SIGHT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please see the video below for an instructional video for installing AMERIGLO iron sights with the AMERIGLO sight pusher tool. Professional Installation is recommended.

The AMERIGLO® GLOCK Sight Installation Kit allows easy installation of AMERIGLO® sights on GLOCK pistols. Before AMERIGLO® sights can be installed, the slide must be disassembled from the firearm. Please follow the instructions in the GLOCK owner’s manual for slide removal.

REAR SIGHT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The old sight should be removed using the sight pusher tool enclosed. Turn the handle on the sight pusher tool until the block is centered. Loosen the slide clamp shoe using the knurled knob on the bottom of the tool. Insert the slide onto the clamp shoe using the slide guides from the side marked AMERIGLO®. If the rear sight does not line up with the removal block, adjust with the handle as required. Once the slide is positioned, clamp it in place using the knob. Then turn the handle in a clockwise direction to remove the rear sight.
Remove the slide from the pusher tool by loosening the clamp.
Start the new rear sight by hand inserting it from the right side when looking from the shooter’s position. Push it in by hand before using the sight pusher tool so that it remains square with the slide. Make sure that it is sitting flat in the slide..
Re-insert the slide into the sight pusher tool. Slight adjustment may be necessary to fit the sight back into the sight pusher block. After the sight is in the middle of the pusher block, clamp the slide down in the tool. Turn the handle counterclockwise to move the sight to the center of the slide.
After the sight is correctly positioned, back off the sight pusher block slightly so that it is disengaged from the sight. Then loosen the clamp shoe and remove the slide from the tool.

* If installing slimline sights, the spacers and slide clamp shoe will need to be swapped. Once complete, follow steps 1-5 for installation.

* If installing sights with a straight–sided base the Straight-Sided Block is recommended and will require a ¼ in. hex key. Once complete, follow steps 1-5 for installation.

FRONT SIGHT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Remove the old front sight.
Remove the screw from the AMERIGLO® front blade and check to make sure the oval base on the sight fits the oval slot in the GLOCK® slide. Slight pressure may be required to push the sight down into the slot. Make sure that the sight is fully seated and that it is aligned with the slide. Also make sure that the base of the sight does not protrude below the slide.
Once the front sight is in place, it should be held square. Place the screw in AMERIGLO® driver and place a very small drop of Loctite on the end threads of the screw. The amount of Loctite should not be more than will fill the threads. It is important that no excess Loctite remain on the end of the screw. Carefully start the screw from below the slide. Make sure that the front blade is held firmly as final tightening is done and that the screw remains seated squarely in the head. This is the time that it is most likely to rotate off center. The screw should be tightened snugly (wrist-tight, 10 in-lbs) against the bottom of the slide.
