Hello,
I was wondering what you should expect for the lifetime of Sig’s night sight (x-rays) IIRC on my P365X? The front sight is pretty much dead. The rear sights are glowing very dimly. Born on date for the gun is 02/24. I picked it up in 05/24. I am pretty sure they should last a little longer than just shy of 3 years. What say you?

This is a well known issue with the xrays sights on the P365. They die prematurely. Been discussed plenty on here. Call SIG CS on Monday. They will either send you a new NS or ask you to send it in for replacement.

Take a picture or two to show them. That’s what I did, when mine died.

Yup. When I would buy a Legion, the sights were the first thing I’ll remove.

Xray3 sights are one of several examples why Sig no longer claims, "To Hell and back reliability."

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Will get a hold of Sig on Monday. Like another poster said on one of the threads posted… as much time as I spend on this forum I should have paid more attention to this.

Yes, my front sight "winked out" on my 2022-vintage one in early 2026. Sig CS sent me an e-mailed FedEx shipping label and replaced it for free. Total turnaround time, from the phone call, to my taking it to the FedEx Office store, to its return, was about a week. Only the slide needs to be sent.

Perfect. Thank you.

Doing anything less would be criminal. Tritium half life is 12.3 years, so the sight should never go completely dark after just 3 or 4 years. They had to replace it under warranty.

In my case, I didn’t want to send the slide in, told them to just send me the sight, and they did.

I suspect, but can't prove, that the tritium simply leaked out of the ampoule altogether, not that it went bad, i.e., not radioactive enough. Yes, I know, a distinction without a difference.

I never liked the night sights on the P365s, so I replaced all of them right away with Night Fision on 2 and, IIRC, Trijicon on the 3rd one. The last one is a SAS model so no change was needed.

I noticed on 2 of the 365s, that the night sights were pretty dim, one of the guns being new, the other being like new.

While I did not call Sig for any reasons concerning my P365s, I had another Sig with a minor problem, called Sig and they responded immediately. If I were you, OP, I'd give 'em a call if you like the Sig sights.

I firmly believe the P365 is a great gun, but for me the cost of the night sights and new grip module to make it feel and shoot the way I wanted was just a necessary expense.

As noted previously, call SIG CS and supply the serial number and they will take care of it for you. If you have a sight pusher they should be able to just send the replacement sights. If not you can send just the slide in for warranty service. Turnaround time is about a week these days for something like that.

I should have asked for store credit. But I will never keep another xray sight on any sig I own. ALL of mine have failed. I think they made them cheaper at some point...
