BACKUP IRON SIGHT FOR GLOCK G43X/G48 – GLOCK G43X/G48 BACKUP IRON SIGHT WITH NO TRITIUM

Description

Original price was: $57.00.Current price is: $54.15.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these brass cases and reloading components factory-new or once-fired? +

We stock both premium factory-new components and high-quality once-fired brass. Please check the specific product listing title and description carefully; once-fired brass is fully inspected, but we always recommend resizing and inspecting prior to priming and powder charging.

Will this case trimmer gauge or die set work with my progressive press setup? +

Our standard reloading dies and case length trimmer accessories utilize industry-standard threads (typically 7/8"-14) compatible with major single-stage, turret, and progressive presses like RCBS, Hornady, Lee Precision, and Dillon. Caliber-specific trim gauges must match your exact brass caliber.

Do you enforce shipping restrictions on powder, primers, or live ammunition? +

Yes. Non-hazardous reloading equipment (dies, case length trimmers, gauges, and unprimed brass) ships via standard ground carriers with no extra fees. Any orders containing smokeless powders or primers will incur standard federal HazMat handling fees and cannot be shipped via air transportation.

How can I track my shipment to ensure delivery safety? +

Precision reloading gear is valuable, so all orders are shipped with tracking enabled. As soon as your package is dispatched from our inventory warehouse, a tracking number will be emailed to you. You can monitor your shipment directly on our Track Order page using your unique Order ID.

Can I return precision measuring tools or die components if they don’t fit? +

We accept returns on unused, unaltered tools, case preparation equipment, and unopened component boxes within 30 days of item delivery. Due to safety and strict quality control on the reloading bench, we absolutely cannot accept returns on opened packs of primers, smokeless powder, or processed brass casings.
