My latest projects have been working up cast loads for my new suppressor hosts. I have worked my way to my Glock 17. It is all factory, aside from a Faxon threaded barrel. The suppressor is a Silencerco Hybrid. It's a great suppressor, but as it is magnum rifle rated it is heavy and has a slightly wider circumference. This makes using factory sights impossible. From what I can gather, even some aftermarket suppressor sights won't clear it. Anyone have any insight? What are the tallest sights you have seen with the best chance of clearing it?

Currently running 147 gr Lyman boolits, PC with Eastwood Ford Light Blue. SUPER quiet!

I know a red dot will solve this, but after getting the slide cut and buying a quality optic I could have bought a whole new suppressor ready pistol and saved myself the time.

While not as awesome as a cut slide, there is a red dot package with a rear dovetail sight plate included. $99 u.s. for the sight and several plates.

I feel your pain with open sights and suppression.
