Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit a Glock 43 with a standard (non-threaded) barrel?
Yes. The suppressor-height designation refers to the increased sight height necessary to see over a suppressor or compensator, but these sights install and function perfectly on a standard Glock 43 with a factory barrel. Many shooters choose suppressor-height sights simply for the improved sight radius and easier co-witnessing with accessories mounted to the slide.
How do the dual-illuminated sights work in both daylight and darkness?
The R3D 2.0 front sight uses a self-luminous tritium vial for visibility in complete darkness, and a photoluminescent orange ring that charges in ambient or UV light for enhanced brightness in low-light or transitional conditions. In full daylight, the high-contrast orange ring stands out sharply against the blacked-out rear sight, making acquisition fast and intuitive regardless of lighting environment.
Can I install these XS R3D 2.0 sights at home without a gunsmith?
XS Sights rates the R3D 2.0 as DIYer-friendly, and the second-generation design requires 50% less installation force than the original R3D sights. A standard Glock sight pusher tool is recommended for a clean, safe installation. Most experienced handgun owners can complete the swap at home, though a qualified gunsmith can always assist if you prefer professional installation.
