Vickers Elite Battlesights

[wake5150]

Looking at replacing the stock sights on a G19. Anyone have experience with them? Sight picture; poa/poi, six o'clock? Any feedback is appreciated

Usually dependent on your individual pistol, bullet weight and distance.

Anything labeled "Battle" will not be a 6 o'clock hold, as that is usually for bullseye guns, as not to obscure target with front sight.

I have a set of Battlesights with a gold bead front on my Wilson. A gold bead or fiber optic would be nice for a front sight.

Thanks for the info.

I had them on a 1911. They were nice, but sat tall. The ones for the Glock might require a .245 "front sight. This could possibly pose an issue for CCW, but maybe not.

For the Glocks, I prefer Vogel sights: https://www.amazon.com/Vogel-Dynamic.../dp/B01BLV1QQI

Also consider Dawson Precision or 10-8 Performance. Cannot go wrong with any of them. (The nice thing about Dawson is that they offer a nice thin front sight, .105" for Glocks, and their standard fiber optic rods are .040". The fiber optic rods on the 10-8 and Wilson are .060".)

I'm sure you meant .040 and .060

Yes. I corrected the post. Thanks.

The difference between the Wilson/Vickers front sight height and the stock one is 2mm's. I don't think an extra 2mm's is gonna be any more snag prone.

Maybe not. I wanted to make the OP aware of the potential issue. The Vickers sights sit taller than many of the other out there.

Thanks for the knowledge drop. I checked out Dawson precision. That'll fit my needs. Run and gun, opted for the charger model

I have these sights on a 30SF, which uses the .245 front sight as Librarian mentions. I see you are in Manteca. I may be at Tracy Rifle and Pistol on 12/10. If you are interested, I can PM you to confirm and work out the details.

I have two Glocks and a Wilson CQB with these sights. I really like them, of the three two fronts are tritium and one is FO. They are a little taller then most sights but not significantly, I like the U-notch rear and the thinner front blade. They are not six o'clock, they are POA/POI dead center of your target hold.

i have vickers sights on my glock 19 and 21 with tritium front and plain rear. i like the sight picture and they are poa/poi on both my glocks. the rear U notch is wide enough to easily pick up the front sight but not too wide to negatively effect accuracy.

I have the Dawson on one of my 17's, good choice if You go that route

Good looking out. I went with Dawson precision

Thanks for this, exactly what I wanted to know.

I have two Glock 35's, a gen three with Dawson's and a gen four with the Vickers. Both are very good sights, the Vickers a little better for faster combat type shooting and the Dawson's for more target accuracy type shooting. But both hold their own anyway you use them, no wrong choice.
