Glock sights with thin front sight

Hi all. It is time for new sights on my Glocks, as the tritium lamps are all about dead. I installed some Ameriglo Operator sights (GL-147) on my G26 about 10 years ago and really liked them. The front sight on them is 0.125" wide. I've noticed that as my eyes age, I'm able to focus on the narrow front sight blade better than I can on the standard 0.140" wide sights on my other Glocks.

I looked on Ameriglo's website, and it looks like GL-147 has been discontinued. Looks like the GL-146 is the same but has a white outline on the front sight, so I may go that route. I'm also looking at the Spartan Operators (GL-446) - I like the orange outline on the front sight. But I don't see any mention of the front sight being narrow on those. Can anyone confirm the width of the Spartan Operator front sight blade? Anyone aware of any other similar sight options with a thinner front sight?
