Meprolight Tru-Dot Black Tritium Sight Set - Green Front & Orange Rear

The Meprolight Tru-Dot Black Tritium Sight Set pairs a green front sight with an orange rear sight, giving you a high-contrast 3-dot sight picture that works in complete darkness—no batteries, no switches, no excuses. Tritium gas capsules are self-illuminating and stay bright for decades, making these handgun sights ideal for defensive shooting, low-light hunting, and any situation where you need to find your target when ambient light fails. Military and law enforcement users trust Tru-Dot sights because they work exactly the same in daylight, dusk, and pitch black.

Meprolight's tritium sights are chemically inert and stand up to gun solvents, oils, and weather without degradation. The green front blade delivers contrast against the orange rear, eliminating the guesswork of aligning your sight picture. Each set includes both front and rear sights, though installation varies by platform: some models replace the rear sight entirely, while others use a new rear leaf assembly. Front sights typically slip over and pin to the existing blade, though specific fitment depends on your handgun model.

Whether you carry a 1911, a modern auto, or a revolver, Tru-Dot sights transform your ability to shoot in darkness. They've been field-proven by NATO, U.S., and Israeli military units, and they're equally at home on a duty carry gun, a competition pistol, or a home-defense handgun. The 12-year warranty covers the original purchaser, giving you confidence in the lifespan of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these tritium sights fit my handgun?

Meprolight Tru-Dot sights are made for specific handgun platforms. Front sights typically slip over and pin to your existing blade, while rear sight installation varies: some models replace the rear entirely, and others—like those for S&W revolvers—use a new rear leaf assembly. Check the specific model number for your gun to ensure correct fitment.

How long do tritium sights stay bright?

Tritium gas capsules are self-illuminating and provide reliable light for decades. They require no batteries, switches, or external power source, and they remain unaffected by gun solvents, oils, or weather conditions.

What's the difference between the green front and orange rear?

The green front sight and orange rear sight create a high-contrast 3-dot sight picture that your eye can quickly acquire in low light. The contrast between the two colors helps you center the front sight in the rear notch, even when ambient light is minimal.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Meprolight backs Tru-Dot sights with a 12-year manufacturer warranty covering the original purchaser.
