Is this the tritium sight? The picture doesn't show the two green dots that should be on either side of the apeture

Yes, this is the Tritium sight (see product name). The picture is taken from the Front of the sight, not the side that you actually look through. The rear of the sight has the two tritium dots on either side of the aperture.

Although you cannot spot them in the photo shown you can see them if you go to Troy's Web Site. They are not as visible as you may think in the daylight. The front tritium site is more visible to me even with some day light but the rear sights are at their best in near complete darkness. If it says Tritium it is. They are a very good sight. Excellent.

yes it is. The pic is showing the front so they cant bee seen in the pic. great sights

If it is listed as Tritium, it is. Flip it up and it is on the smaller aperture only.

I got the same issue (black dot at the top right corner). I returned it and got the damn problem again, but this time it is at the bottom right corner. Grrrrr...

It is a screw in sight post so screw it in with a little bit of loctite on it and you are good to go. Be careful not to break your tritium sight though might wanna use a rag to cushion your tool while tightening.

If you are asking about the actually glow of the sights as the other users have said it glows a bright green. The yellow and orange is only in reference to the dot on the front sight.

We have installed the fiber optic front sigh posts before with no issues, but have not yet tried the tritium posts by Trijicon. There should be no issue if they are truly A2 spec.

Yes, has two dots that glow! I have other sights an these are some of the best out there

Yes but I think you need the 5 point sight tool to get it in without scratching it as the tip with the tritium rotates independently from the screw.

I don't know what sight "gl-112" is. If it's a Tritium sight, you should be able to see it in the dark for the next 10+ years.

Any site with a Tritium insert (ACOGS, this one etc.) will be night vision compatible as the night vision is picking up the "glow" from the insert.

focus on the target, not the dot. it should be clear then. if not, send it back for a replacement.

Yes, well half and half. The front sight has a tritium insert that does glow in low light. The rear sight line is just white and does not glow. There is not enough room in the smaller XS sight systems to accommodate a tritium insert in the rear sight. Hence my saying half and half, but ultimately yes as the front sight is the most important at self-defense ranges.

The Orange dot on the front sight is for day time use. If you look closely you'll see the both front and back sights "glow" green in the dark.

It looks like you are correct. For sure the tempeatures are reversed. I never noticed it. Good eyes!

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, and it does not glow in the dark. As it decays slowly into helium, it emits electrons (called beta decay). The inside of the tiny vial in the sight is coated with a phosphor. When the tritium electrons hit the phosphor, the phosphor emits the light; this is called fluorescence. Some extra info: There are many phosphors, but none of them contain phosphorus. They contain various elements such as zinc, copper, sulfur, etc. Different combinations emit different colored light. The tritium has a half-life of about 13 years. Therefore, after 13 years, only half of the tritium in the gun sight will remain. This does not necessarily mean that the sight will be only appear half as bright to your eyes in total darkness; it is possible that it will seem nearly as bright as when you bought it. I can better answer this in 13 years. Sorry for the long answer.

Well I don't think it's on the display side because we would see it.......just checked, it's on the bottom of the toaster and runs underneath the toaster towards the back....

Hi KC,Sorry l gave you the wrong scope info for one of my three ones. The one you are asking about has top, left and right mil-dots. I would send a picture but don't know how. Sorry about that. It is a great scope.
