The Kimber ML11212 1911 Slant Fixed Night Sight Set delivers reliable low-light target acquisition for serious shooters. This tritium-powered sight system transforms any compatible 1911 into a 24/7 ready platform with consistent sight picture in all lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic white dot sights, the ML11212 features self-illuminating tritium inserts that maintain visibility for up to 12 years without batteries or external power. The slanted rear sight design reduces glare while the black outline provides crisp contrast against the green tritium glow. This configuration offers faster target acquisition than standard three-dot systems by creating a clear sight picture even in complete darkness.
Key Features
- Self-illuminating green tritium inserts rated for 12+ years of continuous glow
- Slanted rear sight profile minimizes glare and snag potential
- Black outline surrounds enhance contrast and sight definition
- Fixed sight design eliminates adjustment concerns during carry
- Drop-in installation for most standard 1911 dovetails
- Machined steel construction withstands heavy recoil and impact
- Low-profile design maintains holster compatibility
These sights excel in tactical applications where lighting conditions change rapidly. Law enforcement officers appreciate the instant visibility during building searches, while competitive shooters benefit from consistent sight alignment across varying range lighting. The tritium remains visible in dawn and dusk conditions where traditional sights become difficult to distinguish. Steel construction handles the punishment of daily carry and frequent range sessions without losing zero.
