Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the XS Sights optic plate for Glock MOS superior to factory plates?

The XS Sights plate features a stabilizing lug that prevents optic shift, improved screw thread engagement for better retention, and ensures full contact with the optic's sealing plate, enhancing durability and reliability under recoil.

What are the advantages of XS Sights' new suppressor height sights?

These sights are designed to be low-profile, minimizing visual clutter when an optic is functioning. They serve as a reliable backup sighting system if the primary optic fails, offering just enough sight picture for effective use.

Why does XS Sights offer plain black sights in addition to tritium options?

Plain black sights are advantageous for users employing night vision devices (NVDs). Tritium dots can bloom excessively under NVDs, washing out the sight picture, whereas a black sight blade provides a clear aiming point without illumination issues.

What are the key features of XS Sights' new M-LOK forends for lever-action rifles?

These forends are direct, drop-in replacements made from durable 6061 aluminum with a hard anodized finish. They feature M-LOK slots for versatile accessory mounting and a monolithic top rail designed for stable optic mounting, crucial for night hunting.
