697566711145 BIS, G43X/48 (Backup Iron Sight, G43X/G48) is a collaboration between Ameriglo and FCD. Specifically made for Glock G43X and G48, these sights are based on the superb Ameriglo GL-527 with a front sight height of 0.450", and a rear sight height of 0.554", this sight sets provide lower 1/3 co-witness with the Trijicon RMRcc when used with our OPF-G43X/43, RMRcc on G43X and G48. BIS, G43X/48 consists of the following: Front sight, available with either green Tritium and white outline (no serrations), or serrated front sight, no tritium or white outline. Rear sight, serrated. BIS, G43X/48 is slightly different from GL-527 on which it's based. These FCD particular changes are: Tritium option for the front sight. Front sight back strap angle is steeper (25 degrees on the serrated, non-tritium front sight, 20 degrees on non-serrated, tritium front sight) to mitigate snagging when the pistol is drawn from and out of the holster where it's likely to encounter clothing, and the front sight's top corners are softened. Rear sight is horizontally serrated. Designed and made in the USA. Special thanks to the professionals at Ameriglo https://ameriglo.com/ that made this project possible, Forward Controls Design are grateful for their willingness to work with a small outfit for shared customers / users. G43X/49 with RMRcc is approved by many agencies, most of which require red dot pistols be equipped with metallic, co-witnessing backup sights for both on and off duty use. BIS, G43X/48 was created with them in mind. NOTE: if you don't have a sight pusher or the equipment to install rear sights, please bring it to a qualified and competent gunsmith to perform the installation. It's not uncommon to have to fit the rear sight to the dovetail, a competent gunsmith should be well familiar with the reason and method. Forward Controls Design have seen more than enough expensive muzzle devices ruined by "gunsmiths" that used a screw driver to install them instead of a torque wrench, and hand tightened optics plate screws when a torque value is clearly noted in multiple places. Rather than being loose (easy to install), Forward Controls Design prefer the sights be tight, so it won't be knocked off zero easily. Tolerances of the dovetail and sights also come into play, which results in some being easier, while others are harder to install. A qualified gunsmith can deal with these easily.

Description:

Enhance your Glock G43X/G48 with precision backup iron sights!

The BIS, G43X/48 (Backup Iron Sight, G43X/G48) is a remarkable collaboration between Ameriglo and Forward Controls Design, specifically tailored for the Glock G43X and G48 models. These sights are designed to provide an exceptional shooting experience with a front sight height of 0.450" and a rear sight height of 0.554". The sight sets offer a lower 1/3 co-witness with the Trijicon RMRcc when paired with the OPF-G43X/43, making them an ideal choice for both on-duty and off-duty use.

Key Features:

Front Sight: Available in two options - green Tritium with a white outline (no serrations) or a serrated front sight without Tritium or white outline.
Rear Sight: Serrated for improved visibility.
Design Differences: The BIS, G43X/48 features a steeper front sight back strap angle (25 degrees for serrated non-tritium, 20 degrees for non-serrated tritium) to reduce snagging during draw, with softened top corners.
Manufacturing: Proudly designed and made in the USA.

Forward Controls Design appreciates the collaboration with Ameriglo, which has made this project possible. The G43X/49 with RMRcc is widely approved by various agencies, which often mandate that red dot pistols be equipped with metallic, co-witnessing backup sights.

Installation Note: If you lack a sight pusher or the necessary equipment to install rear sights, it is recommended to consult a qualified and competent gunsmith for installation. It is common for rear sights to require fitting to the dovetail, and an experienced gunsmith will understand the process. Forward Controls Design has encountered numerous issues with improperly installed muzzle devices, emphasizing the importance of professional installation.

For optimal performance, Forward Controls Design prefers sights to be tightly fitted to avoid being knocked off zero easily. The tolerances of the dovetail and sights can vary, making some installations easier than others, but a qualified gunsmith can handle these variations with ease.
