The TAPCO TAP22042 tritium night sights deliver 24/7 target acquisition for Springfield Hellcat OSP pistols. These self-illuminating sights eliminate the visibility limitations of standard factory sights in low-light conditions. Professional-grade tritium inserts provide consistent illumination for up to 12 years without batteries or external power sources.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic white dot sights, the TAP22042 features genuine Swiss tritium vials that glow continuously in darkness. The three-dot configuration creates an intuitive sight picture that speeds target acquisition compared to single-dot alternatives. Each sight housing is precision-machined from steel rather than polymer, ensuring zero shift under recoil stress. The orange outline enhances daylight visibility while tritium cores handle night operations.
Key Features
- Swiss tritium inserts rated for 12-year illumination lifespan
- Steel construction withstands repeated slide cycling and holster wear
- Orange outline rings for enhanced daylight contrast and speed
- Direct drop-in replacement for Hellcat OSP factory sights
- Three-dot configuration maintains familiar sight alignment
- Snag-resistant profile prevents clothing or gear interference
- Drift-adjustable rear sight for windage corrections
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F. The tritium illumination requires no activation and maintains brightness regardless of weather conditions. Competition shooters benefit from faster sight acquisition during stage transitions, while duty officers gain reliable low-light capabilities. The steel construction handles thousands of draw cycles without loosening or shifting zero.
