Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of TruGlo Tritium Pro night sights?

The TruGlo Tritium Pro sights offer excellent low-light visibility due to their Swiss tritium vials. They feature a bold front sight for quick acquisition and a plain rear sight to reduce glare. The steel construction with Fortress Finish ensures durability, and the aggressive forward cant on the rear sight aids in one-handed slide manipulation.

How do TruGlo Tritium Pro sights perform in low-light conditions?

In low-light conditions, all three tritium vials on the TruGlo Tritium Pro sights glow, creating a visible three-dot arrangement. This makes lining up shots and making accurate fire much easier compared to standard white dot sights.

What is the purpose of the aggressive forward cant on the rear sight?

The aggressive forward cant on the rear sight of the TruGlo Tritium Pro is designed to provide a ledge. This ledge allows for emergency one-handed slide operation by hooking the rear sight onto a holster, belt, or other stable surface to rack the slide.

What materials are the TruGlo Tritium Pro sights made from?

The TruGlo Tritium Pro sights are constructed from durable steel bodies. They are further enhanced with TruGlo's Fortress Finish, a metal treatment that increases their overall resilience and longevity.
