Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Trijicon HD sights fit all 1911 pistols, or only Colt models?
These sights are specifically engineered to match the dovetail cuts and sight height specifications of Colt 1911 pistols. While many 1911-pattern firearms share similar dimensions, fitment can vary by manufacturer. Always verify your pistol's front and rear sight dovetail specifications before ordering, or consult a qualified gunsmith to confirm compatibility with non-Colt 1911 variants.
Why choose an orange front sight outline instead of the standard green tritium dot?
The orange photoluminescent outline around the front tritium vial dramatically increases daytime contrast, making it faster to pick up your front sight against a variety of backgrounds. In bright conditions, the orange ring is highly visible without relying on tritium glow. At night, the tritium lamp inside still illuminates, giving you a reliable, self-luminous aiming point — combining the best of both daylight and low-light performance.
How long does the tritium illumination last, and does it require any maintenance?
Trijicon tritium night sights are self-luminous and require absolutely no batteries, charging, or external light exposure to glow. The tritium gas vials have a natural half-life that gradually dims over time; Trijicon backs the lamps with a 12-year warranty on tritium illumination, ensuring dependable low-light performance throughout the life of the sight under normal use conditions.
