Night Fision’s Optics Ready Stealth Series (ORS) tritium sights are engineered to offer a lower ⅓ co-witness, but with the new blade heights, a wider array of optics, and handgun combinations will see what is regarded as the best position for backup irons on a handgun with a slide-mounted optic.

As an alternative to repurposing Suppressor Height sights, ORS sights are designed from the dovetail up to work as backup sights for optics, yet obscuring less of the optic window while still allowing three-dot sight alignment if needed.

Night Fision Optics Ready Tritium Sights

Night Fision is pleased to announce new blade height offerings for three manufacturers in their Optics Ready Stealth Series product line; Glock, SIG SAUER, and Heckler & Koch.

Optics Ready Stealth Series FEATURES

  • Green Tritium Vials in front and rear sights are housed in a ballistic-grade polymer
  • Thin ring size on front sight balances visibility without distraction
  • Perfect Dot front sights have a domed lens to focus glow for crisp sight picture and fluorescent rings guaranteed not to chip, crack, or break.
  • Rear sight available in blank or with black polymer ringed Tritium.
  • Serrated heavy-duty steel sight body complimented by a tough Nitride Coating
  • Blade heights allow for various co-witness possibilities with a variety of optic, plate, and milling-depth combinations.
  • Built in the USA with Swiss Tritium

These new sights are designed in a way that they are just high enough to clear the optic. In the past, many shooters have used suppressor height sights to co-witness with an optic. The problem with that is that clutters the optic sight window and can become distracting to the shooter. With many pistol optic manufacturers making larger sight windows, why would we want to impede that with tall irons?

The new Optics Ready Stealth tritium sights are designed to sit right at the bottom of the pistol optic sight window, allowing you to take full advantage of the sight picture, but still have co-witnessed irons as a backup.

Designed to work with pistol optics, these Optics Ready Glock sights offer the perfect 1/3 co-witness tailored to the shooter’s preference. Additionally, they are serrated for low glare so you’ll never know they’re there until you need them.

These additions to our most popular product line affirm that they truly are designed with our customers in mind,” said Rachel Maloney, Marketing Director for Night Fision, “that we can help our customers create their perfect sight picture and remove any barriers to both having the brightest night sights on the market mounted on their gun, yet avoid crowding their optic window when they aren’t needed.”

Do Tritium Sights Glow Forever?

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Now, don’t get nervous when you read the word “radioactive”; tritium’s radiation is so weak that it can’t harm you. Tritium’s energy source is intrinsic, so it doesn’t need charging or prior exposure to light in order to work.

Which is better fiber optic or tritium sights? Tritium sights are better than any fiber optic or photoluminescent sight on the market for the fact that they don’t need to be charged or exposed to light to function. They are always on.

Consequently, if you keep your handgun in a nightstand drawer or safe for long periods of time, its tritium sights will still glow when you take it out. Tritium’s glow is imperceptible when there is adequate environmental light, so tritium sights look like conventional dots in the daytime. It’s almost like having an analog red dot sight that’s always on and doesn’t require any batteries.

How long do tritium night sights last? The important thing to keep in mind about tritium sights is that they will gradually lose their effectiveness over time. The half-life of tritium is about 12.5 years, so in a little over a decade tritium sights will glow only half as brightly as when they were first made. Even at half-life, they are still pretty bright, so if you run your tritium sights for the duration of their life, you’re looking at roughly 20 years of use.

Wrapping It Up!

Like all of Night Fision’s sights, the Optics Ready Stealth Series sights feature tritium vials that carry domed lenses optically engineered for superior visibility.

The patented dome lens collimates the emitted glow from a vial packed with more tritium than most standard night sights on the market for a crisp green dot in dark conditions. Sight rings are made of ballistic polymer that is guaranteed to not chip, crack, fade, or peel under even the most adverse conditions.

Night Fision night sights are CNC machined out of high-quality steel and lenses are constructed from the same materials used for bulletproof glass. All this attention to detail ensures their sights are the brightest available.
