Glock firearms are som of the most popular on the market today, and for good reason. Glock handguns are known for their reliability, durability, and performance. And now, with XS Sights tritium night sights installed on your Glock Pistol, you can have the best of both worlds.
Most Glock pistols are equipped with plastic sights that are not ideal for EDC or a home defense gun. XS offers durable iron sights that will hold up to years of abuse and stay on the gun. Our sights come equipped with tritium to provide an illuminated sight picture in low light. Tritium glows for 10-years and does not require batteries or maintenance. We carry a variety of sight pictures tailored to specific shooting styles.
DXT2 Night Sights offer the fastest sight acquisition on the market. The big dot front sight and open rear sight allow a greater field of view down range, increasing the front sight acquisition speed. The simple in-line sight picture reduces sight alignment time by eliminating an extra focus point compared to traditional notch and post sights. The dot-the-i sight picture prevents confusing the front and rear sight if you're in a high-stress situation or in low light. DXT2 Sights are available in a Standard Dot (0.140”) or Big Dot (0.188”) front sight. The center of the front sight post has a tritium insert for when the photoluminescent runs out or if you’re in complete darkness.
R3D Night Sights offer an enhanced notch and post sight traditional sight picture, built for a lifetime of hard use. All XS sight systems are designed around highly visible front sights to enhance front sight focus. R3D sights feature a brighter tritium vial in the front sight to increase front sight focus. The rear features a simple blacked-out face with a wide notch to increase visible light around the front post.
XS front sights are equipped with our proprietary photoluminescent Ember Glow Dot technology. The Glow Dot features a high-contrast color in bright light, absorbs ambient light, and glows in low light conditions, providing you with high visibility and fast target acquisition, no matter the lighting conditions. Ember is available in multiple colors to satisfy personal color preferences. DXT2 and R3D sights are available with a tritium or non-tritium rear option to fit your shooting style.

Glock History
Glock was founded by Gaston Glock in 1963. Some of the earliest products produced by GLOCK GesmbH were curtain rods for the consumer market and knives and entrenching tools for the Austrian military.
When the Austrian military began looking for a new service pistol in the 1980's, Glock assembled a team and began design and development of a new handgun. The Glock 17 9mm pistol was the result of that effort, and it quickly became the service pistol for the Austrian military.
The Glock 17 proved to be such a successful design that it was soon adopted by militaries and police forces around the world. Today, Glock handguns are some of the most popular on the market, with models like the Glock 19, Glock 26, and Glock 43 becoming household names.
