I've been looking at CZ-75's, and will probably buy one soon. One store has one with pale green dots on the sights. Are these probably night sights, with tritium to make them glow?

If so, is there any radioactivity health threat? I'm guessing not, or they couldn't be sold in the USA.

The store has this gun marked the same price as the standard CZ, with white dot (Stavenhagen style) sights. Is there usually a price difference? I doubt the clerks in this sporting goods chain store know the difference.

Thanks,

Odds are they are just the phosphurus painted sights. CZs come stock with three dot glow-in-the-dark painted dots. If you put a flashlight up to them then they will glow. These don't have any radioactive health threats. Neither do the regular tritium sights.
