My G34 is my bedroom pistol. It's also a gun range toy, but I don't do any competition with it.

what sights are LEO or others using on their glocks, especially the long slides?

I am using these for my duty g34 gen 5.

I use the Trijicon HD's on all my Glocks. On the G34 I have the XR sight, which is a bit thinner front post.

This is my go-to as well. Love the thin front sight.

I have Ameriglo Hackathorn sights on several of my Glocks but recently put their iDot sight on my G30 and like it a lot.

Trijicon GL01

I've used Ameriglo I-Dot Pros but recently tried their "Agent" sights available via Brownells - basically their version of Trijicon HDs.

Most of my glocks have Ameriglo Agent sights. When I get a G34, It'll have all black sights (or Dawsons with a fibre-optic front, reason being that I don't want to see multiple dots if I put an optic on it.

I put a TLR1 light on it and the sights are kind of immaterial. You blind the person and then you have time to line up even the stock sights.

Yep. All day long, twice on Sundays.

My vote is for trijicon hd’s

Ameriglo Hacks with orange front or Trijicon HD XR with orange front. Both impeccable.

By the way, great choice in a home defense pistol.

Sorry to ask a question outside the OP's original, but how do you like the Ameriglo Agents?

A flashlight doesn't trump speed.

What's important are the sights, unless you plan to fight with the light. Getting that front sight on target and pressing the shot out is what's crucial. I wouldn't count on a light buying time to gain proper sight alignment.

A light illuminates the target, clearly marks you and makes you a target, and doesn't reduce the amount of time you have to draw, press, and fire. It does make the pistol a lot bulkier though, and there's more to manipulate, more controls, a real possibility of illuminating yourself or someone else, and of fine motor skills going awry under stress and manipulating the wrong control at the wrong time. Meanwhile, the other shooter who isn't nearly as concerned about defending himself with a flashlight, can spend his very limited lifespan focused on the singular goal of beating you to the first shot.

I have a bunch of Ameriglo (and some Glock night) sights that I've mixed and matched between subcompacts to long slides.
The combo that I found to be perfect for my eyes is a .180" wide rear with a .140" wide front.
(The .125" is too skinny for me on a long slide 34 or 41)

Ameriglo just happens to call that combo Spartan Operator Sets.
(Edit: After some looking, also some of the Cap LE sets & all the I-Dot sets use this sizing)

I use the 45 rear on 9mms because I like the impact to be just above the front sight., not covered by it. The fronts are all the same height regardless of caliber.

Larry Vickers used to do a nice demonstration during his night shooting portion how this blinding with a light thing is a fantasy.



I like Glock Trijicon HDs because if I am having a bad day and missed with all 17 shots, I can still cut them up in pieces with the edge of that rear sight.

I do prefer 2 dot sights over 3 dot, but I do have Trijicon HD XR on one of my main carry/home guns. I recommend either the HD or HD XR and also Ameriglo pro i-Dots. Regular HDs were also good, but the XRs are not too wide, not too narrow, seems about just right for everything.


Either way, I prefer orange front sights over yellow. The yellow seems to get washed out over white backgrounds to my eyes.

I like the Ameriglo better than the trijicons. They are lower in profile to the slide and I like that sight picture better


But really you can’t go wrong with either. It’s 6 of one, half dozen of the other
