Installation Instructions:
- Remove the magazine and make sure your pistol is unloaded.
- Remove and Field strip slide assembly and secure the slide in a padded vise.
- Remove existing rear sight with hammer and punch.
- Clean rear sight dovetail and press in new rear sight from right to left. If rear sight will not start into approximately 50% of the dovetail you may need to remove very small amounts of material from the bottom and sides of the dovetail portion of the rear sight-usually just a few light passes will do. A safe sided dovetail file, small diamond hone or sanding stick are good tools for this. Go slowly and check your fit.
- Once you are able to get 50% of the sight base into the dovetail attempt to tap the sight in place with a hammer and non marring punch/dowel (wood, polymer, aluminum) or appropriate sight pusher. If using a steel or brass punch protect the sight/punch with several layers of duct tape.
- Fine adjust your windage with a rear sight armorers tool or non marring punch.
- After you fine adjust rear sight windage install dual locking screws with a threadlocking compound like Loctite on the threads.
- Note-if the rear sight is loose in the dovetail your dovetail is cut oversize and the new rear sight may require peening on the edges of the dovetail for a proper fit.
NOTE: Wilson Combat small parts may require minor fitting and should only be installed by a qualified gunsmith. Although these parts are intended to be drop-in, due to the range of tolerances between various manufacturers' handguns, some fitting may occasionally be necessary. We highly recommend all fitting/installation of small parts is done by a professional gunsmith.

Perfect Sights For The Discerning Experienced Shooter.
I just finished purchasing my third set of the Vickers sights and I obviously really dig them. This is also the first time I write a review for a product. The Vickers sights are identical to the Battlesight on my Supergrade , which in my opinion are the best sights I have ever used bar none. For the glock sights, and due to experience shooting in low to no light conditions for the past four years, I prefer the Vickers rear w/ tritium paired with the Vickers tritium front.

Vickers Battle Sight With Tritium
I bought these for my Glock 19x to replace the factory night sights. I felt that the factory sights were too blocky and hard to get a full view of the target for precision shot placement. I love the one dot rear sight and it was easy to adapt to the change. Very bright and easy to pickup. I also am a strong believer in the U notch design after about 1200 rounds. I wish they were available with a “ carry melt” as the sharp machined corners on the sight notch don’t feel so good dragging on the skin from concealment.

Vickers Sights
Very nice. Being an old dude, I went with the gold bead front sight and personally find it to maybe be the best all around set up for varying light conditions. It is more visible than anything else I have tried whether paint, tritium, or fiber optic in semi-dark, but still usable on the range with the sun shining brightly on your back. I think the width of the front sight in relation to the width of the rear sight notch is just about right, too.

Another Top Notch Product From Wilson & Vickers
Originally bought same sight w/o tritium. I wanted tritium, but old eyes didnt see it. The email w/the rear with tritium got my attention. Bought two, but will add a third if it helps my daughter w/the G42 I recently purchased for her. Great sights. Well-made, like all Vickers stuff. And, sold by Wilson-that should help remove any doubt you might have as to how good it is. These guys only have the best.
