Tritium night sights
« on: April 16, 2010, 08:30:22 AM »
I have had to carry and use a pistol at night [ retired LEO ] so I see a REAL need to see the sights in the dark - ergo,night sights are very useful in MNSHO  :).BTW - I do not like an attached light to my pistol as I do NOT believe in pointing/aiming my firearm at something I am attempting to I.D..

I would like night sights, as well.  Don't have a thing with them.  Think it would be cool, to pull out the gun and see the sights at night.         ;D

I have tritiums on my carry Glocks and the one on the nightstand and in my holster 99% is a G-23 and I LOVE night sights and any who have shot in the dark would also.You can actually shoot better in reduced light with the TNS as you focus on the front sights and that is all that is needed for accuray and hits.

I have a Glock 33.  May give that one some night life!    :)

I installed them on my G-19 and my Kahr P-380, my Kahr PM 40 and Kimber Ultra CDP came with them.

P7 on the nightstand has tritium - yellow back green front.  Very nice.  Would love to have the pup with visible evening dress as well.  Understand from previous posts that R9 won't handle tritium containers which shatter under the stress.  

Any alternative info?  Thanks, Carlos

Corey,
   Good post, it seems it's a dead issue.

kj look at XS big dot sights with Tritium inserts.  Have on my 32 and love them day or night.  Easy to install.

Dino.  That's an idea.  Looks like the XS with Tritium inserts would work on the Glock 33.  Will look into that.  Thanks!

I have the XS big dot sights on my Kahr P380, got them from Kahr and installed them myself.

I'll definitely look into the XS big dots for the G33 as I have absolutely nothing with night sights; seems like a good candidate for this project.

 I am running Tru Glow sites on my Sig 228.  They are a combination of Tritium Nightsites and Fiber Optics, best of both worlds.

I haven't tried those but they sound like they would be perfect, good in the daytime and low light.
