What do you guys think?
You have to charge them before using them. What if a bad guy is in a hurry and can't wait on you to do that? Seems I dunno to me... |

Tritium sights or glow-in-the-dark paint?
If talking about the latter then yes, worthless. |

I don't consider luminescent sights to be good for carry use. All my carry guns have true night sights. I love luminescent sights on my range guns since they are great in daylight but are little better than black sights in low light.

Worthless. If the ambient light isn't enough to charge them, how are you supposed to make use of them in a low light situation?

Concur.
Glow in the dark paint is only useful if you know you're walking into shit and have time to charge it with a flashlight. (possibly screwing with your low-light vision) Tritium sights are great. Their light is generated by the slow decay of radioactive tritium gas, so it is always on. The drawback is the 12 year half-life of the tritium. As the gas decays, they loose intensity. In 12 years they will be half as bright as they were originally. In 12 more years, they will loose half of that remaining brightness. If you want fully functional tritium sights, you have to have them replaced or rebuilt every 10-15 years. |

The Trijicon HD sights have both and I love them. Big bright orange or yellow dot with tritium in the middle.
The photo luminescent dots were designed for the transition from outside daylight to indoors with questionable lighting. Like when an officer would be chasing a suspect. Would you need this in a CCW? Probably not. But I still dig them. Trijicon HD: Attached File Fiber optic (not the same as photo luminescent): Attached File |

Personally I don't think that tritium or glow sights are terrifically useful. For me, if it's dark enough to see the tritium only, then it's dark enough that I can't identify my target. If I don't know what I'm shooting at, I shouldn't be shooting. If it's bright enough that I can see my target, then I can see my sights. If I use a WML, then it washes out the dots on the sight anyways. I'd focus on sight sizing, colors, and dot/line/other layouts that work best and quickest for you before I'd worry about if it's paint or tritium.

Tritium certainly has a place and is a viable option for carry guns but always need to consider the bigger picture of needing adequate light to fully id a threat so a white light ( weapon mounted hand held or better yet both) need to be part of the deal. Any paint you would have to hit with white light to result in a period of glow is out for sure

I used to live in a crappy house in the middle of nowhere. Not much chance of thieves, but lots of dealing with wildlife - I'm talking snakes in the living room and shower, groundhogs digging up through the floor of the porch, raccoons trying to get in through the front door, coyotes after the neighbor's horse, etc. Lots of low-light shooting. First I tried a light. A light lets you see the target, but not your sights. Tritium sights let you see the sights, but not your target. Combination has always worked pretty well for me.

The main reason I got them for my Glock was they come with plastic sights. As others have said, if all you can see is the tritium then you likely can't ID the target.

If you think glow in the dark painted sights are useless then maybe you haven't seen what Seiko does with Dive rated watches or how that has become a significant mod for watch owners.
You can get good luminous paint off Amazon now and there are plenty of photos online showing it's intensity over 8 hours. One specific trait is that coming in from daylight luminous sights are brighter than tritium for at least half an hour - it's at the 2-4 hour mark that tritium shows it's consistency. What we don't rate well is the human eye becoming dark adapted and it's ability to see better after time. I've suggested it for years now and the makers aren't listening - WHEN DO WE GET LED ILLUMINATED SIGHTS? They could even be light sensitive and compensate, we already have red dot scopes doing that. Battery life? Aimpoint gets years of constant on, there should be no difference. You wouldn't need to charge them and the half life is more dependent on abuse, not time. It's not rocket science. We could even have a pulsing front sight. Lasers already do that. Imagine that with your weapon light on - it's not going to get washed out and should work in any lighting. |

This is a topic I have been thinking about a lot lately. Currently I am seriously thinking about moving away from night sights all together and going strictly fiber optic front and blacked out rear sight.
I have always had night sights on my guns before. I started with Tru-Glo TFO's on my Glock 22, then I bought Ameriglo I-Dots for my Glock 19. Then I put a 10-8 rear sight on my Glock 19 with the high def front and I really like that set up. Eventually I put a 10-8 front and rear on my Glock 22, I use that for shooting USPSA Limited now. My Glock 19 has the Ameriglo FBI contract sights, and my Glock 43 has Ameriglo Cap sights. Since I started shooting USPSA I put way more rounds through my Glock 22 than anything else I have grown to prefer a fiber optic front and blacked out rear. I like the precise yet fast sight picture so much that I might put them on my Glock 19. I don't feel that I will miss the tritium on that gun since I always carry it with a weapon light. I would like to put fiber optics on my Glock 43 as well but since I don't carry that with a light this becomes more difficult. I shot my 43 today at 25 yards and it was hitting 3 inches low at 25, the Cap sights are nice but they aren't very precise at that range. Essentially this comes down to I want precise yet fast sight pictures, and poi/poa dead on at 25 yards. I think fiber optic sights can deliver that better than night sights can. |

View Quote All my carry guns have some brand of tritium sights on them, or they aren't carry guns. My wife and I walk around our neighborhood most nights twelve months a year.

Just because the area you're in isn't illuminated doesn't mean the area the shoot-ee is in is dark. I tried to find the pictures (and failed), but there are plenty of examples of situations where your area might be dark enough to have a hard time picking up sights, but you can still identify your target. If your living place is anything like my shitty living place you can test this by turning on a small light in a room at the end of a hallway, but keeping the lights in the hallway off. Is this situation common enough for you to really care? Who knows. I love the bright front sights on the CAPs or HDs so they're worth it just for the day as well, but tritium sights do have their purpose.
That said, if I had to choose between night sights and a light, I'd go with the light every time. e: Well crap, should've refreshed the page. I agree with the post above. |

For me the price of night sights is essentially nothing when you factor in how many rounds I shoot per year. However for some people, $100 for night sights is a lot of money. If you can afford them, get them. If it comes down to rounds for training or nigbt sights, i would suggest more ammo for training. My duty G17 has Trijicon HDs and my off duty G19 has Ameriglos. I actually prefer the Ameriglos.
That being said I think people put too much thought into sights. During force of force simunituon training I rarely actually get a good proper sight picture. I almost always get a stress sight picture and don't have time to actually use my sights. This is why repetition is so incredibly important. You really shouldn't "need" to use your sights at MOST self defense distances. Night sights are cheap insurance however and I would like to be prepared for as many situations as reasonably possible so I always put them on my serious use guns. I can only remember getting a proper sight picture once during force on force training and that was to make a headshot during a hostage scenario. That's just my opinion however so take it for what it's worth. I would always recommend a good set of night sights but I wouldn't feel unprepared if I didn't have them. YMMV and I'm no expert... Just my opinion. |

Have you tried using your WML outdoors with your FO sights illuminating a target at 25 yards in low light? In my experience FO's can grab enough light to illuminate when you are lighting something up further down range. Personally I don't care for FO sights, they are too fragile for their intended purpose and they require ambient light or spill from a WML to function.

I guess it depends on how much contrast there is to the lighting.
I know that covering a porch and front door from a shadow made the tritium very advantageous. That was in outdoor low light, which is the most difficult condition I've encountered due to the constantly varying intensity and direction of light and shadow. The white light is not always necessary or effective, but the sights are not always visible. I think 3 dot night sights are the most versatile sights you can put on a handgun. Tritium front only is very popular but not offer much more benefit than point shooting in situations where night sights are beneficial. No light conditions are the easiest to deal with as the WML makes a nice hot spot to contrast the sights against. I've used solid black and fiber optic fronts in low light and they're fine. |
