Tritium sight
Tritium sight
I'm looking for a tritium sight package for my Remington 1100 (not the tactical version - has a vented rib barrel) because I hate the forward bead sight. I want something that'll give me better target acquisition. Any suggestions? (preferably without having to drill and tap the receiver)

Eh? What do you mean?
This is in the gun forum. I don't get what you mean.

Yep. You are right. But Dev is right actually. The place is turning to shit.
Re: Tritium sight
Um.. ok?
I thought it'd be ok to ask for some advice in the gun forum regarding some gun related stuff, but apparently it's somehow 'turning [rationalia] to shit'. That does not compute.

Actually, this sort of post is only a harmless discussion of technical gun matters, which even I find mildly interesting. It's not a rant about how Obama is draining the precious bodily fluids of all NRA members...
Tritium is radioactive, Faku. Don't lick your new gun sight...

Try a holographic or red-dot sight instead, or just a fluorescent plastic front bead if you're having trouble seeing the brass bead.
The bead sight is the best for skeet, trap, clays and bird shooting. Tactically, not so much but then you use shotguns at short range anyway and you should be able to instinct-shoot with some practice.
There are top-mount picatinny rail setups that consist of a u-shaped metal sleeve that drops over the receiver and is held in place by extended push-pins that work well. You don't have to change the firearm or drill it.

Re: Tritium sight
Not to worry, it's encapsulated. You could eat it and not be harmed. I can't even get my AN/VDR-2 to perk up when I hold the detector close to the tritium sights on my pistol.JimC wrote:Rum, just switch the gun club off...Rum wrote:Yep. You are right.

Re: Tritium sight
I've seen the receiver mount type - they're just as you describe. The two pins that hold the trigger assembly in hold the rail. The problem is the bead is dull steel and not that great in low light in, say, moderately dense forest when I'm hunting partridge or quail. I haven't missed yet, but still. Also tritium just looks cool.

Re: Tritium sight
Seth is right, tritium is just for night shooting. I have them on a couple of my pistols. They are useless for daytime.Făkünamę wrote:I'm looking for a tritium sight package for my Remington 1100 (not the tactical version - has a vented rib barrel) because I hate the forward bead sight.

I'd suggest a fiber optic sight that will soak up sun light and "glow" really bright in the day. There's many colors/types.
