Ameriglo Tritium Handgun Sights S&W M&P Green Rear W/ Orange Front Sw-816
The Ameriglo Tritium Handgun Sights for S&W M&P deliver reliable low-light performance with a classic three-dot sight picture. Built around self-illuminating tritium tubes, these night sights maintain visibility in darkness without batteries or charging—a proven setup for shooters who need dependable sight alignment in any lighting condition. The combination of an orange-front and green-rear tritium design creates contrast that aids target acquisition both day and night, making these sights equally at home on the range or as a carry defensive sight upgrade.
The Trooper Series rear sight features a serrated square-notch design that delivers a clean, repeatable sight plane while the ProGlo front sight technology enhances brightness and edge definition. For M&P platform shooters, this is a straightforward swap that transforms your handgun's sighting system without requiring gunsmithing. These sights fit Smith & Wesson M&P models (excluding .22, .380, and Shield EZ Pro variants).
If you shoot your M&P in low light—whether hunting, training at dusk, or carrying for personal defense—tritium night sights have earned their place on working handguns for decades. AmeriGlo's reputation rests on reliable lume and solid construction, so you get sights that perform when you need them most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my S&W M&P?
Yes, these AmeriGlo sights fit standard Smith & Wesson M&P models. However, they do not fit the M&P .22, M&P .380, or Shield EZ Pro variants, so verify your platform before ordering.
How do tritium night sights work without a battery?
Tritium is a self-illuminating radioactive isotope sealed in small glass tubes. It glows continuously without power, charging, or external light—making it ideal for emergency or low-light use where you can't rely on a flashlight or sight adjustment.
Can I use these sights in daylight?
Absolutely. The three-dot design and high-contrast orange-front/green-rear color combination work well in daylight shooting. The tritium tubes provide an added benefit in low light, but these sights function as a complete sight system in all conditions.
What's the difference between the front and rear tritium colors?
The orange front and green rear create visual separation and contrast, helping your eye focus on the front sight quickly and center the target in the rear notch. This color pairing is a proven setup for speed and accuracy.
