shabodah Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Too bad they don't put the tritium under the fiber optics instead of behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Where did you get that info? The TFO's we just got in from TruGlo are the same as they have always been. The tritium tube dictates the need to be wide enough (Dawson can fit it in a .125 wide sight) to have the tube fit it in. Also it is "extra" long so the fiber fits in it and reduces the sight radius quite a bit. They don't work on the 5.25's either. I had a set on a gun many years ago and ditched them because they were so fat they covered a plate out at distance...a buddy of mine just put a set on his Glock and it seemed much, mich skinnier....Maybe the sight they were set in was fat on mine?????? Trying to remember....I swear the tritium portion was around the fiber, not behind it..that would make it fatter Edited October 14, 2012 by waynes_world_45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tritium vial sits behind the fiber optic tube and they glue the fiber optic in. I don't know how they would put it around the fiber optic tube. The non Tritium version (Brite Site) are smaller in size, and we've seen more than a few people think they bought TFO's (online) cheap to find out they were not TFO's but the Brite Site.

Xander Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 This one .225 tall Can this fit the XDM 4.5 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannparks Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I'll agree that the frt sight is a tad to wide, but my problem is the frt sight is to tall. I have my rear all the way up and just shoots ctr of mass. Charles Edited November 10, 2014 by mannparks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
