Night Fision Optics-Ready Combo Packs — Simple Co-Witnessing for Any Red Dot

Adding a red dot is one of the fastest, most meaningful upgrades you can make to a pistol — and it’s also the perfect time to rethink your iron sights.

Night Fision’s Optics-Ready Combo Packs are built around that idea: a single boxed solution that pairs a slide plate with co-witness backup sights in the correct heights and configurations so you don’t have to hunt for compatible parts or guess at sight geometry.

‍

‍What’s in the box?

Each Optics-Ready Combo Pack contains:

• A direct-mount optic plate (RMS/RMSC-style compatibility on many models), cut and drilled to accept a micro-red dot.
• A matched set of co-witness backup sights available in three front/rear options: blank front, front with a yellow-ring (blank rear), or tritium front + tritium rear with a yellow ring.
• Multiple sight heights across the catalog so you can pick true co-witness (sight through the optic window) or lower 1/3 co-witness depending on your preference.

The point is convenience: one purchase, one install, and your optic and backups work together instead of fighting for space in the sight picture.

‍Why sight height matters

Co-witnessing isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a geometry problem. If your irons are too tall they can obscure the dot; if they’re too short they’re functionally useless as backups. Night Fision addresses this by offering several preset heights and an online co-witness selector that walks you through which option matches your optic footprint and mounting choice. That education component is useful: it prevents the common mistake of installing sights that either block the optic or fail to appear when you need them.

‍

‍Practical options and real-world use

The three sight configurations cover most use cases:

• Blank front / blank rear: Minimal backup option for users who want a low profile and don’t need high-visibility front elements.
• Yellow-ring front / blank rear: Improved acquisition in daylight and transitional light; the yellow ring helps guide the eye under stress.
• Tritium front + tritium rear with yellow ring: True low-light backup — you get a bright front reference and visible rear dots in darkness without drowning out your optic.

‍

On the range the tritium backups produced a clean sight picture, with a bright, easy-to-find front that didn’t overpower the dot. The yellow ring option is especially handy for shooters who want quicker alignment outdoors without adding tritium.

‍Installation & setup tips

• Use the included plate and follow torque specs for the optic screws — most kits are engineered to work with specific footprint standards and screw patterns.
• Decide whether you want true co-witness (irons line up with the optic reticle in the same plane) or 1/3 co-witness (irons sit slightly lower). If you’re unsure, the co-witness selector tool on Night Fision’s site is a quick way to match sights to your optic.
• Zero your optic first, then verify iron alignment. When you test, “dial off” slightly from previous holes to avoid subconscious aiming at old impacts.
• If you plan to use tritium, give it a few minutes in the dark to stabilize before judging brightness and contrast.

‍Who benefits most

• Concealed-carry owners who want a clean optic install without losing iron backups.
• New red-dot converts who prefer an out-of-the-box solution.
• Range shooters and trainers who swap optics often and want interchangeable, predictable backups.
• Any shooter who wants an easy path to proper co-witness geometry without trial-and-error.

‍Final thought

Night Fision’s Optics-Ready Combo Packs remove a common pain point: matching plates and backup sights to a specific optic and pistol. The combo approach — plate + matched sights + clear height guidance — takes the guessing out of co-witnessing and leaves you with a functional, unobtrusive backup system that works with your red dot instead of competing with it.

Practical, straightforward, and well thought out for real-world shooters.
