Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we use Tritium in our sights?

As responsible gun owners, WE are accountable for every bullet that leaves the chamber of our gun. We want and need the bullet to go where intended. The ability to see your sights is key to shot accuracy. Unfortunately, this task becomes much more difficult when you're under stress. The adrenaline effects of fight or flight sets in, and tunnel vision focuses you on your aggressor. Keep in mind, it’s likely both parties are moving. You need to make some crucial decisions on what to do next and do it in under 3 seconds. (FBI Rules of 3). Keeping the effects of fight or flight in-mind, it is critical to have a good, visible set of iron sights installed on your defensive pistol. Self-illuminated tritium night sights provide glowing index points in low light to enable proper sight alignment. When it comes to tritium night sights, brightness counts, especially in the front sight. XS Sights R3D, DXT2, and F8 Tritium Night Sights all use brighter tritium lamps in the front than the rear.

How long do Tritium Sights Last?

Tritium sights have a half-life of around 12 years, which means that after this time, the brightness of the sight will have decreased by half.

Why choose Tritium sights over Fiber Optic Sights?

Tritium sights have distinct advantages over Fiber Optic sights for a number of reasons. First and foremost, Tritium sights are designed to provide a clear and reliable sight picture in low-light conditions. Unlike Fiber Optic sights, which require ample light to function effectively, Tritium sights use a radioactive gas that emits a glow, allowing shooters to easily see and aim at their target in any lighting situation. Tritium sights are also highly durable and long-lasting. Unlike Fiber Optic sights, which can be fragile and susceptible to damage, tritium sights are constructed with sturdy materials that can withstand the rigors of regular use and exposure to the elements. Another advantage of Tritium sights is their ease of use and reliability. It’s glow dot provides a clear aiming point which allows for quick and accurate target acquisition, even in high-stress situations. While both Tritium and Fiber Optic sights have their advantages, we at XS Sights believe that Tritium sights are the superior option for shooters who value reliable performance, durability, reliability, and ease of use in their sights.

Why Choose Night Sights over Red Dot Sights?

There are several advantages that Night Sights have over Red Dots: XS Night Sights utilize a combination of a photoluminescent dot and tritium to produce a glowing effect, enabling shooters to acquire targets quickly and accurately in any lighting situation. Red Dot Sights, on the other hand, require a power source or battery to function. Night Sights are also highly durable and long-lasting, being designed to withstand regular use and exposure to the elements, while Red Dot Sights are often more delicate and can be susceptible to damage from impact or weather conditions. Another advantage of Night Sights is their simplicity. Night Sights do not require complex adjustments or calibration, providing an intuitive aiming experience straight out of the box. This allows shooters to focus on their target without worrying about adjusting the sight. Night Sights are also a more affordable option compared to Red Dot Sights. All in all, Night Sights provide reliable performance and accuracy at an affordable price, making them an attractive choice for many shooters.
