Great sights. I was able to co-witness with my red dot. Unless you're getting this professionally installed, I would highly recommend getting a sight pusher along with this; it will save you a lot of time and headache.

I love these sights as they are slightly lower than the Trijicon suppressor sights, giving me a larger field of view. They perform exceptionally well, though it's important to note that there are different heights available, so make sure to choose the appropriate one.

I purchased these sights for my Glock 19 Gen MOS to co-witness my Vortex Venom, but after having them installed by a gunsmith, they are too short. The rear sights are too low and are obscured by the red dot. The front sight is clearly visible and brightly lit, but the zero is just above the sight. I had to dock my rating due to the lack of information on which red dots (e.g. Vortex, Leupold, RMR, Burris) the sights are guaranteed to co-witness with. Despite this, I do like these sights for their bright orange visibility in the Arizona sun and their night sight functionality. They work well with an RMR, but if you have a Vortex or Burris FastFire 3, it may be best to look for another suppressor height sight.

I always replace the Glock factory sights with Ameriglos and have never been dissatisfied. While they may not be the easiest to install, I have successfully done so without being a gunsmith. If you have a workbench, vise, non-marring punch, or better yet, a rear sight tool, you should be able to get it done. I found it helpful to use a caliper to measure and center the rear sight and a front sight tool specifically for the Glock. As for the Amerigo gl-511 itself, the blacked-out rear and bright orange/tritium front seems to speed up sight acquisition. It's not something I've ever timed or measured, but it just feels quicker. These sights are on all my everyday carry guns

These sights are ideal for an RMR setup as they sit higher and accommodate the height difference. I haven't installed my RMR yet as I'm still in the process of building. Installation of these sights was effortless using a $40 sight tool I purchased from eBay. No modifications were required for my G19 slide. I simply applied some oil to the rear sight and blue loctite to the front sights. I am very satisfied with these sights so far, as the orange glow is very bright, and the rear sight has no markings to accommodate my future RMR laser sight. This will eliminate distractions when quickly aiming, especially during holster draws. I suggest using a sight tool for both the front and rear sights or seeking professional installation from a gunsmith to prevent damage.

"Glock 22 paired with Holosun 508T sight. This sight appears in the bottom 1/3 of the sight window. The backup sight serves as a backup in case the 508T fails. The price is reasonable for a sight with Tritium and high-visibility paint. In my opinion, you may consider using a front sight other than red or orange when using it with an RMR type sight that has a red dot. I find that a red front sight combined with a red dot or circle dot can look cluttered and confusing. A white front sight works well with a red dot. Just my thoughts.

I had difficulty finding information on the heights of different suppressor sights, so I decided to try this Ameriglo sight. I didn't want co-witnessing, as that would defeat the purpose of a red dot. These Ameriglo sights fit in my sight window, but sit low. I have used Ameriglo sights on the last 3 or 4 guns I've worked on and see no reason to pay more for another brand. (Installed on Gen 5 G17 MOS/Holosun 507c duty pistol)
