Trijicon releases 22 new night sight configurations across HD and HD XR lines
Trijicon is expanding its iron sight catalog with 22 new SKUs targeting the most popular concealed carry and duty platforms. The expansion covers Glock 43X MOS, Glock 48 MOS, additional Glock MOS variants, Smith & Wesson M&P, M&P M2.0, M&P CORE, and M&P Bodyguard models.
The new offerings span both the HD (Hybrid Dot) and HD XR (Hybrid Dot XR) night sight families. HD XR models feature an larger amber dot and tritium ring for faster target acquisition in low-light conditions. HD versions maintain the original design with a smaller, sharper dot for precision aiming.
The Glock 43X MOS and 48 MOS additions address the carrier segment that's made these single-stack compacts bestsellers. Both pistols accept milled slides, making them prime candidates for aftermarket sight systems. The MOS cuts accommodate various optics footprints, and Trijicon's new night sights pair with those platforms seamlessly in both standard and XR configurations.
Smith & Wesson platform expansion covers the M&P 9mm and .40 S&W lineups, including second-generation M2.0 variants and the purpose-built CORE model. The Bodyguard additions serve the ultra-compact pocket carrier market. These configurations address gaps in Trijicon's current M&P sight availability.
Why It Matters for Gun Owners
Carry gun owners depend on sights they trust in darkness. Factory plastic sights fail. Night sights with tritium and fiber optics give shooters confidence that their aiming system works when ambient light disappears.
The Glock 43X and 48 MOS models have become dominant choices for concealed carry because they balance capacity, shootability, and concealability. Trijicon's expansion directly addresses this market reality. Carriers who prioritize these guns now have factory-backed night sight options without resorting to obscure brands or delayed shipping.
For S&W M&P users—a massive segment in both law enforcement and civilian carry—these new SKUs eliminate the old problem of limited sight choices. The M&P remains one of America's most common service pistols. More configuration options mean better fits for different shooter preferences and optics combinations.
The HD XR variant inclusion matters too. Faster low-light target acquisition translates directly to shooting performance. The larger amber dot reduces the transition time between sight picture acquisition and threat engagement when you're drawing in darkness or indoors.
Background
Trijicon has dominated night sight manufacturing for two decades. The company pioneered tritium/fiber optic hybrid designs and maintains the gold standard for reliability. Their products ship with a 12-year tritium warranty.
The HD line launched to capture shooters wanting faster target acquisition than traditional three-dot designs. The XR variant followed, addressing feedback from users who wanted even larger dots without sacrificing precision. Both lines have proven popular across tactical, duty, and concealed carry communities.
This expansion represents Trijicon's effort to blanket the most popular modern platforms. Rather than waiting for manufacturers to release new models, Trijicon is pre-positioning inventory and SKU variety where demand concentrates.
DownRange Bottom Line
If you carry a Glock 43X, 48, or Smith & Wesson M&P, you've just gained legitimate night sight options from the manufacturer that set the standard. No more waiting, no more compromises. Check your local dealer or Trijicon's website for availability on your specific platform and configuration.
Night sights aren't optional gear for serious carriers. These additions raise the baseline for how many shooters can access quality low-light aiming solutions.
