XS Big Dot Night Sights :)

Post by carlson1 »

I finally picked up two pair for my Glock 26 and 19. I can't wait to shoot them. I have seen the videos and I hope I hope I can shoot as good as they appear. :hurry:

What other sights did you consider before buying the Xs sights and what made you choose them over some others? I have looked at them before but I really like the way they look for my AK rifle.

I was using TFO's. I watched a video on youtube and then shot a friends Glock with them. They are very easy to use. I love the sight picture.

:iagree: I have installed 'em on all my Glocks, I've ordered them for my revolvers now...

I was making solid hits double tapping on 8" steel plates, at 10 m, in the almost dark/twilight, from the shoulder rig too, with my model 33. These sights are 'da bomb'

Yeah I love them - very quick. I was dubious that I'd also still be able to get good groups (the large front sight tends to obscure small targets) but if you dot the 'i' and then key off the top of the front dot you still get good groups.

The video I watched the guy was placing them in the same hole. When he was done it looked a little larger than a quarter.

I watched that video after the thread started. I think the idea looks like it works. I am also curious about a ghost ring rear sight and a tritium or fiber optic front. Does anyone think there is any advantage to that set up over the Big Dot set up?

Well. I enjoy the XS Big Dot Night Sights! They are very easy to use and very easy to install. Their customer service has a lot to be desired.

Got the XS Big Dots on my G27 and both M&P's. Thinking about adding a set to my SW1911PD.

Never had any problems with their customer service and they've been quick to respond to questions whether sent via email or called on the phone.
