Trijicon 1911 Colt Cut Hd Night Sight Set - Orange Front Outline

The Trijicon 1911 Colt Cut HD Night Sight Set delivers the fast, reliable target acquisition that serious shooters demand in low-light and transitional lighting scenarios. Built for tactical use on full-size 1911s cut for Colt dovetail, this three-dot night sight system pairs Trijicon's proven self-illuminating tritium technology with thoughtful ergonomic design to keep you effective when daylight fades or conditions shift unpredictably.

The front sight blade stands taller than standard geometry and features an orange photoluminescent outline around the aiming point—a configuration that accelerates front sight acquisition and maintains visibility whether you're in near-darkness relying on tritium or in ambient light where the paint charges. The rear sight opens up a wider U-shaped notch and is outlined in black for clean sight picture definition. That rear sight also features a steeply hooked front surface, a practical touch for shooters who need to manipulate the slide one-handed in a fight or during speed reloads.

Green tritium lamps power the three-dot array and are rated for 12 years from manufacture, so you get years of reliable glow without batteries or charging. Whether you're carrying daily, training hard at the range, or running low-light defensive drills, this sight set gives you the speed and confidence to track your front sight fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these sights fit my 1911?

These sights are machined for Colt dovetail cuts on full-size 1911 frames. Verify your 1911 has a Colt-pattern dovetail before purchase; different manufacturers occasionally use different dovetail specs.

What's the difference between the front and rear sight in this set?

The front sight features a taller blade with an orange photoluminescent aiming point ring, designed to quicken acquisition. The rear sight has a wider U-shaped notch outlined in black, a steeply hooked front surface for one-handed slide manipulation, and tritium for low-light visibility.

How long do the tritium lamps last?

Trijicon rates the green tritium lamps in this set for 12 years from the date of manufacture, after which the glow will gradually diminish.

Do I need to buy anything else to install these?

The set includes front and rear sights but does not include a set screw, so you may need to source that separately depending on your 1911's existing hardware.
