Description
Trijicon designed the HD Night Sight set to solve a real problem: your front sight getting lost in low light or busy backgrounds. The front sight uses a green tritium lamp ringed by a bright orange photoluminescent outline, so your eye snaps to it immediately whether you're on the range at high noon or clearing a dark hallway. The taller front blade and the blacked-out rear with its wide U-shaped notch work together to speed up sight alignment, letting your focus stay where it belongs.
What Sets These Glock HD Sights Apart
The green tritium is the star here. It's self-illuminating and needs no batteries or charging, glowing on its own in total darkness and backed by a 12-year warranty from date of manufacture. The rear sight also gets a steeply hooked front face, which gives you a hard edge to catch on a belt, holster, or boot heel if you ever need to rack the slide one-handed. These are real steel sights too, a solid upgrade over the polymer factory sights that ship on most Glocks.
Fitment for Standard-Frame Glocks
This GL101O set covers a long list of standard-frame models across Gen 1 through Gen 5, including the 17, 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39. Note that this standard HD set is not cut for the MOS optic-ready platform, so double-check your slide before ordering.
Installation is straightforward but does call for the right tools. The front sight uses a small retaining screw that takes a Glock front sight nut driver, and the rear seats into the dovetail, where a proper sight pusher makes the job clean and easy. Plenty of folks tackle this at home, though a gunsmith can knock it out in minutes if you'd rather leave it to the pros. Once they're on, you've got a fast, rugged sight picture that holds up to serious carry and range time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Trijicon HD Night Sights fit my Glock?
This GL101O set fits standard-frame Glocks across Gen 1 through Gen 5, including the 17, 17L, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39. It is not cut for the MOS optic-ready platform, so verify your slide type before installing. The slim-frame models like the 42, 43, 43X, and 48 use a different sight set.
Do the tritium sights need batteries?
No. The green tritium lamps are self-illuminating and glow on their own in the dark without any batteries or charging. Trijicon backs the tritium with a 12-year warranty from the date of manufacture, so you get years of reliable low-light visibility.
What tools do I need to install these sights?
The front sight uses a small retaining screw that takes a Glock front sight nut driver, and the rear seats into the dovetail using a sight pusher. Trijicon makes a dedicated Glock installation tool kit that handles both, though these tools are sold separately. Many owners install them at home, but a gunsmith can do it quickly if you'd prefer.
Why the orange front outline instead of white or yellow?
The orange photoluminescent ring around the front tritium lamp draws your eye to the front sight fast, especially in transitional or low light. Orange stands out well against most backgrounds and target colors. Trijicon also offers this same HD set with a yellow front outline if you prefer that contrast.
