Glock tritium front sights

[quetza]

Hello,

I'm Quetza and I'm a mechanical engineer. I always wanted to create my own airsoft product but never came out with something sturdy and useful.

Right now I finished one of my prototypes and would like to know what is public opinion on it.

poll.

Thanks for your time.

Looks nice. I made my own too by drilling out some stock TM Glock sights and then inserting some tritium tubes off eBay (around 8 quid each I believe). Assume you're thinking of using similar tubes here too?

I would also conceal the end pointing away from the shooter. You don't want to show up as a glowing dot in the dark at some urban sites.

Long time ago but I'll see what I can do.

Hello,

I ordered them here, I think they are even cheaper:

tritium

The dot is not as bright as you may think, from 2 meter away it's almost impossible to see, specially if you choose red.

Anyway you can always put a black sticker or black blu tac, which I did for my rear sights.

Why does the Glock look so much like a rendering?

 

[proffrink]

First two and last images are renders. Other isn't.

Also I bought white tubes and set them inside white Sugru (the hole was around 3mm vs. the 1.5 of the tube) so that I can see them very clearly in normal light conditions. I would not recommend having just the tube as it won't be bright enough for most situations.

I add an image where you can see the different light levels.
