The Rival Arms RA2A231G Night Sights deliver enhanced low-light accuracy for Glock 42, 43, and 48 pistols through self-illuminating tritium inserts and high-contrast sight picture. These precision-machined sights replace factory plastic sights with durable steel construction and 12-year tritium guarantee.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard Glock sights, the RA2A231G features genuine Swiss tritium vials that maintain consistent brightness for over a decade without batteries or external light sources. The orange front sight outline creates rapid target acquisition in daylight conditions, while the black rear sight outline eliminates distracting elements during precision shooting. CNC-machined from bar stock steel, these sights withstand impacts that would crack polymer factory sights.
Key Features
- Green tritium inserts provide 12-year guaranteed illumination in complete darkness
- Orange front sight outline enhances daylight visibility and target acquisition speed
- Black rear sight outline reduces visual clutter for precise sight alignment
- CNC-machined steel construction resists impact damage and maintains zero
- Drop-in replacement for factory Glock sights on G42/G43/G48 models

- Serrated rear face eliminates glare from ambient lighting
Field testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact accuracy across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The tritium maintains full brightness in total darkness while the contrasting outlines provide clear sight picture in bright sunlight conditions. Law enforcement agencies report improved qualification scores when officers transition from factory plastic sights to these steel night sights.
