I don't think it makes much sense, you're using night vision anyway in any situations where you could use something like that, so you've got to have a helmet to put it on, and that means you've got a helmet to put your illuminator on too, and unlike a rifle, your head is going to be facing the same direction you're aiming.
Also, if my quick test with a regular flashlight and no NODs indicates anything, the IR illuminator on your helmet should enable you to aim with just the iron sights without the shadow of the gun in your hands covering anything on you point of aim. It won't be as tight as an illuminator on the pistol but you can use an IR laser or micro red dot that works with night vision. Especially if you're using one of those newfangled OPSIN monoculars and can differentiate colors.
