The TruGlo TFX ProBlack tritium and fiber optic sight set delivers day and night visibility without batteries or external light sources. This green/orange front and green rear combo is purpose-built for shooters who need reliable sight acquisition in any condition—from bright daylight ranges to low-light self-defense scenarios. The tritium provides that glow when the sun goes down; the fiber optic front sight soaks up ambient light during the day. Built from chemical-resistant materials engineered to handle the rigors of serious shooting, TFX Pro sights are a proven choice for carry guns and range work alike.
What sets the ProBlack apart is speed of target acquisition. The contrasting colored front focus ring helps your eye settle on the front sight faster, which is where accuracy lives. The U-notch rear design is classically proven for quick, repeatable sight picture. And if you ever need to operate one-handed in an emergency, the aggressively angled rear sight edge gives you something solid to work with. These sights fit 1911-pattern handguns with existing Novak LoMount dovetail cuts—a common spec for 3-inch Officers models and 4.25-inch Commanders in 9mm and .40 S&W.
Installation requires a competent gunsmith to ensure proper fit and function. Once mounted, you're getting the full feature set that made the original TFX handgun sights a trusted option for defensive and competition shooters: hybrid illumination, rock-solid construction, and no maintenance beyond the occasional cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these TruGlo TFX ProBlack sights fit my 1911?
Yes, if your 1911 slide has a Novak LoMount dovetail cut. They're designed for 3-inch Officers and 4.25-inch Commander models in 9mm and .40 S&W. Some fitting may be required, and professional installation by a gunsmith is recommended.

The front sight is green with an orange focus ring to help your eye acquire the front sight quickly. The rear sight is green. This contrast speeds target acquisition and is a proven setup for defensive and range shooting.
