DXT2 PRO Series Handgun Sights: Big Dot, Big Advantage!
XS Sights has just launched their new DXT2 PRO Series. I was lucky enough to get a set of these to try out last week and I love the big green dot! These sights are the first Big Dot to be offered with a Green Glow Dot Front Sight. The PRO series features upgrades from the DXT2 Big Dot, including a Black Nitride Finish and a more Durable Tritium Lamp in the Pro Series.
During defensive altercations, you may experience tunnel vision that keeps you fixated on the threat. Most likely, you and your attacker will be moving. Practical accuracy (effectiveness over precision) is crucial at this point, but people do not line up their sights when shooting in this situation. XS express sights ensure the big, colored, glowing front sight will be in your line of sight for a combat-accurate sight picture that allows for a simple, sufficient alignment when time is short, and all shots are critical.
Big Dots are designed for defensive shooting. Defensive altercations happen in both bright light and low light. Our goal in choosing colors was to pick the most visible colors in bright light and to have a bright glowing front sight in low light. The bright Green offers a high-contrast front sight in daylight and glows brightly in low light. In contrast, Optic Yellow glows the best in low light. Optic Orange offers the most contrast in bright light but does not glow as brightly in low light.
Designed for defensive shooting, these sights offer top-notch visibility in any light condition. The fluorescent green is fast to pick up in bright light option but they also glow like crazy in low light. DXT2 PRO Series sights offer the same exceptional benefits as the original big dot sights easy-to-see: front sight, simple vertical alignment for fast sight acquisition and tritium for visibility in low light.
They are currently available in models to fit the following:
Glock 17, 19 ,22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 45, & 47
Glock 20, 21, 29, 30, 30S, 37, 40, & 41
Glock 42, 43, 43X, & 48
As a bonus, all XS sights are CNC machined in Fort Worth, Texas with American materials.
The DXT2 PRO line offers users increased durability and corrosion resistance due to the upgraded tritium lamps and BlackNitride surface finish. Another unique change is the green glow dot front sight. Green is a great bright light option that glows extremely bright in low light. DXT2 PRO Series sights offer the same exceptional benefits as our original big dot sights – large and easy to see front sight, simple vertical alignment for fast sight acquisition, tritium for visibility in low light, and CNC machined in Fort Worth, Texas with American materials. Designed for defensive shooting, these sights offer top-notch visibility in any light condition.

scenarios. (ROYGBIV: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet).

The folks at XS are tinkerers and builders. They suggest that you to install these sights yourself! The slip fit design will ensure you can effortlessly install your rear sight. They do offer installation services, but your local gun shop might be easier.
