The local addiction supplier here has the black 3" model with the Ameriglo sight. The tag I believe was $349.
Fondled it a bit for balance and point-ability, boy those sight jump out at you.
What I did notice was when sighting it, the tritium vial cannot be seen with a flat-even sight picture.

Seems like I carry my 856UL often .. light , small , six rounds of Federal 130gr HST +P ... OWB
I’ll agree that you bury the tritium below the bottom of the rear sight notch. But for point shorting in the dark... it’d be just fine. Similar to the way Kyle Defoor had ameriglo make the tritium version of his Glock sights.

Only a few hundred through each... no issues so far.
I do have my eyes peeled for a lightweight 3” too. Pair & a spare.
The one at the pusher is 856, 3 inch, black stainless revo.
It's not the ultra-lite.
Still looks to be a nice small revo.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
If I get one of these, it will be the stainless. The black is just black oxide. Not really any way to touch it up. Cold blue will bounce off the stainless that's under it. Whereas the stainless can be brushed and just look like stainless.
