How To Install Night Fision Pistol Sights

- Steve Ostrem is joined by Jacob Herman from Night Fision, who tells us about the special features of his company's sights and guides Steve through installation on a Glock® pistol. The Tritium inserts on Night Fision sights are larger than other night sights, and the gas is under 30% higher pressure (yes, Tritium is a gas!), resulting in extra bright, easier-to-acquire sight dots. The inserts are secured in the machined steel sight body by a ballistic polymer cup with fluorescent material molded right into the polymer (no paint here) to generate bright luminescent rings around the Tritium dots.

This was probably the most informative video I've found on these sights. Thank you for having Night Fission on.
Wow, that was a really good point about the white front dot to avoid confusion with the red dot. I'd never even thought of that. I always lead so much from these videos, thank you Brownells!
Love the Night Fision sights! Outstanding product and company that stands behind their product
I'm waiting for a response on a warranty for over a month now lol
I am 60+ YRS OLD/Retired LEO of 32yrs/I wear Bi-Focals.....I just ordered for my G20/10mm for hunting/hiking/backpacking/camping. I will come back and tell you what I think about this site system FOR US OLDER PEOPLE. We have different needs as our body and eye sight ages, and this is important for sight acquisition on target.
Very professional video Jacob is definitely the guy to pitch this product!
I met jacob at a tactical response sniper class. Good dude
Very informative
Ive been a. 22LR shooter for years. I finally bought an AR.
I put magpul offset pro iron sights on it while I wait for the optic I ordered in the mail
It was hard to see the front iron at the indoor range.
I tried painting the post with glow on that I had laying around, but, it doesn't stay very bright for very long.
I decided to order one of your replacement posts. Looking forward to trying it!
Will be getting a set for my G19 here in Switzerland :) Didn't know the tritium is actually coming from here.
These are very similar to Trijicon HD sights, and about $30-$40 less. I have Trijicon HD’s on at least 3 of my handguns. When they start getting dim, I’ll be checking these out!
How’s the HD? I bought a similar ameriglo and I’m not happy with them. The tritium is dim and the orange front pops but only outdoors. Indoor it’s probably worse than white.
@@whatfreedom7 - Trijicon HD’s are well worth the xtra $.
Excellent sight picture, and I love the U-notch rear..
I personally prefer the “yellow“ ring around the front tritium dot. I have the Trijicon HD sights on my GEN 1 Walther P99, Gen4 Glock 19, and my S&W 45 Shield. Fantastic
@@whatfreedom7 I had the ameriglo agent and switched to trijicon hd. I love the sight picture, and didnt care for the Ameriglo
I have a set of Night Fision on my G19 and G43. Best sights on market
I tend to agree.
Im gonna try them out ive bought nothing but trijicon but the last 2 suppressor height sets have been leaking tritium. Soo frustrating!
I want to get a set now... I need to write Santa.
Just bought my first set for my M&P M2.0 Arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to try them out. Went with the neon green front sight. Thanks for the install video.
Great video as always
Didn't file the sight per Night Fision install guide. It states you should file the bottom of the dovetail. Guess it would achieve the same result but you should at least adhere to your instructions.
Went through the comments to look for that very comment.
Just got the Night Fision Optics Ready Stealth for my new PDP compact so I can cowitness my red dot. Pumped to get them installed and try them out!
Are you saying that sight pushers are not recommend when installing sights? Then why does Brownells sell them without this recommendation?
Ordered mine for regular sight front and back for my Canik TP 9 Elite SC NIGHT FISION PERFECT DOT TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS FOR CANIK as well the Night Fision Gunsmithing Tool Kit
Are there CZcams video on how to remove the Canik factory installed sights.
Thanks!
My grandpa used radium paint, that was back in the good old days when men were men.
Got a front sight only for my walther ppq. Easy to remove the factory sight with a flat driver, but the night fision sight has the tiny hex bolt use in glocks. I don’t own or like glocks, so off I go to get a speciality tool for single use.
Searching sights for my new Glock 20 Hiking/Trail Weapon. I stumbled on this video and very surprised. I am extremely interested and may buy this sight system over Trijicon
I noticed you didn’t follow guidelines on filing the bottom due to NF recommendation or no returns or warranty if done otherwise.
Just picked up a set of suppressor height for my glock17. Glad I did.
Atleast he isn't pushing century arms hand grenades anymore. Lol
Just bought some night fision for my m&p 2.0, the rear sight slid right in with no modification and no punch
Any advice if I should return?
Looking forward to getting these in the UK thank you for the video. :)
Warren Michigan checking in
Steve O... droppin knowledge!
~Excellent presentation and instructions.
~I like a lot what I see and hear. Using 4140 Machined Steel is very nice. Very Fresh Tritium.
~I now know who makes my my next set of Night Sights for my Glock.
Wish I had watched this video before ordering my suppressor height sights.
Don't fall for the salsetalk on how bright the yellow ring is.... I got night fision stealth ready low witness to go with my Walther 4.5 pdp as a backup to my holosun 507c. Went with clear back and yellow front and when the optic is on in the daytime with high light source I'm able to really see the yellow only because of the contrast from the red optic. If I turn the optic off it's like the front yellow iron gets turned off right along with it..... It's still visible but just barley so.... Plenty enough for a prscticed user would have no issues but I would maybe worry about someone who threw the irons on and never went out for proper practice which sadly is more people than you would like to think. I don't regret my choice either.... I just wish they had some other colors or styles to chose from when it comes to their low witness series for glock/Walther.... Your only choices are like a orange/red, yellow, or clear. Would love to see blue fronts atleast since it's some of their most exspensive sets....
I'm glad you 2 enjoyed this, Lord knows I didn't.
Installed nightfision on my TX22 and front sight is very loose and flops around. Somebody help please 🙏
I have a glock 19 gen 5 mos if I by your sight I have to file them to fit
my sight broke during install while installing night fision rear sights. They wouldn't stand behind their product, i used a sight press and the rear sight cracked. @nightfision
Ever get another?
It was very Informative, and Interesting from start to finish 😁🥳🥳
Installed on my Glock 43x filed bottom as instructions states and no progress had to take very little off chanel per this video.Instruction for area to file very confusing Videos on you tube conflicting. now I can see daylight under the base of the sight used set screw to hold in place.
Same for me. Very confusing.
What type of file did they use can someone send me the link on amazon
I got the red front sight and it is no longer glowing in the dark. Had it barely a year now. I've sent several emails and I'm still waiting on a real response, it's been about a month now. Hopefully someone will see this and respond.
Any answers?
Is the ballistic polymer cup resistant to gun oils, chemicals and cleaning solvent?
Yes
Nylon punch and nylon hammer seems to move the rear sight quite easily. Isn't it too loose?
GREAT sights! But good luck getting them on an H&K P30sk.
Why
This is want I for my Beretta 92x just bought this May do you have this is need a part number ?
I really like totally black rear sights. Do they make a blacked out rear?
was this guy involved with RAS AK47 some years back ?
How’s About 1911 Colt Handgun Sights With The Staked in Style Front Sight 😎 Thanks In Advance 😊👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Do I have enough threads on the front sight post to shim up the front sight .12 of an inch?
My nylon punch broke. Removal is very difficult.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
Was that file a medium or fine grit?
So once these dovetail sights are dovetailed in, what is the secret centering them? Just a good eyeball? Try to get a ruler or caliper depth measure in there? Or, just verify/adjust at the range?
Just visually center the sight then adjust as necessary after shooting.
That's the great thing about dovetail, you have the option to adjust windage.... If you're getting them just to cowitness your optic then that's even easier.
This video is a joke I have been grinding on the bottom of my Night Fision sights for 2 hours and i am not even close to 50% to start tapping them in. They machine the ones in this video for the video. Unfortunately the ones you get will require a machinist to slide them into place. Fix your tolerances this is ridiculous
Great info thanks
Does anyone know what models sights these are? Thanks
These are the hardest to install wtf
Definitely Very hard to install
Always use Blue Loctite. 👍
Can’t wait to throw some on my gen5 glock 17
I have the orange sight on my Glock 20. In the day time the orange is quick to pick up, Unfortunately the tritium isn't bright like my Trijicon tritium sights. I bought these believing the tritium was superior to Trijicon.
So in your honest opinion the trijicon hd xr's would be the superior option to these night fision sights? I'm looking to get a set for a 43X and I'm really having a hard time making a decision
@@caleblong2918 I'm a big trijicon fan, but have not really been impressed with some of their latest products, I opted to go with Night Fision for G17, I really like them, look better than trijicon to me as well.
What angle dovetail file did you use for fitting the sight in this video?? Thanks.
I guess no answers.
Damn I wish I would have watched this before I ordered the sights. I got the yellow front and black rear to run as back up to a red dot. Should have got the black front as well dammit.
I just got mine delivered and I’m drinking tequila. I’ll do it tomorrow 😢
I bought a set in January 2023. The front sight extinguished by October,to be fair it was replaced for free but the replacement wouldn't stay in the dovetail cut. Will never but again
Will Glock 19 gen4 sights fit on Glock 30 gen4 frame????
Unfortunately since the Glock 19 is a 9mm, the sights will not work for the Glock 30 .45 acp.
Brownells, Inc. do you guys have these sights for the Glock 30 gen 4 ???? I suppose I can just go look for myself but I’m lazy and hopefully you guys respond
None for Sig?
Aloha State yes they do
No Sig?
Which model is for CZ P-01
I was looking for that too seems only p07 and p09 options 😢
What file is this?
Do you sell that file?
Question, are these sights difficult to install on stock glocks?
Not really
@@domsugar9160 bullshit
He isn’t filing it as instructed in NS install instructions
NOT ONE VIDEO FROM SAR OR NIGHT FISSION ON THE SIZE OF THE FRONT SIGHT .
IT'S NOT ONLINE IT'S NOT IN THE MANUAL
Too bad they don't make these for any of my guns.
👍👍
A pres is stedy press a punch is pounding
I just ordered a couple of pair. If I knew about the "fitting", I wouldn't have. Hope I can cancel
Be a man
@@samuelmorris3661 Too late
On a serious note most sights require you to fit them to the gun
@@samuelmorris3661 Minor fitting, yes. I saw a video of the owner and he has over sized them to fit all possible glock slides besides not warrantying them for use in a slide pusher ( I think because of the hollowing out of the bottom of the sight). I don't mind a little work. Just pass on what sounds like a more major project.
Nice bracelets lol
they sights are ok compared to trijicon but they are too low ... i have no idea who decided to make them that low for glocks at least ..
It all depends on which style of sights you choose. They are not, all the same height.
There is no "squeezing the sight" on a sight pusher. Quit spreading misinformation, sir.
Ive definitely dented my sights 🤣🤣
I heard these sights are a Bitch to install
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍❤
امير مازلت اهواك you must be lost. Wrong channel
If you read the instructions on most night sights most of them will tell you do not install them with a hammer and a punch you could break the tritium vials in the sights!!!!!
@3:13 "Tritium is a gas and it reacts with the luminescent powder inside of it..."
That... is so very wrong. Learn how your product works, dude! 🤣
Horrible sights, any sights that require fitting are garbage! Good sights are made to precision and require no fitting.
That's impossible to ask of any company.
Nice video. Except you don't show how to remove the first set of sights. So this video is basically not helpful at all.
If you're that mechanically inept to figure out how to remove them after watching a whole video on how to install them, you should take your gun to a gunsmith.
