Tritium night sights for revolvers

[P. Plainsman]

Don't seem to be many options out there for self-illuminating night sights on wheelguns. Lots of light-magnifying tube sights like the Hi-Viz, but not light-emitting sights, which, one would think, is what you really want when things go bump.

This seems like a market oversight, given how popular tritium sights are on autoloaders, and how many people rely on revolvers for home defense. I'd buy a set of 3-dot tritiums for my GP100 in a flash (no pun intended).

Only option I'm aware of, actually, is Trijicon's tritium one-dot sight for the Ruger SP101. It's a front sight only, instead of the usual 3-dot picture. That's good, but there should be way more options. Perhaps there are.

What am I missing?

Meprolight shows a listing for an adjustable set for the GP-100 at:

Express Sights (formerly Ashley Outdoors) also lists a sight set at:

In looking at Trijicon I see only the front tritium sight now but maybe in times past (could be wrong as my memory is going) that they may have offered a set of sights, too. In fact in looking at the Trijicon brochure online it states there is an RR10 Adjustable sight set for the GP-100. They also offer adjustable sights for the Redhawk and Security Six in the Ruger line and offer sights for the Python.

In addition, Trijicon offers a coupon to install 3 dot tritiums in FIXED sight GP-100s.

Superb. Glad to learn I was mistaken. Anyone sell the Meprolight tritium revolver sights online?

EDIT: Never mind.

There are some folks who will put tritium tubes in J frames. Of course, I didn't save the URL.

The folks on the smith-wesson forum probably know.

I have the Meprolights on my GP-100 and I really like them. The lamps are as bright as any I've seen, and they have a white outline for a high-visibility 3-dot sight picture during the day. Installation wasn't difficult, requiring a punch and a screwdriver if I remember right.

I got mine from Arizona Gun Runners.
