Title: Well, they glow, and that's good... right?
Product review: These sights were included on my stainless 1911 out of the box, and I'm shocked at how terrible they are.Month 2: Sights rusted while my 1911 was in my backpack on a hike during a downpour. Thank goodness the pistol is stainless. A little oil and the rust cleared up.Month 7: The white paint surrounding the glass vials has chipped off. These sights have become far less effective during daylight shooting.Month 14: The glass on the rear vials has become so hazy that I can barely see the rear sights any more.I have to add that I am not a hard-core firearms user. I am licensed to carry concealed, but rarely carry the 1911 due to it's size and weight. Add in these terrible tritiums, and I think it's clear that my 1911 is not quite tuned to defend my life or someone else's until I replace these miserable sights.With so many other offerings of night-sights available today, these should be the last ones you consider.
