Summary

Gun Talk Nation welcomes Rachel and Sean from Night Fision to dive deep into the evolving world of pistol optics, tritium sight tech, co-witnessing, and why training is critical for real-world performance. 

From window sizes to the “combat cut,” we discuss how sight innovation impacts both competition and defensive shooting—and why your gear (and mindset) may need a refresh.

I need more window.

0:12.4

I need more window.

0:57.4

go away. Please, but please don't hang up. We're going to talk about maybe a little co-witnessing and

1:02.4

answering some of those questions. It's going to be a little techie, but we have the right people

1:07.0

here to talk to us. We've got Rachel and Sean from Night Fission. Welcome

it gets fun sometimes because people will sometimes hear it and they're like, oh, like the nods.

1:23.8

And we're like, no, it's the Tritium. And they're like, I have questions. I don't know what that is. So, you know, it's a play on fission. So nuclear fission, which is a source of energy. And so part of the byproducts of what's created with nuclear fission is tritium. Because it's an isotope. I mean, you did warn everybody.

1:45.2

I know.

1:45.4

You were going to get a little nerdy. We went there real quick. I'm sorry, everybody. Stick with us. Get some coffee. Right off the red ball. Yeah. But the reality is it is a byproduct of that. And tritium is a, it's an isotope. Don't try to make your own. Yeah. No, definitely don't do that.

1:41.9
