Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ember® Glow Dot Technology differ from standard tritium sights?
Standard tritium sights rely solely on a small glass vial of tritium gas that glows on its own in darkness. XS Sights' Ember® Glow Dot Technology adds a photoluminescent material surrounding the tritium lamp on the front sight. This material absorbs ambient light and re-emits it as a bright glow, while the tritium simultaneously charges the Ember dot from within. The result is a front sight that is significantly brighter than the rear at all times — in daylight, dusk, and full darkness — helping your eye naturally focus forward on the threat.
Will these sights fit my existing holster and slide cuts?
Yes. XS R3D Night Sights are designed to fit standard dovetail cuts on compatible Sig Sauer and Springfield XD pistols and are dimensioned to work with the vast majority of OEM and aftermarket holsters made for those platforms. No special holster modifications should be required. If you use a custom or precision-fit holster, it is always a good idea to verify fitment with your holster maker before installation.
Can I install these sights myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
Installation typically requires a sight pusher tool or brass punch and mallet to remove the factory sights and seat the new dovetail-mounted sights. Many experienced gun owners install their own sights at home with the right tools. However, if you are unfamiliar with pistol sight installation or do not have the proper tools, having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation is recommended to avoid damaging the slide or new sights. XS Sights also provides installation guidance on their official website.
