Image #3 is the one you want for night sights - you probably won't be able to see the top edge of the sight. It makes perfect sense. I just hadn't seen it in any of my earlier Glocks.

Just buy a Gen 4 rear sight. Yep. Because it's a lot more fun hitting that little plate at 50 yards than shooting under it.

From 10-8 performance
“ Remember that the bullseye style 6 o'clock hold, where you aim at some arbitrary spot below where you want your holes to appear, is a leftover from bullseye competition and has no place in tactical applications. If your sights shoot too high, change them. You should ideally have your sights set up to produce a point of impact (POI) that matches your point of aim. We suggest setting up pistols at 25 yards, with the bullet impacts (POI) no more than about 1" high. We like to see the bullet impacting just above the plane of sighting, and never want the POI lower than POA.”
If I had young eyes, I might get the sight picture #3 but I don’t and I prefer sight pic #2. I don’t want the front sight to cover up the target. I can “drive the dot” but I will never settle for a POI to be below the sights.

My favorite was early Gen III ie parkerized slide, smooth finger groves. Sadly that was short-lived affair.

All my Gen2 pistols (17, 21, 22) with Trijicon sights hit to sight picture 2. Gen4 model 19 with factory night sights hits to sight picture 2. Gen5 model 19 with factory night sights hits to sight picture 3. Imagine 1 is called the boomer hold. 😂

Ok I will bite, As a tightass that hasn't ever bought nite sights for the Gen 2 19, And ignores the dots, I line up the sights.
So if it's set up to hit POA off the dots, It's dead nuts on.
In the dark, at close range.
But, now I have to relearn 40 years of shooting to be able to shoot accurately at longer ranges? Where accuracy is more important?
Seems bassackward to me.

Sighting is a to each his own deal. I use image #2 because I shoot longer ranges with my pistol that would not be possible with image #3. It's still a fast option and more precise. If I'm using my night sights, they disappear when I turn on my light to PID the target. Anyone wants to shoot in the dark without Positively IDing the target go ahead but that ain't for me.
