The TruGlo TG131K transforms target acquisition on Kimber 1911 pistols with bright fiber optic technology that gathers ambient light for enhanced visibility. This sight set replaces factory sights with a proven red front/green rear configuration that accelerates sight alignment in varying light conditions.
What Makes This Different
Fiber optic rods collect and concentrate available light, creating a bright aiming point that outperforms traditional white dot sights in low-light scenarios. The contrasting red front and green rear sight combination follows established sight picture principles, allowing shooters to quickly distinguish between front and rear elements. Unlike tritium night sights that fade over time, fiber optic technology maintains consistent brightness as long as ambient light is present.
Key Features
- Red fiber optic front sight with protective steel sleeve
- Green fiber optic rear sight for optimal color contrast
- Machined steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Direct replacement for factory Kimber 1911 sights
- Standard dovetail mounting system
- Precision-fit sight picture with proper height alignment
- Weather-sealed fiber optic rods resist moisture intrusion
Range performance shows measurable improvement in target acquisition speed compared to standard three-dot configurations. The high-contrast sight picture proves particularly effective during competitive shooting stages with varied lighting conditions. Steel construction withstands repeated slide cycling and holster wear while maintaining zero retention. The sight set functions reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 150°F without fiber degradation.
