Description

Truglo’s TFX sights (part no. TG13RS3A) are built for Ruger American pistols. They combine Swiss tritium with fiber optics in a single sight picture, so the front sight stays bright under a fiber-optic glow by day and the tritium capsule keeps glowing after the lights go out.

The illuminating elements are sealed inside a chemical- and shock-resistant capsule, and the steel body carries Truglo’s rust-resistant FORTRESS finish. The design is snag-resistant and sized to work with standard holsters made for the host pistol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this sight set fit my Ruger American? This specific TFX set is machined to fit Ruger American pistols; Truglo sells other TFX variants for other pistols, so double-check your exact model before ordering.

Do these sights require batteries? No. The tritium capsules glow on their own with no batteries required, while the fiber-optic rod gathers ambient light during the day.

How long does the tritium glow last? Tritium sight inserts typically stay bright for several years before the glow fades enough to need replacement; Truglo’s fiber-optic front stays usable in daylight regardless.
