night sights
Low-light targeting aids
Night sights are firearm sights designed for low-light conditions, typically using tritium inserts or phosphorescent materials that glow in the dark.
The glowing dots allow shooters to align their aim when standard sights would be invisible: I upgraded my carry gun with night sights.
Common on defensive handguns and tactical rifles.
