Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XS R3D 2.0 sights fit my Glock 43 without modification?
Yes. The XS R3D 2.0 sights are specifically designed and dimensioned for the Glock 43, fitting the factory dovetail cuts without requiring any machining or modification to the slide. The second-generation design also reduces the installation force required by 50% compared to the original R3D, making it a straightforward DIY installation with a standard sight pusher tool.
How do the tritium and photoluminescent elements work together?
The front sight uses a dual-illumination system that combines a tritium vial — which glows continuously using nuclear decay, requiring no charging — with a photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) ring that absorbs ambient or UV light and emits a bright glow afterward. In daylight, the green photoluminescent ring provides a vivid, high-contrast aiming point. In darkness, the tritium element takes over, ensuring you always have a usable sight picture regardless of available light.
How long will the tritium in the R3D 2.0 sights last?
Tritium has a half-life of approximately 12 years, meaning the vials in your R3D 2.0 sights will remain bright and fully functional for roughly 10–12 years of normal use before you may notice a gradual dimming. For most EDC applications, this service life comfortably covers the expected lifespan of a carry pistol's sight set before replacement would be considered.
