New Optics Ready Stealth Sights for Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP

DEARBORN, MI. (October 21, 2021) – Night Fision, a leader in advanced tritium insertion solutions, is pleased to announce that Optics Ready Stealth Sights are now available for the Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP.

Night Fision’s Optics Ready Stealth (ORS) sights are engineered to offer a lower 1/3 co-witness. As an alternative to repurposing Suppressor Height sights, ORS sights are designed from the dovetail up to work as back up sights for optics, obscuring less of the optic window. Beyond their purpose-driven height, ORS sights offer the consumer several variations to select from: Yellow, Orange, and Black ring front sights can be combined with Blank, or Black ring rear sights, giving a greater number of possible combinations for the Hellcat OSP owner to choose from. Regardless of the combination, all variants feature narrow front blades that obscure less threat, and serrated faces to minimize glare from sun or handheld lights if employed due to optic failure.

“We’re incredibly proud of the Optics Ready Stealth line of sights,” said Rachel Maloney, Marketing Director for Night Fision, “Knowing the Hellcat OSP is the carry choice for many, we look forward to enabling Hellcat OSP owners to tailor their carry gun with our precision tritium products.” Read more
