Frequently Asked Questions
Will these night sights fit my Glock without any modifications?
The Meprolight Tru-Dot sights are engineered as direct-fit replacements for the factory sights on the Glock 17, 19, 22, and 23. Installation typically requires a sight pusher tool or a visit to a gunsmith—no permanent modifications to your pistol are necessary. Always verify your specific generation and variant before ordering to ensure proper fit.
How long will the tritium illumination last, and does it require charging?
Tritium is a radioactive isotope that produces its own light through a process called radioluminescence—meaning these sights never need batteries, UV charging, or exposure to a light source. The tritium vials in Meprolight Tru-Dot sights have a rated service life of approximately 12 years, after which the glow gradually diminishes but the sights remain fully functional as standard iron sights in daylight.
How do Tru-Dot night sights perform in daylight compared to standard sights?
Meprolight's Tru-Dot design features a fully integrated day/night sight picture. During daylight, the bright white dot outline of each sight insert provides a crisp, high-contrast aiming point comparable to premium target sights. At night or in low-light conditions, the tritium inserts take over, offering a glowing three-dot configuration that allows for fast, accurate target acquisition without any external lighting.
