It's probably a pin made with tritium.

[Shootem up870]

yes i would agree its probably just a tritium pin. cabelas has them for about 25$ i think

[c4extrem]

I give him a call & yes it is that sight . I will be ordering one . it does not have the glow around the pin & you dont have to turn it off
thanks Gregg

I've got tritium pins on 2 bows and they are great for hunting. Always lit, day and night.

The other posts are right on the money. "Tritium" Not nuclear, but they are radioactive. Similar coating material that's applied on watch hands for luminescence.
