R3D 2.0 Springfield Sights Overview
Our R3D 2.0 tritium sights were engineered to give you a brighter, stronger set of notch and post sights. The front sight features our signature glow dot technology, paired with a tritium vial in the center, for a vibrant, easy-to-see front sight in both bright and low light conditions. The rear sight features larger tritium vials than our standard R3D sets, making them easier to see in low-light conditions. The rear also features a serrated face and lens to reduce glare in bright lighting conditions. The Black Nitride surface finish gives enhanced corrosion resistance, making the set ideal for EDC in a sweaty or humid environment. This set requires 50% less force for installation, thanks to the lead-in edge and crush zone on the underside of the rear sight, making it ideal for DIY installation.
R3D Springfield Sights Overview
Our R3D tritium sights were our first 3-dot notch and post product. The front sight features a green or orange photoluminescent glow dot surrounding a tritium vial in the center. The combination gives you a vibrant front sight in bright light and a glowing sight in low light. The rear sight features two tritium vials for low-light indexing and has a simple, blacked-out face to contrast with the front sight. The rear sight features a wide notch, allowing for fast sight alignment and easy indexing with the front sight in any lighting condition.
Minimalist Springfield Sights Overview
Our Minimalist sights offer a traditional notch and post sight picture with a serrated non-tritium rear. The anti-glare blacked-out rear has a wide notch to help draw your eye towards the front sight. The front sight is equipped with tritium in the center, surrounded by our glow dot technology. The glow dot is photoluminescent, absorbing ambient light to provide a gentle glow in low-light conditions.
