Glock Sight Question

I have a set of Tritium night sights for a Glock 22 up for auction. I've had a couple of questions from potential bidders about whether or not these sights will fit any other Glock models. I have no idea on this. The sights have no markings, but I believe they came as a 2nd set of sights with the gun when new. I bought it used, and was told they came with the gun new. When I traded it for my 9mm hi power, I forgot to include the night sights. Now I have them up for sale as I don't need them.

Again, thanks and any help appreciated.

  I have a Glock 17 that I purchased in 1994. Until recently I had night sights installed on it, but a couple weeks ago I had the original factory sights re-installed.
  
  I noticed that the front sight won't stay on the slide at all. The little pin that is supposed to hold the front sight in place is there, but with just a flick of the fingernail the front sight comes right off. The sights were re-installed by a Glock armourer.
  
  My question is, are Glock factory front sights basically no good after having been removed? Do I need to find a set of new sights and have them installed?
  
  Thanks for any help and input.

  If it came off it should go back on.I say take it back and have him make it stay put.

  The polymer clip that holds the sight in place may have been damaged and does not securely hold the sight. The clip costs probably less than a dollar. Try reinstalling with a new one.
  Good luck, -Joe-

  Once you remove a Glock plastic front sight, its trash and can't be reused. They are cheap enough, buy a new sight and pin. If the person who reinstalled that front sight was a real Glock armorer, he should have known that the sight can't be reused.

  Glock sights are nothing but trash once they are taken off. However, you can always order a new one, as they are pretty cheap. I have had better luck finding them on the internet ( try a website called topglock.com ) than at a dealer- the dealers usually ask for a little more than I think they are worth. A new pair of night sights usually costs a lot less, too, if you know what you are doing.
