    Default Want target sights for Glock 17

    Hey all,

    Just picked up a Glock 17, 3rd Gen. I purchased it as a cheap target pistol. I want to put a quality sight on it for target shooting. Most of everything I see for the Glock is a night sight or something similar - which I don't need. Does anyone have any advice what to get for my G17 for target shooting?

    Also any other mods for target shooting would be appreciated as well.

    Thanks.

    Try a nice set of ameriglo fiber optic green rear, red front -easy to pick up the sight picture quickly and easy on anyone's eyes about $70.00 plus shipping. You can by them online at the Glock sore and other places. If you need somebody to install them drive up to Easton and stop by my shop its only a ten minute job.

    I put some Tru-Glo sights on my 3rd gen Glock 17 last month from Opticsplanet for 52 bux delivered. Definite improvement over the stock sights.

    I agree with this. Ameriglo makes nice sights.

    I have a set of Warren Tactical on both my Glocks (17 and 19). Plain black rear and fiber optic front (Green or Red)

    For daytime target shooting you should be fine with the stock Glock sights. Shoot the gun a while before you change them. You may be surprised at how well they work. Another mod you may be interested would be the lighter trigger connectors. They are cheap and easy to install. Have fun with your new 17.

    I attest to this, I quite literally couldn't even hit the target at 50 feet my first time out but the sights are spot on...I wasn't.

    I have a Glock 19 and feel like I shoot better than the sights allow me to. I have to say that I don't think the stock sights are that great at 15+ yards. My sights on my 1911 are way better in my opinion. I actually bought the 17 specifically to use for target shooting, not to carry or anything (that's what the 19 is for).

    I will look into the lighter trigger connector, I have been planning on getting a lighter trigger.
