Trijicon Fiber Optic Sights

Trijicon Fiber Optic Sights

Trijicon fiber optic sight sets have separate fitments for Glock 9mm/.40 S&W and 1911 Novak Low Cut applications. Both sets pair a red fiber optic front sight with a black, non-illuminated rear sight. The front fiber gathers ambient light, so its brightness depends on the light available around it.

These are conventional fiber optic sights, not tritium night sights. Each set has a 0.110-inch-wide front blade, a 0.125-inch square rear notch and metal sight bodies. A red fiber is fitted at the factory, and additional red and green fibers are included.

Choose the Correct Fitment

Glock Standard-Frame Models

Model GL701-C-601023 fits the Glock standard-frame models listed in its specifications, including the 17, 19, 22 and 23. Trijicon explicitly excludes MOS models. The Glock 9mm/.40 S&W designation does not mean that every pistol in either caliber uses this set.

1911 Novak Low Cut

Model CA728-C-601038 is for 1911 pistols with Novak-style low-mount dovetail cuts. It uses a different sight profile from the Glock set and is not a universal fit for all 1911 pistols. The sight-cut pattern is the important distinction, not simply the 1911 name.

Fiber Optic and Night-Sight Options

Fiber optics need ambient light and do not create a glowing dot in complete darkness. For a design that combines fiber optics with tritium, explore Trijicon DI Night Sights. Replacement components are grouped in the Trijicon sight accessories collection; select parts for the specific sight family, since conventional Fiber Sights and DI parts are not the same product range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these fiber optic sights glow in the dark?

No. The front fiber gathers available light rather than producing its own illumination. These sets do not contain the tritium illumination used in Trijicon night sights, and their rear sights are black and non-illuminated.

Which fiber colors are included?

Both CA728-C-601038 and GL701-C-601023 have a red front fiber fitted at the factory. Each set also includes one extra red fiber and one green fiber.

Does GL701-C-601023 fit Glock MOS pistols?

No. Trijicon excludes MOS models from the compatibility list for GL701-C-601023. The exact model and slide configuration matter when comparing sight sets.

Will CA728-C-601038 fit any 1911?

No. CA728-C-601038 is specified for the Novak-style low-mount dovetail pattern. Other 1911 sight cuts require a sight set with the appropriate fitment.
