Tritium - How is it being placed on the sights? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

How is the tritium being placed on the Sure Sights - as dots or lines? How many? Will it be just one dot on the front sight?

I ask because I have an older pistol that has tritium sights that took the vial and laid it on its side, rather than its end. Its a pretty neat set up that way.

I want to buy a set of these sights, but only with the tritium. Any info or pictures/diagrams would be appreciated. Thanks.

I plan on ordering when they get back in stock but I'd like to know how they look first.

I emailed Suresight about a week ago just asking if they were still ontime with the mid June estimate, but had not received a reply yet. No information sure makes you nervous about your $150!!!!!! Update please Suresight..........

the last time i emailed them, about a month ago, it took about 18 days before i received an answer.
they really need to get this up and running so that we could all buy sights when we want like all the other major sight company's offer.
thats the only way its ever going to be a success, imho.

Sorry for the delay and email backlog, guys.

As for how the tritium is to be arranged, have a look here: Sure Sight - The Newest Idea in Accurate Shooting

We've got a night time sight picture that largely mimics the daytime picture, and it also capitalizes on the Gestalt Principles, by having the shooter form a dotted arrow for a sight picture.

Thanks, just what I needed to see. I'm in. My order was placed this morning.

Now my only issue will be that I know my wife will want a set for her pistol as well. I'll have to figure out what to do with the Heinie tritium sights that I'll have to pull off of her XD. Oh well, not a bad problem to have as far as problems go!

Leibster · 06-03-2008, 04:10 PM

Thanks for your order!

And yes, having to figure out what to do with excess shooting gear is almost always a good problem to have!
