Frequently Asked Questions
Can these sights be used without a suppressor?
Absolutely. While the raised suppressor height is designed to provide a clear sight picture over a mounted suppressor or muzzle device, these sights function perfectly on a standard Glock 42 as well. Many shooters choose suppressor-height sights specifically to co-witness with a Trijicon RMR or similar micro red dot optic, making them a versatile upgrade even without a suppressor attached.
How long will the tritium illumination last?
Trijicon warrants the green tritium lamps in these sights for 12 years from the date of manufacture. Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope that emits a steady glow without any batteries or external light source. After the warranty period the lamps will continue to emit light, though brightness gradually diminishes over time — typically remaining useful well beyond the 12-year mark.
Are these sights a drop-in fit, or do they require professional installation?
Trijicon Suppressor Night Sights are designed to fit Glock's standard dovetail cuts on the 42, 43, 43X, and 48 models. While a qualified gunsmith can install them quickly using a sight-pusher tool, experienced DIY shooters with the right tools can also complete the installation at home. Proper torque and alignment are important for accuracy and safety, so professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with sight installation procedures.
