What kind of site is this?

My used Beretta 92F came with these nite sites. The front site is really dim but the rear ones are still bright. The sites have MH3 stamped into the side. Anyone know who manufactured them? I would like to see if the company offered a warranty.

  Thanks, You are right, That M is the Meprolight logo. Just emailed them about the possibility of a warranted replacement.

  Warranty replacement? I'd be surprised.
  
  Tritium is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 11 years. After 6-8 years it becomes noticeably dimmer; beyond 10 years it is of little value.
  
  For that reason, tritium sights are of limited value to anyone other than an LEO (LEO's get their replacement sights paid for by their departments).

  Trijicons have a 12 year warranty, so Meprolight may have one too. And night sights are of value to more than just LEOs. IE: if a set of night sights costs $100.00 and they last only 5 years before they need replaced, that is only $20.00 per year. (They actually cost less and last longer.) That is a good investment in something that makes low light shooting much easier. And the sights make it easier to find the gun in the dark to begin with.

  It is kind of odd that the front site is really dim while the rear is Bright.
