Taurus GX4 Takes Glock Sights!

Рет қаралды 45,267

Күн бұрын

The new Taurus GX4 offers a similar feel to the Sig P365 and the Springfield Armory Hellcat, but offers one feature that those models do not. it takes aftermarket Glock sights! Glocks are notorious for having awful factory sights so most gun shops in America carry some sort of replacement Glock sights to upgrade. this makes upgrades for the the GX4 really easy and readily available. I recommend the TRUGLO tritium pro sights and the Real Avid master sight pusher for this upgrade.

I put Glock Tritium sights on my GX4...front was easy, rear was super tight, and not easy at all, even with my sight tool. I would have been happy with just the front sight. Lesson learned.

@jaydee5156 Жыл бұрын

I like the Allen head screw on the Taurus front sight. It's a much less awkward system to me. One big difference between Glocks and the GX4 is that the GX4 has a chassis system. What that means is if you want to buy a replacement grip for whatever reason on your Glock, it cost a few hundred dollars and will have to go through an FFL. As with the Sig P320 and P365, you can simply remove the chassis on the GX4 and replace the plastic grip. This is the second video I've seen with the Real Avid pusher. I think I need one.

@@AdventureOne I think I should be fine with my stock sites. I painted the white dot that was on the front sight neon yellow with liquid craft acrylic paint which worked very well on my Phoenix Arms hp22a, and I did but put a touch of neon orange nail polish on the tops of the left and right side of my rear sight, and I found the sweet spot is to have the yellow dot just a hair above the top of the rear sights and it is dead on. So if I can't find any OEM upgrades or aftermarket sights, I think I'll be alright.

You can totally do this with a punch - many do, but you will void the warranty on the sights and have a good chance of breaking the tritium vial. There are lots of videos showing that method, but this is the way that sight manufacturers actually recommend. Go in with a few buddies on sharing this tool and it is worth it in the long run.
