TruGlo expanded its line of TFX and TFX Pro handgun sights with new versions designed specifically for all models of the Ruger American Pistol.

TFX, which stands for Tritium+Fiber-Optic Extreme, are three-dot handgun sights that glow in the dark and can be used in both bright sunlight and complete darkness. The technology uses sealed capsules set in place using press-fit retention rings along with a trademarked Fortress Finish to produce a durable set of sights that are resistant to chemical solvents.

The company's TFX Pro line adds a U-notch rear sight for additional speed and accuracy and an orange Focus Lock ring on the front sight, along with an angled rear sight that aids in one-handed slide operation.

The suggested retail price on TruGlo's TFX sights is $172, while the upgraded TFX Pro sights retail at a suggested price of $186.
