Armorer's manual, the 6.5 mm rear sight comes standard on the 17, 17C, 19, 19C, 22, 22C, 23, 23C, 24, 24C, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39.

The table states the 17L comes standard with the 6.1mm height rear sight, and in fact is the only model that has that sight as standard.

However the table also notes that the rear sight height may vary due to factory test-firing.

(Front sight heights are the same across all models.)

Thanks! I didn't see that. If you have tight groups do you guys think it matters if you are shooting 2 inches low?

If it's your carry piece, YES. I have a Ruger P95 I won't carry because it shoots low. If you have to use it, you don't want to have to remember to aim 'how much higher?'. But if it's a 'fun' gun ... that's your choice.
