which meprolights for my g32

[robertdale]

I am about to order a set of mep night sights. However I am running into a problem on which ones to order. There seems to be two different sizes. My G32 has the one dash over factory rear sight currently and it shoots 4 inches high. Which should I get?

I have the same problem, but for different reasons.*

Your Glock probably shoots high because the sights on it are too low. If you currently have Glock factory fixed sights and it left Smyrna shooting that high then shame on them.

The .357 Sig Glocks muddy the waters when it comes to sights.

Here's what the Glock armorer's course book says:

6.5 (one dash): All Glock models 9mm,.40, and G31 and G32

6.9 (one short dash over one long dash) All 10mm, .45, and the G33

Here's what Trijicon, Meprolight, and Glockmeister say:

6.5 - G17,19,22,23,26,27,33,34,35

6.9 - G20,21,29,30,31,32

(for the record, my G33 uses 6.5 sight in accordance with Trijicon's recommendations and the pistol will shoot the balls off a fly at 25 yards. Yet Glock recommends a higher set of sights for that gun)

*I had Meprolite "Tru Dot" sights installed on my G32 several years ago. My G32 also shoots a tad high and again this may very well be caused by having the wrong sights.

Bottom Line: Go with what the sight mfr. says: 6.9 If they aren't right and you cannot return/exchange them you can always sell them on GT.

At what distance are you getting shots that are 4" high?

Are you using a correct sight picture? (ducking) ~okie~

This same issue is what had me logging on to GT today. I wanted to see if others were having this problem.

My G32, equipped with a THE guide rod and 22# spring also shoots 4" above the front sight at 50 feet using 147 grain ammo. Use of either the stock guide rod or 125 grain ammo has it shooting a little lower, but still higher than desired.

The factory sight matches what is referenced in the Ptooma Complete Glock Reference Guide for a G32. The rear sight specified for the G19/23 is is 0.014" shorter. Using the G19/23 sight should make the gun hit 1.5" lower at 50 feet. This will at least put the two bullet weights hitting in the 3" black of an NRA 50 foot pistol target.

I just got this G32 on Saturday. Before, I was using my G23 with a Federal Arms barrel to convert it to 357 Sig. This combo shot just fine with both calibers.

I'll be ordering a set of G19/23 sights for my G32.

Glad to know I'm not the only one to run into this issue.

It is shooting high at any range from 5 yards to 50 yards. Others that have shot it have the same problem. At 25 feet it will shoot 3 inches high (tested today with Corbon and Winchester). It is factory from the box, stock everything but the .25 cent trigger job.

The PTOOMA book also says that 6.9 sights are the ones to use for the G32.

I'm going to order a set of Triji's in 6.9 from Glock. If they work, fine. If they don't, I'll sell them in the GT want ads for dead cost.

I just had some meps put on my G32.Part #ML-10224.I have yet to fire it with the new sights.According to the quote above I should have the ML-10222.Do I have the right sights on my gun?Would'nt the G32 take the same sights as the 19 and 23?I'm confused.

Taken from the meprolight website:

ML-10222 Sight set for Glock 20, 21 screw-on front
ML-10224 Sight set for Glock 17, 19, 22, 23 screw-on front
ML-10225 Sight set for Glock 17, 19, 22, 23 stake-on front
ML-10226 Sight set for Glock G26 & G27 screw-on front

I just ordered the 6.5 mm sights. Since I am shooting high I am going with the smaller sight for the 19/23 etc. I'll post results later this week when I get them in. Sportsmans guide $57 with member deal and $5 off coupon.

[dglockster]

The chart shows that a G32 takes a 6.9 sight while the G23 takes a 6.5 sight. Is it the caliber that makes the difference? Therefore, if I want to use a .40 barrel or 9mm conversion barrel with my 32, then I have to revert to Kentucky windage?

[mongo356]

If you have access to a sight pusher and some factory rear sights(which are usually cheap).
I used the plastic sights to find which height sight to use. Then ordered meprolights accordingly.
FWIW- my past experience is as follows:

G23- .40 S&W 180 gr. 6.5 Mepro
G32- .357sig 125 gr. 6.5 Mepro
G33- .357sig 125 gr. 6.9 Mepro
all hit just above or 1-2" above the top of the front sight at 25yrds.


Hope this helps

My G33s have the 6.5 (one dash) Mepros and are right on.

My G31 has the 6.9 (one short dash over one long dash) and is right on too.

My G20 and G29 have the 6.9 as well and they are right on too.

So what are the stockers on my G32 ? I shoot perfectly with them the way they are.

I found some Night Sights I like alot. They are made the same as the plastic stockers with the box in the rear insteads of dots.

[Donut Gestapo]

The stock ones should be 6.9 (Long Line with a Short Line on Top).
