Universal Shotgun Front Sight – Designed to Fit Most Ribs
The TRUGLO Tru-Bead Universal front sight is engineered to fit a wide variety of ventilated rib shotgun barrels:
Universal design fits most shotgun ribs commonly found on popular 12, 20, and some 16 gauge models
Ideal for:
Great upgrade for factory beads that are too small, hard to see, or non-adjustable
If you want a fiber optic sight but don’t want to permanently modify your barrel, this Tru-Bead Universal is an excellent solution.
High-Visibility Fiber Optic – Green, Red, Yellow & Orange Options
One of the standout features of the TG949A is its multi-color fiber optic capability:
Whether you’re in dark timber, bright fields, or under overcast skies, you can choose the color that pops best for your eyes.
Faster Target Acquisition for Hunting & Clay Shooting
The TRUGLO Tru-Bead fiber optic design makes your front sight stand out clearly, allowing you to shoot more confidently:
Bright fiber optic rod gathers ambient light to create a glowing dot at the muzzle
Enhances your ability to pick up the bead quickly when swinging on flying birds, flushing game, or fast clay targets
Helps maintain proper front-sight focus, supporting smoother, more consistent leads
From turkey and upland game to skeet, trap, and sporting clays, a bright front sight can be a game-changer for your hit percentage.
Matte Black Base – Low-Glare, Durable & Discreet
The Tru-Bead Universal sight features a black base that complements virtually any shotgun finish:
Matte black finish reduces glare and visual distractions around the fiber optic dot
Blends cleanly with blued, parkerized, or matte-finished barrels and ribs
Tough construction designed to handle recoil, field use, and regular trips to the range
You get a sight that’s bright where it matters (the fiber) and subdued where it counts (the base), for a clean, professional look.
Simple Installation – No Gunsmithing for Most Setups
TRUGLO designs the Tru-Bead Universal to be easy to install on compatible shotgun ribs:
Typically mounts using included hardware and adapters designed to clamp or fit onto the rib
No major permanent modifications required on most models
A great DIY upgrade for shooters who want better visibility without sending their gun to a gunsmith
Always follow the included instructions and confirm compatibility with your specific shotgun before installation. If you’re unsure, a qualified gunsmith can help ensure a secure and properly aligned fit.
Perfect for Hunting, Clays, and Defensive Shotguns
The TRUGLO Tru-Bead Universal Fiber Optic Front Sight TG949A is a smart upgrade for many shotgun roles:
Turkey and upland hunting – Helps you quickly find and center the bead on fast or moving birds
Waterfowl – High-visibility front sight can make it easier to track passing ducks and geese
Clay sports – Great for skeet, trap, and sporting clays shooters who want a clearer front reference
Home defense shotguns – A bright front sight can help you align the gun faster in low or transitional light (always paired with proper training and safe practices)
If you rely on a shotgun for serious work—or serious fun—this sight makes getting on target faster and more intuitive.
