Heh… I wonder how my employer would react if I stuck my Glock on the window sill before sundown in order to “recharge” the night sights. I agree it’s a plus, but it’s a really really weak plus

I bought a set of SureSights a year or so ago (when they were first released) for my Springfield XD45. For my fifty-five year old eyes, they work GREAT and they won’t be coming off anytime soon.

Who cares if it’s glow-in-the-dark paint. They’re not designed to be “night vision” sights. The fact hat they retain a glow for a half hour or so after sunset is a plus, IMO, not a detraction.

Needs to be tritium. That will cost more than $89.

Here’s a Self Luminous Exit Sign The glowing part is made of tritiated polyethylene plastic. I’ve always wanted to hack one of these apart and use the plastic for something. Although I’m willing to bet that the plastic isn’t as bright at one of those dots, Because it’s nice and big it might work out fine. I’d imagine you might be able to make a few sights out of one $169.00 sign.

tritium is a very weak beta emitter, I doubt if anything significant gets outside of the plastic that it is encased within.

The rear sight looks indentical to my Steyr 9mm Mannlicher pistol but the front is slightly different. I bought that gun because of the cool sights (probably a sign I have too many guns) but it does shoot very well and the sights are easy to use.

The sights run $89 + shipping (total about $100). I’ve pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Unfortunately they still seem to be having production problems, as they sent out a notice at the end of last month stating that delivery had been pushed six or eight weeks further out. I responded “take the time you need to do it right!”

I don’t think they’ll object if I post this here…

Any idea on price? They’re all sold out right now, but I’d seriously like to get something like that for my Glock. The standard Glock sights are good for knowing which end of the gun you’re holding, but that’s about it

Looks nice on paper, wonder how it works in real life?
