XS Sight Systems introduces a new line of fiber optic sights specifically designed for Glock pistols, promising enhanced performance for competition and training alike. Manufactured in the USA, these steel robust sights have been engineered to deliver unmatched brightness and visibility in daylight, making them one of the best upgrades a Glock owner can afford.
XS Glock Fiber Optic Sight kits feature a precision CNC-machined, serrated rear sight and a front sight with a green fiber optic insert. If you prefer a different color upfront, an interchangeable red fiber optic insert is also included. Jeff King, Marketing Manager at XS Sights, noted the design’s enhanced light transmission and durability: US-sourced fiber optic material was selected due to its ideal light-channeling properties, delivering superior performance while resisting cracking.
It is optimally .215 inches tall, striking a balance between being large enough to be seen yet small enough not to obscure the target. The .060-inch diameter fiber optic effectively gathers light to ensure that it is highly visible in bright conditions on the shooting range or in competition. The rear sight notch is .145 inches wide, with crisp, defined edges for quick target acquisition and precise alignment.
Features: Angled design for maximum light transmission and strength Anti-glare serrations on the rear sight Green or red fiber optic color options Constructed of the finest materials to withstand harsh operating environments and provide optimal light transmission through the sight Steel construction to stand heavy-duty use Made in USA Easy to install using sight pusher tools or a hammer and punch
XS Fiber Optic Sights are provided for Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 45, 47, 42, 43, 43X, and 48. Prices are quite budget-friendly at $69.99, which is more in tune with the line that will not break the bank and will increase your shooting accuracy and overall performance at the range.
Each has its advantages in the debate between the tritium night sight and the fiber optic sight. Tritium sights, using radioactive tritium gas to emit a glowing light in the dark, are highly appropriate for low light conditions and, therefore, favored by military and police personnel, as well as tactical shooters. They are also more expensive, however, as their glow intensity diminishes over time.
While fiber-optic sights perform best in bright daylight and are, therefore, very popular among sport shooters, they are more affordable and available in several diameters and colors. However, they are more delicate than night sights and do not perform as well in low-light conditions.
The new fiber optic sets from XS Sights answer the needs of competitive shooters by being highly visible, easy to acquire, and yet precise. Quality and innovation include using CNC machining with durable materials to make their sights meet rigorous demands for both personal defense and hunting applications.
