TFO Handgun Sight

I have tried fiber optics, tritium, light absorbing paint and these TFO (tritium + fiberoptics) make an amazing combo! I am very very pleased. The TRUglow brand is wonderful the way it has a low profile and after installing them they are perfectly sighted in on my SA XDm .40...exactly like the factory sights were. These sights have rounded edges so they don't snag on fabric or holsters and I simply love them. They shine brilliantly in the daylight and glow well at night, even in total darkness! I also love the way their glowing is not seen from the sides or in front, but only from the angle of the one holding the gun. These are the best sights I've ever used ever seen on any gun! The only down side is that you have to pay a gunsmith to install them as they are hard to put on and if you hammer them in place you can break them, so this will cost another $50-100. I actually bought "The Sight Pusher" made by Fisher Products and removed my factory sights and installed these... but I'd not recommend it. I ended up spending almost 5 hours to do the project (that I expected to take 20 min) and there were a number of steps that I was worried about breaking my sights or even bending my pistol slide! I recommend just taking yours to a competent gunsmith that has high end tools to use.

These are an ideal combination of Tritium and Fiberoptic sight. It is also ideal that the ends are blacked out on the opposite end facing away. I was tempted to install these myself on my XDM, but heeded other warnings I heard in the part review. Listen to it. I took it to a Gunsmith and I'm glad I did. Even with that, there is a slight, and I do mean slight bend in the front sight, which is barely discernible, due to the pressure required for the install. It does not affect the view alignment, but is nonetheless there. For Home Defense, this sight is ideal. If it is dark or daylight, you always good feedback for the sight picture. I'm tempted to put it on my CC as they are reasonably low profile, but that might be a waste due to the way it might be used under duress, i.e. quick response, without time to take proper sight alignment. I have a number of Tritium sights, which will be needed to be replaced in ten (10) years, and I'll be glad to replace them with this model.

Purchased this and a Wolloveevo sight pusher as I grew tired of taking pistols to gunsmith to change out my sights as they grow old or a better sight for my old eyes comes along! Perfect (as expected from Tru-glo, and the most difficult time I had with the sights a the sight pusher was opening the plastic clamshell packaging. Great product; tritium is bright at night, and daytime fiber optics easy to align to Target!!!

I've owned some tritium watches and have always been fascinated with the glow of tritium. Tritium lasts about 10 years before the glow fades. No batteries required. If you have flashlights or lasers on your gun the battery may run out when you most need it. With tritium you can always rely on the glow to be there. At least for 10-12 yearsTo put tritium on gun sights is a brilliant idea! I know they've been out for a while. I've looked into purchasing some for a few years. The price was always around $130-$140 when I searched for them. To get these at $80.00 is a bargain! It is night and day difference. Check out my pictures! It is hard for the camera to pick up the light in pitch black darkness so I didn't try a completely dark picture. I see others have already posted similarly. The camera can't capture the actual glow like your eyes do. When you are in complete darkness the tritium is super easy to see to aim your gun. The color and brightness contrast is perfect. The yellow rear sight is slightly dimmer than the brighter front green sight just like it should be. I wouldn't ever get rear and front sights with the same color and brightness. It isn't blinding in complete darkness either, so it is a perfect sight in every way. It is not only amazing in darkness but it is great in any lighting condition. The tritium fiber optic combo is the best of both worlds. When outside in the daytime the fiber optics pick up plenty of light making it very easy to aim as well. If you have factory sights on your gun this purchase is a no brainier. Just buy it already.

1/21/2021.****** UPDATE After having my front sight break (5 1/2 years of use) while @ the range, I contacted Truglo about the warranty. I was told it had a 12 year warranty, and that if I wanted it repaired under warranty, they would create an RMA (Return of Merchandise Authorization). I shipped slide (per their instructions) off on 1/11/21, and received my my slide with replaced (NEW!!) front AND rear sights and warranty!!! Who does that?? That's like buying 2 new tires, getting a flat in one and the tireshop gives you 2 new tires!! That is how you get a return customer!! THANK YOU TRUGLO!!! You have made a customer for life! (Pictures included to show new sights an broken sight) ORIGINAL REVIEW: Great sights so far. The green flows brightly and @ the same level, unlike luminescent painted sight which are initially brighter but slowly dim. And the fiber optics pick up ambient light very well for daylight shooting.
