The Trijicon HD XR Night Sights represent an evolution in sight technology, designed for the discerning shooter who demands precision and clarity. Building on the robust features of its predecessor, these night sights take target identification and engagement to a new level.
At the core of this advancement is a thinner front sight post measuring just 0.122 inches. This may seem like a minor detail, but it offers a significant advantage: an expanded field of view. Such enhancement allows shooters not only to identify targets with greater ease but also to expedite engagements efficiently at extended distances.
The three-dot configuration is powered by green tritium lamps that are warranted for twelve years from manufacture. The front sight boasts a taller blade encircled with photoluminescent paint, ensuring rapid acquisition even under transitional lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the rear sight features a black outline with a wider U-shaped notch that complements swift target alignment.
A notable design feature is the steeply hooked front surface of the rear sight—an intentional choice facilitating emergency one-handed slide operation when circumstances demand it.
It’s important to note that while these sights excel in their domain, they are not compatible with Glock's MOS pistol platform; instead, Trijicon recommends using their Bright & Tough Suppressor Height Sights for such models.
Crafted specifically for tactical shooters yet accessible enough for any firearm enthusiast seeking enhanced performance in low-light situations, these sights exemplify what modern-day advancements can achieve when tradition meets innovation.
