Who This Is For
These sights are an ideal upgrade for Glock 42 owners who carry suppressed, run a red dot optic as their primary aiming solution, or simply want a bombproof night sight that performs in any lighting condition. They are equally well-suited for home-defense and concealed-carry shooters who demand confidence-inspiring visibility in low light without sacrificing speed during daylight use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights work as backup iron sights (BUIS) with the Trijicon RMR?
Yes. The suppressor-height profile is specifically engineered to co-witness through the Trijicon RMR optic window, allowing you to use these tritium irons as fully functional backup sights if your red dot fails or loses power. This makes them a smart pairing for any Glock 42 or 43-series pistol running an RMR or similarly sized mini red dot.
Do these sights require any batteries or external light source to glow?
No batteries or external charging are required. The tritium phosphor lamps are self-illuminating radioactive gas tubes that emit a constant glow 24/7 for the life of the sight. Trijicon warrants the green tritium lamps for 12 years from the date of manufacture, ensuring reliable low-light performance for well over a decade of everyday carry.
Can I install Trijicon Suppressor Night Sights myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
Installation typically requires a sight-pusher tool or a brass punch and mallet to drive the rear sight in and out of the dovetail, along with the correct front sight tool for Glock pistols. Experienced shooters comfortable with basic pistol armorer work can install them at home; however, if you are unfamiliar with the process, having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation is recommended to avoid damaging the slide or sight body.
