1911 TRITIUM SIGHTS

1911 TRITIUM SIGHTS 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. Tenon, staked, 1911 models require use of special Trijicon installation tools to prevent sight damage.


SPECS: Steel, blued with tritium inserts. Sights listed as Adj. are adjustable sights to fit guns originally equipped with factory, adjustable sights. Sights listed as Fxd. fit guns originally equipped with factory, fixed sights.

Disappointed
Trijicon: This was my first set of Trijicon night sights and I have to say these are DIM (IMO), made in 01/13 I was very disappointed in the quality of brightness, I realize that they can not glow extremely bright but they should be brighter then this. The size of the dots are good for me being in my mid 50's. Brownell's: Very helpful & knowledgeable people, fast shipper A+++++++++++
