Just got my new Wilson-Beretta 92G Centurion, running it through some reliability testing today, I noticed the orange ring around the Tritium vial had decided to leave the sight. Couldn’t find it anywhere, not even residue left behind.

Has anyone else had an issue with these. On some of my other carry guns I’ve installed the Trijicon HD’s and haven’t had an issue.

Is the ring replaceable or does the sight need to go back to Ameriglo?

I shot them an email, but I figured I would throw myself on the knowledge of our great forum, someone will have delt with this.

Thanks,

That kinda sucks . I really like the Hackathorn front sight on my Cen Tac. Really stands out. Have you notified WC?
May want to shoot them an email. Hopefully either Ameriglo or Wilson Combat takes care of it quickly.

I noticed in your other post that you had a couple of light primer strikes. I had some also with WWB. Never experienced this with my Brig Tac. I usually don't shoot WWB though. Will be interesting to see how this issue shakes out.

Good luck to you and I hope it gets squared away quickly.

Thanks Springfield,

I may put the heavier spring back in if this thing doesn’t run 100%, there was an extra in the case, don’t know if that one was the original or not.

Even for a range/class gun I want 100% reliability on ignition.

I’ll email Bill also.

I've had two lose the paint and Ameriglo was very good about replacing them.

Mine were originally bought from Ameriglo by me, so I went directly to them and had the invoice number from the purchase.

Since yours came through Beretta, you may have to go through Beretta to get it taken care of.

Just a guess though.

Bummer, I use to recommend Ameriglo with confidence. But lately whatever they are doing isn't up to par. This has been a reoccurring instance I've seen and heard over the past 8 months. Hopefully they get their act together.

Thanks guys, sad to see it’s a common issue.

Call Beretta....they'll take care of it

Will do, thanks.

Well this sucks. I just bought a Gen 5 Glock 17 and I must say that the Ameriglo sights helped push me into it.

That's too bad. I'm sure they'll fix it for you. I have several sets of Ameriglo Hackathorn sights and have had no issues.

I have 4 sets going strong.

Mine both failed within the first ten rounds. The replacement sights are going strong.

They either die right away or they work fine.

So they replaced the entire sight? Was yours a Tritium failure or the same as mine, the fluorescent ring came loose?

Invested in Ameriglo sights on a handful of Glock's nad had an issue with a rear sight that slid all the way through the dovetail with no resistance. Ameriglo wouldnt send me a replacemnet and told me I had to buy a new one. My only departure from trijicon in the last 10 years and back to them jsut as quicly. All over a 35.00 rear sight.

Same as yours, just the paint ring came off and a new sight was sent to me.

I had the same issue on the front sight of an early set of Ameriglo Idot Pro sights about 5 years ago.

However, I've since had several other sets of similar Ameriglo sights that have not had that issue.

In fact, my favorite handgun sights are Ameriglo UC sights, which have a similar hi-viz ring around the front sight. No problems with any of those. I have them on nearly all my 9mm Glocks, and the remainder will get them as their current night sights wear out. (For some reason, they're only offered for 9/40/357 Glocks, and not available for 45/10mm Glocks or other brands.)

So far so good on my 26! 600 rds on the new sights!

Got an email from CS at Ameriglo, new front sight on the way.
