The TruGlo TG13NV3A TFX Black Tritium & Fiber Optic Night Sights deliver reliable, always-on illumination for your 1911-style pistol—no batteries, no fumbling in low light. This sight set combines Swiss tritium and fiber-optic technology in a rugged, compact design built to handle the demands of training, competition, and defensive carry. The green/white front sight and green rear sight work together to give you a clear sight picture in full daylight or complete darkness, making these sights genuinely capable across all shooting conditions.
Built for durability, the TFX sights feature a snag-free profile designed to fit standard holsters without snagging draw or presentation. The illuminating elements are fully encapsulated in a shock- and chemical-resistant housing—that means they'll survive oils, solvents, and even ultrasonic cleaning without degradation. The CNC-machined steel construction is finished with TruGlo's FORTRESS FINISH, a rust-proof protective coating that keeps your sights looking sharp and functioning flawlessly through years of use.
The white ring surrounding the front fiber optic element is a smart feature: it speeds up target acquisition by drawing your eye to the front sight naturally, supporting the sight picture discipline that makes fast, accurate shooting possible. Because the fiber optic element is concealed inside the housing, there's nothing for a threat to see—just your weapon in their peripheral. These are Novak LoMount replacement sights, designed for 1911-pattern handguns with the corresponding fixed dovetail cut; minor fitting may be required, and installation by a competent gunsmith is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 1911 models do these sights fit?
The TG13NV3A uses the Novak LoMount dovetail cut. These sights fit 1911-pattern handguns with that fixed Novak LoMount dovetail cut on the slide. Some fitting may be required, and installation by a competent gunsmith is recommended.
Do these sights require batteries or charging?
No. The tritium and fiber-optic design is entirely passive. Tritium glows on its own, and the fiber-optic element gathers ambient light. There are no batteries to replace and no charging required.
Are the night sights visible in bright daylight?
Yes. The fiber-optic element and the white ring around the front sight provide excellent visibility in daylight conditions. The sights are designed for reliable, accurate aiming in all lighting environments.
Will cleaning solvents or ultrasonic cleaning damage the sights?
No. The illuminating elements are fully encapsulated in a capsule that resists oils, chemicals, cleaning solvents, and ultrasonic cleaning processes without degradation.
