Glock Sight Alignment Illustration

[tal3nt]

I often have a difficult time explaining in words to new shooters how to properly aim a handgun (mine happens to be a glock). So I sketched this up real quick and took a picture to keep in my phone for whenever I need a little extra help explaining it to someone. Also cus' I had some free time and I like to draw Feel free to use it, and please also feel free to add suggestions or point out if I have illustrated something incorrectly. This is how I've been shooting for years and it has always hit the bullseye. The illustration was drawn using my G19 with Defoor Tactical sights on it, but as far as I know POI is the same on all Glocks even though the sight heights may vary from model to model. The Defoors have the exact same height as factory plastic 19 sights, except they're all black, metal, with a serrated and thinner (.115") front. Thanks for lookin'

G19 all factory parts except 3.5 connector, 5 rounds @10 yards. Defoor Tactical sights.

Nice Sketch and Thanks for Sharing! I'm going shooting with some friends that are new to guns, this sketch will help. Downloading to my phone now.

Sweet! Teaching proper trigger pull is probably the most important and hardest part of teaching new shooters, but I couldn't think of a simple way to illustrate that haha. Glad I could help, just make sure you go over all the safety rules with your friends first!!

Forgot to mention:

Don't pay attention to the white dot or notch if you're running sights that have them (like the factory sights). Use the actual outline/frame of the sight itself. These suggestions are for precision shooting; dots and notches work well when having to acquire closer targets more quickly, and when precision is less important.

Nice. I print this one out for people, I like how it illistrates that the rear site and target are out of focus.

Thanks G-force, I'll have to keep one of those in the range bag

thank you. i will have to try this next time. my hits are usually right behind the white dot on the front sight. not the top of the front sight like your drawing. than again i need to make sure the top of front and rear sight are lined up next time im at range

I use Ameriglo night sights with a black rear sight because I hate the hockey goal rear sight. I've actually found I have better result at all distances if the rear is completely black and have gone so far as to sharpie the stock sights until I can replace them.
