The Troy Industries SSIGFBSFHBT02 Tritium Front Folding BattleSight delivers precision aiming capability with self-illuminating tritium inserts for HK platform rifles. This front sight combines rapid target acquisition with the durability demanded by tactical professionals and competitive shooters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fixed front sights, this folding design allows instant transition between iron sights and optics without removing hardware. The tritium insert provides continuous illumination for 12+ years without batteries or external light sources. The hardcoat anodized finish resists wear and corrosion better than standard mil-spec coatings, maintaining zero retention through thousands of rounds.
Key Features
- Self-luminous tritium insert provides 24/7 visibility without batteries
- Spring-loaded folding mechanism deploys with audible click confirmation
- Hardcoat anodized aluminum construction withstands 50,000+ fold cycles
- HK-specific mounting system ensures proper sight radius and height
- Low-profile folded position clears optic sight lines completely
- Precision-machined sight post adjustable for windage
- Matte black finish reduces glare and light reflection
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention after repeated folding and deployment cycles. The tritium insert maintains visibility in complete darkness while remaining subtle enough for daylight use. Competition shooters appreciate the quick transition capability when switching between precision and close-quarters stages. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance in adverse weather conditions including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
