Usually, when repelling a home invasion, you don’t tend to aim like a professional, more like an old Hollywood gunslinger.

Power Source
Night scopes for handguns should be Tritium based and not the battery. Tritium is a gas made of a radioactive hydrogen isotope that emits radio luminescence, but don’t be alarmed, the quantities are microscopic, contained in sealed conditions, as such, are not carcinogenic in any way.
Brightness
These luminescent dots, (Tritium) shine out during the day as well as the night, they are radioactive, so they constantly shine.
Front Sight and Rear Sight Option
If you want a Front sight, take one with a single large glowing dot, this is good for close quarters combat (CQB). Rear sights with dominant dots are a good choice for medium to long range aiming.
The 3-dot sights are the most popular; this is where one light dot on the front sight and 2 dots on the rear sight align quickly providing you with an instinctive shot.
Front Sight Circle Type
The dots come with circles too, very colorful and cheerful, just right for a kill shot. These circle encircled dots come in a plethora of sizes and colors including white, green and orange. Large circles make for easy target acquisition or for close range shooting.
Tritium Lamp Color
Tritium lamp colors also come in various choices, this is actually a personal preference, and you can choose between a number of color swatches.
There are also standard optical LED scopes, these come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and are excellent for ranging long shots.
The Bottom Line:
Tritium sights outperform on handguns for four main reasons:
- They don’t use or waste batteries, tritium gas is long lasting, up to 20 years, and does not fade during this time.
- They remain light during all hours, since tritium is a radioactive gas, it glows all the time, making it easy to see. In fact, since they glow in the day light too, it makes for a perfect solution in bright lights where it is hard to focus.
- Sighting is easy with a three dot or alignment system; a glowing sight will always outperform a line-ep and check reticle lenses for close shots. They also don’t need much adjustment, once you set the sight for medium range, you are set to go, this is after all a hand gun, not an AR-15.
- They are much cheaper than electronic optics, because they negate the need for electro-optical components that are at least 1 times as expensive to manufacture.
