Ameriglo Hackathorn Sights for Enhanced Handgun Precision

Upgrade your handgun with the Ameriglo Hackathorn Sight Set, a premier choice for shooters who prioritize speed and precision. These sights are engineered to draw the eye naturally to the front post, which is critical in high pressure defensive situations or competitive shooting matches. At Terran Gear USA, we understand that every second counts when you are establishing a sight picture, and this set is designed to shave precious moments off your target acquisition time.

Advanced Front Sight Visibility

The core of the Hackathorn system is the ProGlo front sight. This component features a green tritium lamp housed within a .140 inch wide blade. The tritium is surrounded by a high visibility orange outline, making it stand out against various backgrounds. Whether you are practicing at a sunlit outdoor range or navigating a low light home defense scenario, the orange ring provides a distinct point of focus during the day while the tritium glows brightly in the dark.

Glare Reducing Rear Sight Design

The rear sight is a masterclass in functional simplicity. It consists of a black serrated blade with a .150 inch wide square notch. By omitting white dots or tritium lamps from the rear, Ameriglo eliminates visual clutter that can distract the eye from the front sight. The horizontal serrations are specifically included to break up light and reduce glare, ensuring that your sight picture remains crisp and clear even when shooting with the sun directly behind you.

Why Choose the Hackathorn Configuration?

Named after legendary firearms instructor Ken Hackathorn, this setup is based on the principle of front sight focus. In a tactical environment, your brain naturally wants to look at the threat. The bright orange ProGlo front sight helps bridge the gap between your target and your sights, allowing for a faster transition and more accurate shot placement. This configuration is a favorite among law enforcement officers and concealed carry enthusiasts who require a rugged, reliable sighting system that performs in all environments.

Specific Use Cases

• Concealed Carry (EDC): The low profile design ensures a snag free draw from your holster, making it ideal for daily carry.
• Tactical Training: The wide rear notch allows for more light around the front blade, which helps in tracking moving targets during dynamic drills.
• Home Defense: The self illuminating tritium front sight ensures you can identify your point of aim in total darkness without needing an external light source to charge the pigment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no tritium in the rear sight?

The Hackathorn design intentionally leaves the rear sight black to prevent the eye from becoming confused by multiple glowing dots. This forces your focus onto the front sight, which is the most important element for accurate handgun shooting at defensive distances.

Will these sights fit my standard holster?

Yes, these sights are designed with a standard profile that is compatible with most duty and concealment holsters. They provide a significant upgrade in visibility without adding unnecessary bulk to your slide.

How long will the tritium glow?

Tritium has a half life of about twelve years. You can expect a bright, usable glow for over a decade, providing you with constant readiness for night time or low light encounters.

Is the orange outline visible during the day?

Absolutely. The ProGlo orange outline is a high contrast paint that is specifically designed to be vibrant in daylight, providing a much faster pickup than a standard white dot or a plain black blade.
