Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XS R3D 2.0 fit my Glock 17 as well as the Glock 19?
Yes. The XS R3D 2.0 in this listing is compatible with both the Glock 19 and the Glock 17, as these models share the same sight dimensions and dovetail specifications. If you own a different Glock model, check the XS Sights compatibility chart or contact Goodland Guns to confirm fitment before ordering.
How does the dual-illuminated front sight work in different lighting conditions?
The R3D 2.0 front sight combines two technologies in one package. The tritium vial provides self-luminous glow in complete darkness without any need for ambient light or charging, while the surrounding photoluminescent ring absorbs light during the day and glows brightly in low-light conditions. Together, they ensure the high-contrast orange Glow Dot is visible and fast to acquire in virtually any environment — from full daylight to pitch black.
Can I install the XS R3D 2.0 sights at home, or do I need a gunsmith?
The R3D 2.0 is specifically rated for DIY installation and is designed to require 50% less installation force compared to the previous generation, reducing the risk of damage during the process. Most shooters with a basic sight installation tool or a quality sight pusher can complete the swap at home. That said, if you are not comfortable working on your firearm, a qualified gunsmith can have these installed quickly and correctly.
