has the size of the front sight got in the way of using any of your holsters?

Yes. A king tuk holster, the sight would catch or rub up the front. I heated it and molded it to fit. I have a two piece injection molded holster that it does not affect. Just depends on the holster.

have not installed sights yet..thought I could do it myself with my Glock sight tool but can not...need to take it to a gun smith..

It's not much bigger then a standard sight. I've never had a problem with that at all. Buy it

I use a soft deep concealed holster and have never had any issues with the front sight catching.
197312
The size isn't that much different than the factory sights. No problems here.
197313
No. I haven't seen any issues with this. By the way, I really like these sights.

Hasn't been an issue on my Galco deep concealment or Blade-Tech holsters. On my Safariland 6378 ALS I've shaved a bit from the base of the slide lock tab during the first hundred presentations, but nothing since and no impact on holster or sight function. Just buy the sights :-)

It scrapes the kidex on all of my holsters, but so do the stock sights. Not sure if the scraping is any worse with the big dot. The gun always fits though

No. You do not have enough run out on the front sight, front & rear have to be very close to level,at differnt ranges this hight will realy come to bare.

I have a loose fitting IWB holster so I don't notice it. If I shoot a lot say at the range it wears the top of my back knuckle that sits under the site. (not a big problem)Over-all, I love the laser and have it on two firearms.

Don't even attempt if you don't have a sight pusher. Rear wasn't bad but front was a pain. I have the cheap $60 sight pusher from glockstore, and it was still difficult. I didn't file fit mine because the front is press fit. Pusher dented the front a little. Accuracy depends on how centered they are, and the shooter skill. Up to you. I prefer to do it myself because I'm way too anal. I centered mine with Starret digital dial calipers. Lol

I bought the right hand version. I plan on purchasing the left as well. I carry a full size Taurus PT1911 and it's pretty heavy, so I tend to carry it in the small of my back. I prefer the handle to be facing to the right then as it's more comfortable for me. It's a good holster, and I've used it quite a bit.

I have Glock night sights on my G22, if the front sight you are using is much higher you may have a problem. My front sight just touches the front inside edge of the holster.

Hi there,I have the Big Dots on my M&P; Shield and carry in a Bravo Concealment ACER-DG2 IWB Kydex holster. The sights are awesome. They are absolutely perfect for defensive sights. You can really pick up that front sight in no time. No issues with the sights fitting into the holster. They certainly do not protrude like supressor sights do. I wouldn't worry about them not fitting into a standard holster. The dot is big, but the actual front sight overall is a pretty standard size.

Should just let it stick out if the bottom a little bit, I have a 2" LCR 38 and it has about 1/4" of holster room to spare till the opening in the bottom. Great holster though, if it ends up not working just send it back.

I took off the front sight on my G26 quite easily. As far as I know, all front sight screws are all the same. My G26 is 4G fwiw.

The front sight is a little taller. However, I have an inexpensive holster and it still fits. I think you could use your Glock with the Meprolight Sight for either home defense or carry. Make sure you have or know someone that has a Glock vise to install the sight.

The short answer is - yes, it fits. The front sight post does not have a lot of clearance, and I've notice just a little wear on the finish of the front sight from it hitting every so slightly on the holster. That said, I've never noticed it snag or otherwise cause any issues taking the weapon out or re-holstering. The one key point to make note of is that the slide will stick out of the bottom of this model about 1/3". If you want or need the slide / barrel fully covered, this may be an issue for you.

I had to send mine back. The front sight blade was not tall enough at its highest adjustment to zero teh sights.

I have not had this problem with my holster. It's a little snug initially when the holster is brand new, but it loosens up fairly quickly and I have not had any issues.

I keep a ruger LCP in there and it's pretty tight without much wiggle room. Even a slim frame 9mm might be too big. The picture here is deceiving the holster only fits the LCP up to the trigger guard.

I have the Magpul front sight on mine, is it the same height as magpuls? also, if if you mean clear the front sight with a scope, not co-witness, I would say no, it does co witness perfectly though.

My friends Glock 21 gen 4 .45 mags did not fit and as usual it wasn't the length it was the width lol.

I have the standard non-tactical FNX 45 and there is no extra room around the front sight so I would say the tactical version would probably not fit.
