Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my S&W 1911 without gunsmithing?
The Meprolight Tru-Dot sights are designed as direct replacements for S&W 1911 Full-Size pistols equipped with Novak-cut dovetails. Most installations can be completed with minimal fitting, though some shooters prefer to have a qualified gunsmith press-fit the rear sight for the best possible zero and retention. Always verify your specific model's sight dimensions before installation.
How long do the tritium inserts last?
Meprolight's tritium inserts have a half-life of approximately 12 years, and Meprolight backs them with a 12-year warranty against defects in illumination. After this period, the sights will still function as standard iron sights in daylight — only the self-illuminated glow will gradually diminish. Most shooters find the sights remain usefully bright well beyond the warranty period.
What is the difference between green/green and green/yellow Tru-Dot configurations?
The green/green configuration (front and rear both green) offers a consistent, uniform sight picture that many shooters prefer for speed in low light. A green/yellow or green/orange setup uses a different-colored front dot to help the eye naturally distinguish the front sight from the rear — a popular choice for competitive and duty use. The green/green option on this listing is well-suited for defensive and tactical applications where quick dot alignment is critical.
