Sight picture for Glock?

[Min]

The sight picture for Glocks is different than other pistols because of the grip angle...

So, the proper sight picture for Glocks is...top of front blade aligned with top of rear, and top of front blade is UNDER target or is it CENTER of target?

For Berettas and USP pistols, the front sight has to completely cover the target.

Most shoot just on top of the front sight. I don't think it has anything to do with grip angle. It's just that European 'cover the target with the sights' mentality instead of the American 'see the target on top of the front sight' idea that Glock understands. With Glocks, the top of the front and the top of the rear line up with the center of the bull.
Get Heinies.

I don't really know much other than blunt: Stock sights on Glocks SUCK!! I really like the Meprolight night sights, trijicons are good as are the Heinie sights. Throw the plastic excuses for sights on stock Glocks in the trash and complete one of the finest fighting handguns man has ever seen with a decent set of STEEL sights.

On every fixed sight pistol I have ever shot (except for one), the bullet impacts over the top of the front sight.

That includes:

USP 9mm
A couple of Beretta 92FS
Beretta 86
Colt Mustang
Various Glocks in various calibers
Various Ruger P Series pistols in various calibers
EAA Witness .45
Walther PPK
Swedish Lahti
A couple of CZ-52s
A couple of Makarovs
Some others I'm forgetting.

The sole exception was a Beretta 92G Elite II. At 15 yards, the gun shot several inches low and several inches off to one side from the factory. Novak (who made the sights for the EIIs) was in the process of making a higher rear sight to fix the problem of shooting low when I called them.

Grip angle has nothing to do with sights.
