Frequently Asked Questions
Will these night sights fit my Colt 1911 without modification?
These Trijicon night sights are specifically designed for Colt 45 pistols with a .125-inch tang front sight. While they are engineered for a precise fit, installation by a qualified gunsmith is recommended to ensure proper fit, torque, and alignment for safe and accurate performance.
How long will the tritium illumination last?
Trijicon uses high-quality tritium lamps that retain approximately 50% of their original brightness after 12 years. Even after this period, the sights remain functional — the glow simply dims gradually over time. No batteries or external power source are ever needed.
How do Trijicon night sights perform in bright daylight compared to standard sights?
Trijicon night sights feature an enhanced daylight dot design that makes the tritium vials clearly visible even in direct sunlight, giving you a distinct aiming point day or night. Most shooters find them noticeably faster for target acquisition than standard black post-and-notch iron sights in all lighting conditions.
