So I'm browsing gunbroker for whatever the hell and come across this "custom" G19. I thought it looked interesting in the thumbnail so I checked it out further. So what the fuck is the point of moving the rear sight up? Is it so you can blame your misses on a shorter sight radius?

The sights are easier to dial in, but they are less accurate.

So they're for lazy people who are ok with mediocrity?
>>32429353
a glock 19 is not the most accurate in the world already so you are probably better off not getting one with that sight picture
if you don't get an RMR theres no point, also barrel isn't threaded
It's cut for an RMR stupid

Its for people who put a red dot on their pistols and the irons as backup/something to protect the lens.

They look ridiculously high. Maybe the owner wanted to have it cowitnessed with a red dot sight.

Well fuck.. I guess I am stupid.
It says right in the description that it's meant for co-witness with an optic.
Also:

What a fucking retard. I'll never understand these people who think they can turn a soulless mass-market product like a Glock into some kind of desirable heirloom gun by dumping oceans of money into it.

What is the science behind this? Is it that it makes user error more evident, or is there some real wizard magic that makes the bullets fly less accurately when the rear sight is moved up?
>>32429456
Sight radius, bro. Look it up. It's part of the reason why something like a snubnose revolver is extremely difficult to shoot accurately at distance despite the gun itself being mechanically capable of it.

>extremely difficult
>mechanically capable
So it just requires a larger dose of m-a-n when using it. I regularly ding water bottles and can's at ~50m with my 442 for giggles. It's not out of the realm of practice.

You're pretty good then. Mind posting a picture of your gun?
