Quoted from their site....
"NOTE: Sights may require minor fitting and may not be returned after installation. The Vickers Elite Glock® Sight set requires the use of a .245”tall front sight for all caliber Glock® pistols except for .45 ACP and 10mm which will typically require the .230” front sight. Sights may require minor fitting and may not be returned after installation. These front sights are taller than factory Glock® and not compatible with standard factory rear sights without adjusting the sight height."

What are they going on?  

IME, the Gen4 9mms usually require a taller front than the Gen3s.  

Not sure what height the Wilson rear is, but the standard Heinie height rears are usually using .230-.250 with 124 and 147gr ammo.

So this one.  If I go with the front listed in the OP wouldn't that let the pistol shoot like a Sig I know the whole have to aim below the target to hit the target.

I'd start with the .245 since that's what Wilson recommends.  A Sig hits behind the dot.

Is there a way to make the Glock shoot the same?

Why not just call or email Wilson, tell them where you want POA/POI to be and ask them which height front sight they recommend for your gun.

Yeah, just use a taller front sight.  The .245 on a 19 should do it.  I'm having to use .250s with 10-8 rears on Gen4 34s.

Why do guys go with fiber optics for the front. Do they glow in the dark

They don't glow in the dark, but are very bright in daylight.

Thanks I ordered the darked out rear and the .245 front, I didn't go with fiber optic
