Trijicon Bright & Tough Night Sight Set for 1911 - Wide Tenon Front & Standard GI Rear, Steel Matte 3-Dot Tritium Green

The Trijicon Bright & Tough Night Sight Set for 1911 is a three-dot tritium sight system built for shooters who need reliable low-light performance without batteries or electronics. This set fits standard Colt Govt. 1911 models made after 1988, as well as Para Ordnance P10 and P14 platforms (with stake-in front sights, excluding Limited versions). Whether you're training at dusk, hunting in low-light conditions, or keeping your 1911 combat-ready, these sights deliver the speed and accuracy of instinctive shooting even when ambient light fades.

The three-dot configuration uses green tritium lamps housed in steel with a matte finish. Each lamp sits inside an aluminum cylinder mounted on silicone rubber cushions—a design that absorbs shock and recoil without degrading performance. The sapphire jewel cap on each lamp protects the tritium from solvents and damage while distributing light evenly across the sight picture. This is rugged, no-nonsense hardware engineered for duty-grade reliability.

The front sight features a wide tenon profile, while the rear sight follows standard GI specifications, giving you a traditional 1911 sight picture with modern low-light capability. Unlike old-school paint or tritium sights that dim over time, these lamps hold their glow reliably. Trijicon backs the green tritium with a 12-year warranty from manufacture, so you know what you're getting is built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these night sights fit my 1911?

Yes, if you have a Colt Govt. 1911 made after 1988 or a Para Ordnance P10 or P14 with stake-in front sights (excluding Limited versions). The wide tenon front and standard GI rear are designed for these platforms.

Do these sights require batteries or electricity?

No. Tritium is self-luminous—the green lamps glow continuously without power sources or charging. They work entirely on the natural radioactive decay of tritium gas.

How long do the tritium lamps last?

Trijicon warrants the green tritium lamps for 12 years from the date of manufacture. Over time, tritium naturally decays, but these sights maintain usable brightness well beyond the warranty period.

What makes these sights tough enough for duty use?

The sights are built with aluminum cylinders and mounted on silicone rubber cushions that absorb recoil shock. Each tritium lamp is capped with a sapphire jewel for protection against solvents and impact damage—features you'd expect from sights designed for hard use.
