"Tall" Sights for Pistols With Suppressors?

[Charlie]

Not sure if this is in the correct forum but it does have to do with pistol suppressor sights. I’m trying to determine the height of the front sight (with appropriate rear sight) on a Glock 23 to be able to sight over a suppressor of 1 5/8 in. diameter. I’ve done some measuring and calculating and have come up with a figure of .406 in. that would be the same height at the top of a mounted suppressor (meaning the front sight would have to be higher!). Does that sound correct? It seems awfully high. I know folks install “tall” sights on their pistols but in looking at specs. from sight manufacturers I’m unable to find any that would seem to work. I would appreciate any information regarding which manufacturer makes sights for pistols using suppressors or just any information regarding this issue. Thanks ahead of time.

I run a 19 with a multimount and Ameriglo Suppressor Sights. The sights come as a kit (front and back) and sell for about $70. The steel is made by Ameriglo and the tritium is installed by Trijicon.

Thanks, I'll check them out. What suppressor are you using with those sights?
