I have a TA33 in amber that's 10 years old and the tritium is still quite visible.

Is there a lot of ambient light, as in just covering the front with your hand but you are in a bright room? Try going into a dark, essentially pitch black room and try to looking at it then. The tritium only really shines in total darkness.

The TA01NSNs are all subdued tritium.
Even brand new it's hard to pick up the glow even at night. |

Tritium is always dim. It's meant to be used in near complete darkness. I don't find it all that useful. Not a fan of any night sights either.

Had an early model with amber sold it and went fiber optics red...
Green or red either one is my preference these days.... For my purposes though I'd rather have an LED with a 2MOA dot and a decent reticle for <300 yds and 55gr XM193 |

Okay, so here is a related question. Does anyone know if Trijicon will replace the tritium for a fee when it starts to dim? I mean, with a life of 20 years, that sounds long, but that means you are losing 5% of the brightness every year.

makes you wonder what the point is of having "glow in the dark?" My red tritium is visible, but not so much the amber. When it burns out Trijicon will replace it for a few hundred dollars. You can also send it in if you feel it is dimmer than it should be and they will test it and warranty if necessary. That's probably not the case though, it's just the model you have deliberately has subdued tritium. |
