The TruGlo TFXBlack TG13NV1A is a green tritium and fiber optic handgun sight set designed for 1911-style pistols with Novak LoMount dovetail cuts. This sight pair combines two proven illumination technologies—self-powered tritium for darkness and bright fiber optic elements for daylight—so you get a sight picture whether you're shooting at noon or midnight. The white outline framing on both front and rear sights helps your eye find focus fast, which matters when speed and accuracy count. TFX sights eliminate the need for batteries and the guesswork of wondering whether your sights will perform when light fades.
Built for hard use, the TFXBlack features TruGlo's encapsulated tritium and fiber optic technology sealed inside a chemical and shock-resistant housing. The CNC-machined steel body is coated with FORTRESS FINISH, a rust-proof protective layer designed to withstand field conditions, cleaning solvents, and ultrasonic cleaning. The snag-free profile fits standard holsters, and the compact geometry doesn't catch on gear or clothing during draw. TFX sights are a straightforward, reliable upgrade for shooters who want their sights to work when it counts.
Installation requires fitting to your 1911's existing Novak LoMount cut; professional gunsmith installation is recommended to ensure proper dovetail seating and sight height. Once installed, these sights ask nothing of you—no batteries to replace, no electronics to fail. Swiss-sourced tritium provides the glow; fiber optic elements handle the day. The result is honest, functional sighting that performs around the clock.
