Best adjustable rear sight - Glock

[giantsfan]

I'm considering getting new adjustable rear sights on my Glock carry weapons and wanted to find out what those who have adjustable rear sights are using.

Thanks!

Dawson Precision.

Is that their Perfect Impact sight? I've read a lot about them..

I agree! The Dawson Precision is a very good quality rear adjustable sight. Just like using Bomar!

THis one. Also, the sight sits at the very rear of the slide, so it makes use of the whole sight for making a longer sight plane.

Match the base to the front, as suggested.

Or else, you'll run out of clicks.

Out of curiosity, why do you want adjustable sights for carry guns?

I've never cared for fixed sights and I like to zero my weapons. I feel it's a more responsible practice than to depend on the factory to ensure the weapon is accurate.

If I need to use my weapon for self defensive purposes I want to know that I've done all I can to make it as accurate as it can be. The rest is practice, practice and more practice.

I have a Dawson Precision Adjustable Rear on my G20LS, and I did a ton of research before I bought it. The DP is the hands down favorite for Glocks.

The problem with adjustable sights, is that springs and screws break. It doesn't happen very often, but it's a problem I'd rather not have to worry about with a carry gun.

Get a fixed rear sight that you like (I prefer the plain black Sevigny Carry), and a Dawson Precision front sight. Start with Warren Tactical's front height recommendation. Once they're installed, go shoot some groups at 25yds with your carry ammo. If its not where you want it, use Dawson's calculator to get the correct height front. I've done it with several Glocks, and it's always worked the first time. Dawson Precision will keep exchanging the front sight until you get where you want to be, but you have to use a DP front.

Here is DP's front sight exchange policy (effective 6/12):

In a combat situation adjustable sights will mean nothing. Most gunfights are going to be happening in the 3-5 yard range and you'll be relying on muscle memory, point shooting, and front sight picture to place rounds on target. As Drab_81 pointed out springs and screws can fall out and fail. I'd go with a solid pair of either Trijicon, Meprolight, Ameriglo, XS, or Heinie combat/night sights.

Either way you go; practice, practice, practice and be safe out there.

Good to know. I guess I was lucky enough to buy my Sevigny/DP combos before June. Thanks for the info.
