Meprolight combat proven tritium self-illuminated night sights enable hitting stationary or moving targets under low-light conditions, with dramatically increased hit probability. Test results by marksmen and journeymen-level shooters have shown an increase of over 85% hit efficiency. Meprolight takes maximum advantage of tritium light sources. These fail-safe, maintenance-free light sources do not require an external energy source, and provide up to 15 years of usable light under all weather conditions.
The tritium night sights offer a sighting system for improved rapid instinctive aiming, which requires no transition from day to night use. Day and night, the shooter’s aiming reference is three solid dots, identical in appearance and location under all light conditions.
