S&W TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHT SET Reviews & Ratings

Nighttime and low light shooting tests prove sights equipped with these glowing dots are easier to see and more accurate than instinctive shooting with standard black sights. Rugged, heavy duty, Traser®, luminous, 3-Dot tritium lamps provide their own long-lasting energy source. Lamps are mounted in silicone-sealed, metal cylinders to give maximum protection from breakage or leakage. Polished sapphire, crystal windows give a bright, crisp and perfectly round aiming dot in low light. Inlaid white rings around each sapphire make the sights appear as standard white dots in daylight. Very narrow blades do not have the white ring and will look more like a plain black blade in daylight. Most can be installed in factory dovetail or sight base.

Trijicon Bright & Tough™ Night Sights are three-dot iron sights that increase night-fire shooting accuracy by as much as five times over conventional sights. Equally impressive, they do so with the same speed as instinctive shooting - and without the need for batteries. Housed in a metal body and cushioned within silicone rubber, Bright & Tough Night Sights feature a unique shock-resistant design. Each lamp is capped with a sapphire jewel to help evenly distribute the light while protecting the lamp from solvents and puncture. Contained within aluminum cylinders for additional protection, the lamps are mounted on silicone rubber cushions to withstand shock and heavy recoil. Green lamps are warranted for 12 years from the date of manufacture.

Great sights

Great sights, tritium doesn't overpower the sights at night. Very crisp and easy to aim. POA = POI on my 9mm Shield. Had to file the rear sight a touch to fit but not difficult. I will be putting them on my daughters handguns after they tried mine and liked the new sights. Don't forget to put red locktite on after/during assembly.

Buy these

This is the set you want to install on your Shield (9mm, 40 S&W) they went on easy with no problems at all, I had gotten the Ameriglo first because they were cheaper but they fit very poorly. The Trijicons fit perfect just like the factory sights, yes they cost a little more but they are worth it, which I should have known since I have Trijicons on all of my other guns.

Great Sights

Its Trijicon!! Works great!

Outstanding

Bright tritium inserts, rugged design, great fit, good looks, accurate. What else is there?

On Shield .40, shoots 5" low.

Mounted these sights on a M&P Shield 40, with Apex trigger kit. Install was fine. After a visit to the range to verify my laser boresighting, I was disappointed to find that the sights dropped my point of aim by about 4" at 15 yards. Windage was right on.. Amazingly, I had a similar problem with an M&P Shield 9 factory sights, which was solved by installing these same sights, which put the sight picture dead on. Apparently, there is some variation in the geometry of the sights, or the firearms, that is not visible in the specifications when ordering. Wish I could find adjustable night sights. Only fix now is to alter your sight picture to a triangle, instead of dot.dot.dot.

Disappoint

Self defense They fit well, the only thing my screw wouldn't go in, had to re-tap the rear sight, Poor machining with the threads ! I Wish the front was brighter or bigger, your eyes goes to the back first, not good for a Self defense Pistol !!!
