Frequently Asked Questions
Will the R3D 2.0 suppressor-height sights work with my Glock 19 Gen 5?
Yes. The XS R3D 2.0 suppressor-height sights are compatible with the Glock 19 across multiple generations, including Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5, as well as the Glock 17. The suppressor-height profile also co-witnesses properly with most miniature red dot sights (MRDS) mounted directly to the slide, making them a versatile option even if you're not running a suppressor.
How do the tritium and photoluminescent elements work together on these sights?
The R3D 2.0 front sight uses a dual-illumination system: the tritium vial glows continuously in true darkness without any charge required, while the surrounding photoluminescent ring absorbs ambient or UV light and emits a bright glow for improved visibility in transitional or low-light environments. Together, they give you a highly visible front sight dot in virtually every lighting condition — from a pitch-black room to bright afternoon sunlight.
Can I install the R3D 2.0 sights at home, or do I need a gunsmith?
XS Sights designed the R3D 2.0 to be DIY-install rated, requiring approximately 50% less installation force than the previous generation. Most users can install these sights at home with a basic sight pusher tool or a quality nylon/brass punch and a bench block. Professional installation is always an option if you're not comfortable working on your firearm, but the reduced press-fit force makes this one of the more home-installer-friendly night sight upgrades available for the Glock platform.
