Frequently Asked Questions
Will the XS R3D 2.0 fit my Smith & Wesson M&P with an optics cut?
No — this specific model is designed for the standard Smith & Wesson M&P Full Size without an optics cut. If your pistol has been factory or aftermarket milled for a red dot optic, you will need a different sight set that is compatible with an optic-ready slide. Check your pistol's slide configuration before purchasing.
What is the difference between the green and orange photoluminescent options?
XS Sights offers the R3D 2.0 with either a green or orange photoluminescent Glow Dot surrounding the tritium vial on the front sight. Both charge quickly under ambient or UV light and glow brightly in darkness. Green tends to be easier to see for shooters with certain color sensitivities, while orange provides a warmer, high-contrast alternative — the choice is largely a matter of personal preference and visual acuity.
How long does the tritium in the R3D 2.0 sights last?
Tritium has a half-life of approximately 12 years, meaning the self-luminous glow will gradually dim over time. Most manufacturers, including XS Sights, rate tritium night sights for approximately 10–12 years of reliable low-light performance. The photoluminescent (glow-charged) component of the R3D 2.0 remains fully functional indefinitely as long as it is periodically exposed to light, which helps extend overall low-light usability even as the tritium naturally decays.
