Description
This is the factory H&K answer for anyone running a suppressor or a red dot on their VP9, VP40, P30, or HK45. It's a matched elevated set built around a green tritium front dot and a serrated, matte-black rear, so you get a bright aiming point up front and a glare-free reference blade in back. That combo makes for a clean, high-contrast sight picture whether you're on the range in daylight or picking up the front dot in low light.
What the H&K Elevated Sight Set Is Built For
The whole point of the taller blades is clearance. With a front sight measuring 0.462 inches and a rear at 0.5655 inches, this set sits high enough to clear a suppressor and to co-witness through a mounted optic, so your irons stay usable if the red dot ever goes dark. It's cut from steel and finished in black, which is what you want on a sight that lives on a duty or carry gun and takes a beating from slide cycling and recoil.
Fit Notes for the H&K Tritium Iron Sights
This set is made for the standard slide cuts on the VP9, VP40, P30, and HK45 family. One thing worth flagging: it is not the right set for VP9 pistols with the factory optics cut, since those slides use a different dovetail and their own dedicated OR-height sights. If you've got an optics-ready VP9, grab the sight set made specifically for that slide instead.
Because front and rear heights are matched from the factory, you keep your point of impact where H&K intended without guessing at mismatched blade heights. Installation is a job for a sight pusher and, ideally, a gunsmith if you don't have one on the bench. Once they're seated, confirm zero at distance and you're good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this H&K iron sight set work with a red dot on my pistol?
Yes. The elevated 0.462-inch front and 0.5655-inch rear heights are built to co-witness through a mounted optic, so your irons stay usable if the red dot fails. Just confirm your specific optic and mounting plate combo lines up for the co-witness level you want, since that varies by optic housing height.
Does this set fit a VP9 with the factory optics cut?
No. This set is made for the standard non-optics-cut slides on the VP9, VP40, P30, and HK45. The optics-ready VP9 uses a different slide dovetail and its own dedicated OR-height sights, so you'll want the set made specifically for that slide.
Is the front dot really tritium, and does it need batteries?
The front is a green tritium dot, so it glows on its own with no batteries or charging required. Tritium is self-luminous, which is what gives you that low-light front reference. The serrated matte-black rear stays blacked out to cut glare and keep your eye on the front dot.
Can I install these H&K sights myself?
You can if you have a sight pusher, which is the right tool for seating steel pistol sights without marring the slide. If you're running a red dot, you may need to dismount the optic to get clearance in the pusher. If you don't have the tools, a gunsmith can knock it out quickly, and you'll want to confirm zero at distance afterward.
