Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of XS Sights' 24/7 sight system?

The 24/7 sight system from XS Sights incorporates tritium illumination in both the front and rear sights. This design ensures that the sights are visible and usable in a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright daylight to complete darkness, enhancing target acquisition speed.

Where were the new XS Sights for the Glock 42 and 43 debuted?

The new 24/7 sights for the Glock 42 and Glock 43 were debuted by XS Sights at the SHOT Show in 2016. This product launch addressed previous restrictions that prevented tritium in the rear sight for these specific pistol models.

How does XS Sights demonstrate the effectiveness of their night sights?

At their SHOT Show booth, XS Sights features a dark room with a target on the wall. This allows potential customers to pick up a handgun, see the sights in full light, and then observe how the sights perform and remain visible when the curtain is closed, simulating low-light to no-light conditions.

Why are XS Sights beneficial for competitive shooters?

Competitive shooters find XS Sights, particularly the 'Big Dot' models, beneficial due to their ease of acquisition on presentation from a holster. They also aid in quick target transitions, reloads, and re-establishing a grip, helping shooters achieve good hits as fast as possible in disciplines like USPSA and IDPA.
