Where does one find tritium vials?
I recently picked up a police trade-in Beretta FS92. It has night sights but they are dead. I would like to punch them out and replace them if possible. I found a CandlePowerForum where they sold tritium vials but all those threads are old.
Does anyone know where to get replacements?"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

they are radioactive gas. I'm not sure but there might be some handling issues with it. you might be better off just getting new night sights. theyre under $100.00 and you don't have to risk breaking that lil capsule open.

if it is on a beretta 92 it needs to be sent into berretta i think since the front sight is non removable. contact beretta about it

honetly, ahve them replaced professionally.
the tritium gas is in a amount so harmless that the Trijicon guys once remarked that you'd have to break somethin like 50K of them in a sealed room and breathe it for hours to have any harmful effects.
try a gunshop, ask if they have any broken night sites around.
its pretty common to break them pushing them into slides.
use sulphuric acid(muriatic) to eat way the sight metal, then peel the slicone off the glass vial thats left over."Oderint Dum Metuant" - BMFH
