Tritium sights are a must on a modern handgun meant for police, military or self defense use. We know they glow in the dark, making the sights visible at night (hence the name) and we know they do that thanks to a substance called "tritium".

Tritium sights

It's so important that several companies offer many different products and a lot of different designs, but the tritium is the common denominator.

 

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen: it's actually nothing more than an atom of hydrogen (usually the simplest atom in the universe: one proton, one electron) with two added neutrons. As it happens, tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, but there's no reason for alarm. What happens is that a very small quantity of beta radiation is emitted: beta radiation is very weak and is absorbed by the tritium container, usually a small glass vial, lined with phosphor.

Tritium sights

When the beta radiation hits phosphor, it emits light. It's not a lot of light, and tritium sights can be seen glowing only in the dark. There's no health hazard at all, as tritium is contained in the sights and, even in the very unlikely event of breakage, an extremely small amount of tritium is contained in the vial and would disperse in harmless concentrations in a matter of minutes. 

Tritium sights

Tritium is a self contained, autonomous light source: it doesn't require batteries, it doesn't need to be "charged" like phosphor night sights, it doesn't need to be "switched on" and is extremely compact.
