Night Fision sells pistol night sights on one bold claim: more tritium and a sharper dot than the other guys. Its Perfect Dot sets are the flagship, and the Optics Ready Stealth line gives you iron sights that work with a red dot. It also has an unusual family tie to the company that makes the US Army’s tritium compass. Here is who they are, what they make, and what is worth buying.

Who Night Fision is

Night Fision is a Metro Detroit night sight company launched in mid-2017 by cousins Alex and CJ Karchon. It sells US-built tritium pistol sights, including Perfect Dot and Optics Ready Stealth sets, and it’s based in Dearborn, Michigan.

The company’s founders page has the detail I find most interesting. Its sister company is Cammenga, the official maker of the US Army’s tritium lensatic compass. So this wasn’t two guys guessing at how to source tritium. Recoil reported from a trade show that the company’s volume is how it says it can pack in 30% more than rivals.

In January 2025, Night Fision announced that its team was acquiring Zaffiri Precision, the Largo, Florida slide and barrel maker. That takes the group well beyond sights, though Zaffiri still sells under its own name.

On price, this is the middle to upper part of the night sight market. A Perfect Dot set started at $68.85 on October 31 and ran to $105.30. That isn’t budget money, but it’s a small bill compared with the pistol it goes on.

What Night Fision makes

Perfect Dot night sights

This is the line that made the brand. The tritium vial sits inside a colored ring, and a slightly domed lens is there to make the dot look crisp. The ring uses pigment instead of paint, which Night Fision says holds up better against chips. You choose a white, yellow or orange front and a U or square-notch rear. There are front-only sights too, from $44.15 for a Glock.

Optics Ready Stealth

A red dot sits in the way of normal sights, so this line is built tall enough to show through the window. You’ll want the exact set for your pistol and optic cut, because listings differ by footprint. Glock sets include versions for RMR and Holosun 507C or 508T cuts, plus RMRcc on the 43 and 43X. A Glock set started at $74.42 at Optics Planet.

Accur8

Accur8 uses a ring on the front and a single dot on the rear, so you’re lining up two shapes rather than three dots. I think that’s a real help for people who find three-dot sights hard to read fast. Glock 17/19/34 sets were $99 in our feed.

Suppressor-height, fiber optic and other pistols

There are also taller suppressor-height Perfect Dot sets, standard-height fiber optic sets for daylight use, and sights for other pistols. Sets cover popular guns from the Glock family to Sig P320 and P365, Walther PDP and PPQ, S&W M&P and 1911s. With 533 sight rows in our parts feed alone, the hard part is finding the right SKU.

Build quality and where it’s made

Night Fision says all its products are built in the US. Athlon Outdoors describes them as US-built with steel bodies and Swiss tritium, and it repeats the 30% claim. That figure and the “world’s brightest” pitch come from the company. I haven’t seen independent lab testing that settles it, and Recoil itself called the claim bold. Treat “brighter” as a good reason to try one, not as a proven result.

Night Fision’s limited lifetime warranty covers the original owner, and green and yellow vials are warranted to stay lit for 16 years from manufacture. Other colors get five years. The policy is written around direct purchases, so read it and ask your retailer what cover comes with a set bought there. Tritium products also fall under NRC rules, so you’re not allowed to take them apart.

How Night Fision compares

Trijicon is the established default, with a longer record and wider dealer support. Night Fision’s pitch is a sharper-looking dot with a ring that resists chipping. XS Sights takes a different approach, and an XS Minimalist tritium set was $69.99 at KYGUNCO, right around Night Fision’s lowest Perfect Dot price. AmeriGlo covers cheaper fiber options, with one set from $30.91.

If you want the safest name, I’d still look at Trijicon first. If you want a lot of ring colors and exact red dot fits at a fair price, Night Fision is easier to recommend. Its optics-height sets are its strongest argument, because a good fit there matters more than a small brightness difference.

Who should buy what

• Iron-sight carry gun: a Perfect Dot set with an orange or yellow front.
• Red dot pistol: Optics Ready Stealth, matched to the pistol and cut.
• Shooter who struggles with three dots: Accur8.
• Suppressor host: a suppressor-height Perfect Dot set.
• Daylight range gun: a fiber optic set costs less and glows brighter by day.

If you want a proven budget choice, look at AmeriGlo or an XS set first.

The Night Fision design philosophy

Night Fision started from a narrow question: how do you make a dot look sharper and stay visible? The ring, the lens and the tritium claim all point there. Later came optic-height sets, once red dots changed what pistol owners needed. I like how focused that is, even if the marketing is louder than the evidence.

How to choose your Night Fision setup

First, find your exact pistol generation and optic cut. Sight fit varies between models, and a listing for “Glock” doesn’t always cover every Glock. New Gen 6 and V-series owners should confirm fit with Night Fision before ordering. Next, pick a front color. Orange and yellow stand out by day, and white is more subdued.

Then decide on vial color, since green and yellow get the 16-year warranty and other colors get five. Plan on a sight pusher or a gunsmith for the rear, unless you own the tools. After install, check your zero at a real range, because a new rear can move your point of impact. Tritium also dims over time, so note the date of manufacture on a sight you’re relying on.

How long Night Fision sights stay bright

Most Night Fision reviews we read stop at “it glows.” They’re also short, and several were written around sample sets the company sent out. The question they skip is what happens in year ten. Tritium has a half-life of about 12.3 years, according to the EPA, so half of it has decayed by then, no matter who filled the vial. That’s true of Trijicon, AmeriGlo, XS and Meprolight too. Nobody’s sight is exempt.

Run the sum and a vial has about 75% of its tritium at the five-year mark and about 41% at 16 years. Glow doesn’t track those numbers perfectly, since the vial and its phosphor coating matter too, but the direction is fixed. So buy by the date of manufacture, not the date on your receipt, and replace a carry sight when you can’t pick up the dot quickly in a dark room.

From an Army compass to your carry gun

Tritium isn’t a normal thing to sell, and that’s why the Cammenga link is more than trivia. Few small companies get to start with a sister company already working with the material for a military contract. Eight years later, the same cousins’ brand has a slide maker alongside it. The real test is still the same: can you see the dot when the light goes?
