[S281]

Curious, I know they are fiber optic/tritium so they glow during the day and night. How long will this glowing last? Do the fiber optic part and tritium part both wear out?

Second, when the croation's put the factory sights on at the XD factory, I assume they have some sort of aligning to make the gun dead on when shooting. When you get whomever to replace them with aftermarket sights, what process are they using to make sure your gun is still on target?

There is hash marks in te top of the slide .
The fiber wi last if you don't melt them with carb clean or other harsh chemical.
Trinum will be bright 6-12 years at six they should start to dim

has a half life of 12.3 years... keep in mind that it will dim by half in 12, then dim in half in another 12, and so on.

I ordered a set of TFO's for my Colt 1911, TG131CT on their old web page, and they lasted a negative amount of time. Somewhere after announcing them TruGlo decided not to produce them and left those of use who had ordered them hanging.

If you contact TruGlo to confirm this, they will say that they never made any sich sights, which is true enough, but they certainly advertised them.

I used to have access to an archival page with the sight options on it, but I notice that it has been deleted. I do have a HTML copy of the page that I downloaded.

Hopefully as long as you have your Saleen, unless S281 stands for something else.....
