Trijicon Bright & Tough Sights

Explore Trijicon Bright & Tough sights for a variety of pistol and rifle platforms. The range includes complete sets and front-sight options, with tritium and non-tritium configurations identified individually. Compare the exact pistol or rifle application, lamp color, and sight configuration before choosing a model.

Three-Dot Night Sights and Non-Tritium Options

Bright & Tough pistol night sights combine tritium lamps with a traditional three-dot layout. The green-lamp pistol sets in this collection have white outlines around both the front and rear lamps, plus a square rear notch. Tritium supplies illumination without batteries; the white outlines are separate visual features, not the illumination source.

The GL05 is different: it is a steel Glock sight set with three white dots and no tritium. It does not self-illuminate in darkness. For tritium-equipped Glock sights, compare the GL01 standard-frame, GL04 large-frame, and GL13-C-600777 small-frame configurations against their individual fitment lists.

Match the Exact Pistol Configuration

Model names alone do not tell the whole story. Colt CA01 and CA02 sets use different front tangs: 0.125 inch and 0.055 inch, respectively. H&K USP and USP Compact pistols use separate HK06 and HK08 sets. The SIG Sauer SG01 is a #8 front/#8 rear combination for compatible 9mm and .357 SIG applications, not a universal set for every pistol in those calibers.

Other useful distinctions include the BE13 for Beretta 92A1/96A1, CZ02 for the CZ 75 dovetail-front configuration, and RA14 for the listed Ruger SR models. The SA39-C-600714 covers specified Shield, Shield Plus, and Shield M2.0 pistols but excludes Shield EZ. Springfield SP01 excludes XD-S OSP, and Desert Eagle DE01 excludes U.S.-made barrels with an eight-slot accessory rail.

AR-15/M16 Front Sights and Complete Sets

The CP25 family uses a front post and rear aperture rather than pistol-style sights. CP25 has green front and rear lamps. CP25O pairs a green front lamp with orange rear lamps; orange describes the tritium color, not a painted outline. CP25F is the front-only option and does not include a rear sight. All three include the CP25F-TOOL, and Trijicon recommends professional installation.

Compare Related Trijicon Sight Families

For a colored front outline and a U-notch rear, compare Trijicon HD night sights. The HD XR family offers a thinner front post. When additional height is required for an optic or suppressor, review the application-specific suppressor-height sights. Fitment and clearance still depend on the exact sight model and firearm configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all Bright & Tough sights contain tritium?

No. The GL05 Glock set uses white dots without tritium and is not a night sight set. The tritium-equipped models identify their front and rear lamp colors separately. CP25F contains a front lamp only because it is a front-only sight.

Are orange rear lamps the same as orange outlines?

No. On CP25O, the rear tritium lamps illuminate orange while the front lamp illuminates green. The front and rear surfaces are black. That is different from a sight with colored paint surrounding a green tritium lamp.

Does MOS compatibility guarantee a view through a red dot?

No. A sight’s listed slide compatibility does not guarantee enough height to be visible through a mounted optic. Match the sight model, slide, optic, and mounting configuration, and compare the appropriate taller sight family when needed.

How do I distinguish the two Colt tang sizes?

CA01 uses a 0.125-inch front tang, while CA02 uses a 0.055-inch front tang. The tang measurement is different from the width or height of the front blade. Have a qualified professional confirm the pistol’s existing sight configuration before selecting either set.

Are these front-only sights or complete sets?

The pistol models described here include front and rear sights. CP25 and CP25O include an AR-15/M16 front sight and rear aperture. CP25F includes the front sight only. Check the individual model’s included components rather than assuming every Bright & Tough product contains the same parts.
