Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XS R3D 2.0 sights fit all HK VP9 variants?
The XS R3D 2.0 in this listing is specifically designed for the standard HK VP9. It is not guaranteed to fit the VP9SK (subcompact) or VP9B without verifying compatibility. If you own a variant other than the standard VP9, contact XS Sights or Goodland Guns to confirm the correct part number before purchasing.
How long do the tritium vials in the R3D 2.0 sights last?
Tritium vials have a radioactive half-life of approximately 12 years, meaning your sights will retain roughly half their original brightness after that period. XS Sights engineers their tritium inserts to provide reliable low-light visibility for a minimum of 10–12 years under normal EDC conditions, making them a long-term investment for any duty or carry firearm.
What is the difference between the photoluminescent glow dot and the tritium element?
The tritium vial glows continuously on its own using a self-powered radioactive process — no light source required. The photoluminescent (phosphorescent) ring surrounding it absorbs ambient light when exposed to a light source and then glows brightly in the dark, providing an extra burst of visibility. Together, these two technologies make the R3D 2.0 front sight significantly brighter than tritium-only sights in transitional lighting conditions.
