Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Trijicon HD front sight work with my standard S&W M&P rear sight?
Yes. The Trijicon HD Orange Front sight is designed to pair seamlessly with standard M&P rear sights, and it works best when combined with a matching Trijicon HD rear sight for a full HD night sight system. The taller HD front post is calibrated to maintain proper point-of-impact when used with HD-height rear sights, so upgrading the full set is recommended for optimal accuracy.
What is the difference between the orange front and the standard white front night sight?
The orange front sight ring provides a higher-contrast aiming point under daylight and artificial lighting conditions, making it faster for your eye to pick up the front sight naturally. This is especially beneficial during dynamic shooting situations or when transitioning between targets quickly. The tritium insert still glows green in the dark regardless of ring color, so low-light performance is equally strong across both versions.
How long will the tritium in this sight remain visible?
Trijicon uses high-quality tritium phosphor lamps rated to maintain usable illumination for approximately 12 years from the date of manufacture. After this period the glow will gradually diminish, but the sight itself remains fully functional as a standard iron sight in daylight conditions. The manufacture date is typically marked on the sight or its packaging for reference.
