WILLIAMS GLOCK 42/ 43 SIGHTS
WILLIAMS GLOCK 42/ 43 SIGHTS
One of the most disappointing items to encounter when shopping for a new defensive handgun is to find a
great deal on the pistol you want, but realize, it comes with less than stellar factory iron sights, but that can
be remedied swiftly and easily thanks to Williams Gun Sight Company .
For those who follow my firearm reviews, its no secret,
I really like the Glock series of pistols. Unfortunately,
I really hate the cheap, plastic factory sights with
the ostentatious “U” shaped outlined rear sight and
golf ball sized white dot front sight. I find it a very
distracting to my focus when shooting as it tends to
make one giant bright white blur when addressing
the target quickly.
Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase a new
Glock model 43 9mm pistol with a factory installed Crimson Trace
laser unit. With the pistol originally being a writer’s sample sent
for review and the price was hard to say “NO” to once I wrapped
on the article. Unfortunately, despite the great price and features,
it did however arrive with the factory white plastic sights. I
quickly researched my options since the model 42 / 43 were still
relatively new and on a different size platform than other model
Glocks. My good friend and colleague, David Link told me about
a business making top notch fiber optic sights called the Williams
Gun Sight Company. After reading up on the company, I discovered
Williams made reliable, defensive and target model front and rear
pistol, rifle and shotgun sights made from solid aluminum and
fiber optics. I immediately ordered a set of defensive sights with
red and green fiber optics to fit the Glock model 42 / 43.
