Glock sight replacement

[Handsome Rob]

I'm looking at replacing the factory sights on my 29 (apparently, something I should've done the minute I bought it....) 

Can anyone recommend a good, low cost sight set? I'm thinking I'd like fiber optics, but I'm more interested in rugged & easy to use than anything. Tritium is not needed.

I also don't want to double the value on 2 tiny lumps of steel......

If night sights will work you can get the Glock steel factory night sights for $57.00 from Glock. I have switched from tru Glock to these largely due to cost. Easy to install and work great.

I drive to Glock to have them look at my guns every once in a while. They install sights while you wait and they'll update the gun no charge. They do charge for the sights, though. 15 year warranty and it's all function tested (and test fired). As mentioned above - $57. They do charge tax at the factory.

Ooooh.... Where's Glock located? That might be a simpler option, rather than having to buy tools.

Smyrna, not TN, but GA.

Glock is located in Atlanta. I have found the techs that come out to get the guns are helpful and willing to answer any questions you have. Worth the trip if for no other reason than to see the mother ship.

I reckon that's my next day off figured out.
Thanks for the heads up!

You can just mail them the slide. They have factory steel replacements and night sight available. Rumor has it if you ship a stripped slide it'll come back with new internals.

Anything they receive will not be returned unless it is stripped and checked. If anything shows wear, it is replaced.

Be sure to take your mags with you as well. Everything will be gone over.

I have Ameriglo night sights on mine. It really isn't hard to swap them out. Oddly enough the Craftsman driver handle for bits fits perfectly, wished I had known that before turning down a perfectly good socket on the lathe. The rear sight just drifts off.

I use Dawson sights for my competition guns. Their sight sets come with "tools".....nylon or soft metal punch basically. I've used the devil out of the nylon tipped one. I can have a rear sight changed by the time you get the pushers set up for the 1st one lol.

All good recommendations, that's the FIRST thing I do with any of my Glocks, next trigger work (connector and springs). I also use stainless pins to replace the factory ones
