Gathers Light & Illuminates for Maximum Sight Visibility In All Conditions
Tritium/Fiber Optic (TFO) technology combines the self-illuminating properties of Tritium with the light-gathering capabilities of fiber optics to ensure fast sight acquisition in any light conditions from daylight to complete darkness. Precision-machined, steel body provides excellent strength to handle the rigors of combat or competition. Low-profile design prevents holster snagging. Fits Novak Lo-Mount rear dovetail and Novak style front dovetail; rear sight includes setscrew for extra-secure installation on slide. Sold in front/rear pairs.
SPECS: Steel, matte black finish. Fiber optic/Tritium rods, green front/green rear or green front/yellow rear. Sight heights regulate with Govt. or Off/Comm models chambered in 45ACP. Fit 65degree x .495" nominal rear dovetail and 65 degree x .330 front.

Not For Caspian Commander Slide!(11/12/2016)
The Truglo web site recommends this sight set for a .45 cal Commander 4.25 inch 1911. But, I happened to purchase a stainless Caspian slide. The Caspian slide is set up to use a number of .40 cal/9mm parts instead of the .45 cal parts. It seems this applies to the sight set also. After installing this sight set, my 1911 shoots 3" high at 7 yds, 13" high at 20 yds, and is completely off the paper at 25 yds. Truglo customer service took 2 weeks to respond. So, I returned this sight set. I liked the set. But, I can't use them.
Poor Design/Workmanship(18/09/2017)
I have purchased three sets of the TFO sights. When first installed, the sights glow nicely. On two of the three sets,within 150 rounds fired, the front sight fiber-optic rod and tritium capsule ejected rearward, of course making the sights useless. Don't buy unless you like changing sights every 100, or so, rounds.
