I picked up my M17 Commemorative, unwrapped it and the rear sights were both dark.
After speaking with Customer Service in NH, got an RMA and the slide is one its way back for a warranty repair.
Has anyone else experienced the tritium sights going dark?

I thought it was because they were orange and therefore didn't give off as much light. I'm going to follow this thread to what happens. Please be kind enough to keep us in the loop.

When I got mine I thought the same thing . But they do glow orange in a dark room . No problem .

Mine is the civilian version and the rear dots are green and bright. Interesting!

I haven't been able to put my hands on one. Where did you get yours?

My new out of the box P365 with Xray sights seemed dim to me. Then my nephew
sent a photo of his. (in the dark) The dot in the all black field was
bright compared to the photo I took of mine in the dark.

Called Sig CS and as usual__outstanding CS. I told him about the two
photos and he asked if I could attach them to an email for him. He sent me
an email and I attached the two photos and he sent me return to that email
informing forming me he'd send a replacement. (And made a joke about it)

I never felt the rep doubted me. I had the impression he just wanted to see those two photos. His remark after I did confirmed it was more out of curiosity as his decision had already been made, since he'd taken a moment to check and found they were out of the sights at that time and it'd likely take a week before he could send a replacement.
He'd already confirmed that I could change out sights myself.
This took less than an hour to arrange by phone and email.
That's Sig Sauer customer service. A friendly conversation and done.

I had two AmeriGlo front sights have the vial fall out. Both purchased months apart. Called their CS and it seemed instantly __road blocks. After four or five questions it was obvious the rep intended to do nothing. When the second one fell out__ I didn't even bother to call.
Needless to say I never intend to do business with that brand again.
Stay safe and trust Sig CS.

UPDATE-I sent back my slide to Sig in NH, and got a call from customer service.
This is how the Army spec'd out the sights and so this is a normal condition.
They wanted dim rear sights with the standard front sight.
I have since purchased the civilian version with the "normal" sights, and this is what I had expected.

That would be like the SIG XRay3 sights. The rears black out during the day (which is why I like them, I prefer a plain black notch rear for daytime shooting). But take them somewhere dark and they glow just fine.
