Kimber ML11230 1911 Tritium Night Sight Set - Front & Rear Green

The Kimber ML11230 Night Sight Set transforms low-light shooting accuracy with self-illuminating tritium inserts that glow consistently for over 12 years. This precision sight system eliminates the guesswork in dawn, dusk, and indoor scenarios where standard sights fail.

What Makes This Different

Unlike painted dots or fiber optic sights that require external light sources, these tritium-powered sights maintain constant visibility in complete darkness. The ledged rear sight design provides positive tactile feedback for one-handed slide manipulation while maintaining the crisp sight picture demanded by competitive and defensive shooters. Swiss-manufactured tritium vials deliver consistent 25% brighter illumination compared to standard night sight alternatives.

Key Features

• Self-luminous green tritium inserts rated for 12+ years continuous operation
• Ledged rear sight design enables emergency one-handed slide operation
• Black outline surrounds enhance daylight contrast and sight alignment
• Precision-machined steel construction withstands repeated slide cycling
• Drop-in compatibility with standard 1911 dovetail cuts (.330" front, .495" rear)
• Low-profile design prevents snag on clothing or holster draw
• Professional installation recommended for optimal zero retention

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F without brightness degradation. The sight picture maintains 3-dot alignment for rapid target acquisition in competitive USPSA matches and defensive scenarios. Tritium brightness meets military specifications for night vision compatibility while providing sufficient illumination for precision shooting at extended ranges.
