Who This Is For
The XS R3D 2.0 is designed for HK P30, P45, P45C, and VP9 (non-optics-ready) owners who demand fast, reliable sighting day or night — whether they carry daily, work in law enforcement, or want a serious performance upgrade over factory sights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XS R3D 2.0 fit my HK VP9 or P45?
Yes. The XS R3D 2.0 in standard height is compatible with the HK P30, P45, P45C, and VP9. However, it is not compatible with optics-ready (OR) variants of these pistols, as those models require a different sight configuration to work with milled slides.
How long will the tritium in these sights last?
Tritium has a half-life of approximately 12 years, meaning XS R3D 2.0 sights will provide reliable self-luminous illumination for roughly 10–12 years of practical use. The photoluminescent glow dot supplements the tritium by absorbing ambient light and glowing in darkness, providing even greater brightness shortly after exposure to light sources.
Do these sights require professional installation?
The XS R3D 2.0 is engineered for easier installation, requiring 50% less force than the original R3D generation. While many experienced shooters install these at home using a quality sight pusher tool, professional installation by a gunsmith is always recommended if you are unfamiliar with the process to avoid damage to the sights or slide.
