Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Optic Orange color better than standard white or green night sights?
Optic Orange is formulated to provide maximum contrast in bright daylight conditions where tritium alone offers little advantage. The color is based primarily on yellow with a hint of red, giving you a vivid, easy-to-pick-up dot in full sun while also retaining strong photoluminescent glow in fading light — bridging the gap before tritium kicks in at true darkness. This three-stage visibility (daylight, dusk, night) is what sets the DXT2 Optic Orange apart from conventional two-stage sight systems.
Will these sights fit all Glock 17, 19, and 22 generations?
XS Sights designs the DXT2 Big Dot sights to fit standard Glock dovetail dimensions used across Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 variants of the Glock 17, 19, and 22. However, it is always recommended to verify compatibility with your specific generation before purchase, and professional installation by a qualified gunsmith is advisable to ensure proper fit and zero.
How long does the tritium in these sights last?
Tritium is a radioactive isotope that naturally decays over time, with a half-life of approximately 12 years. XS Sights tritium inserts are rated for a useful service life of roughly 12 years, after which brightness will have diminished by about half. Even beyond that point, the photoluminescent glow dot continues to function independently, maintaining low-light utility well past the tritium's peak performance window.
