    stuck on which sight dimensions to go with on glock 26

    man i dont know what to do i have a glock 26 that i want to change the sights out

    it has stock factory glock sights (not night sights) and from what i gathered its a pretty narrow sight 160 up front and 140 up rear,


    im stuck between this 10-8 performance set up

    .125 width FRONT
    .140 Rear


    OR

    .115 front
    .156 rear


    remember the g26 is a sub compact so the sight radius isnt big, i like narrow tight sight pictures just want to know if .125/.140 would be too tight? i had this posted in handgun section but didnt know there was a sight section

    on the last few of my glocks where i have upgraded the sights, i find that the rear sight width is dependant on your chosen type and size of front sight. for example, plain black or fiber optic are generally avaliable in narrower widths than tritium sights are.
    i like plain rears with lots of daylight around the sides of the front sight. i find it to be a simple, fast sight picture. on my idpa gun, i use a fiber optic front whereas my defense weapon uses a night sight. they are are different widths and i pair them with appropriately sized rear sights.

      Gant - have you found out which dimensions you went with on your g26? I'm looking to get a set myself.

        As short as the sight radius is, and the distances that the 26 is likely to be used at in a defensive situation, will the width make that much of a difference? Just asking. I sent my 26 slide in to Glock to have night sights installed, and got standard green Trijicons. I had the choice of Trijiicons or Meprolights, but i never considered the width issue for a 26.
