Description
Hi-Viz took a different swing at the whole iron sight versus red dot debate with the FASTDOT H3, and the result is genuinely clever. Instead of the usual notch-and-post you grew up on, this set uses a circle-within-a-circle system. The front sight glows red from a fiber-optic and tritium rod, while the rear is a single green tritium tube mounted dead center. When your gun is lined up correctly, the red front dot tucks behind the green rear tube and disappears, leaving you one bright green circle to aim with. If you see red peeking out on any side, you know you're off. Simple as that.
Why the FASTDOT H3 Feels Faster Out of the Holster
Speed is the whole point here. Rather than hunting for a front post and centering it in a rear notch, your eye only has to find one thing: a single dot. That's a lot like running a pistol red dot, but without a battery to die on you or an optic riding high on your slide. Folks new to handguns tend to pick it up quick since there's nothing to unlearn, and experienced hands used to traditional irons usually just need a little range time to trust the system. The trick is bringing the gun up to eye level and letting the dots fall into place instead of squinting things into perfect alignment.
Built for Glock MOS and Built to Take a Beating
This set is all-steel construction, so it holds up to hard use whether it's carry, duty, or a heavy range schedule. It installs at factory sight height and keeps a low profile, which means your existing holsters should still work just fine. It's cut for all-generation Glock MOS models chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig.
Round-the-Clock Illumination on the FASTDOT H3
The fiber-optic pulls in daylight for a bright red front in the sun, and the encapsulated tritium takes over when the lights drop, giving you 24-hour visibility without flipping a switch. Hi-Viz backs the tritium with a 12-year warranty against total loss of illumination, so you're covered for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the FASTDOT H3 sight picture actually work?
Instead of a traditional notch and post, the FASTDOT H3 uses a circle-within-a-circle setup. When the pistol is aligned correctly, the red front dot disappears behind the green rear tube and you're left aiming with a single green circle. If you can see red on any side of the green, you know you're not lined up yet.
Will the FASTDOT H3 fit my Glock MOS pistol?
This set is designed for all-generation Glock MOS models chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig. It installs at factory sight height, so it drops right into the standard sight dovetails. If you have an MOS-cut Glock in one of those calibers, you're good to go.
Do I need batteries for the FASTDOT H3?
No batteries needed at all. The front sight uses fiber-optic that gathers ambient light for a bright red dot during the day, and encapsulated tritium provides the glow in low light and darkness. That gives you round-the-clock illumination without ever charging or swapping anything.
Is there a learning curve coming from regular iron sights?
There can be a short adjustment period if you're used to a standard three-dot or notch-and-post setup, since your brain has to get comfortable with the single-dot alignment. Most people find it clicks pretty quickly once they stop overthinking it and just bring the gun up to eye level. Newer shooters often pick it up right away since there's nothing to unlearn.
