XS Sights R3D 2.0 Night Sights (High-Contrast Orange Front / Green Rear) — GL-R012P-6N

Upgrade your defensive handgun with the high-speed, high-visibility XS Sights R3D 2.0 Night Sight Set (SKU: GL-R012P-6N / UPC: 647533046466). Built by XS Sights—a leading American manufacturer renowned for fast-acquisition defensive iron sights—the R3D 2.0 is an enhanced 3-dot tritium system designed to drive your eye directly to the front sight under any lighting conditions.

The front sight features a bright tritium vial surrounded by XS’s proprietary high-contrast Orange Glow Dot. Made with photoluminescent material, the orange ring absorbs ambient light to glow in low-light transitions while providing sharp, vivid contrast during broad daylight. Paired with a glare-reducing blacked-out rear sight housing two subtle green tritium dots, the R3D 2.0 creates a clean notch-and-post sight picture with a forward rear ledge engineered for emergency one-handed slide cycling.

Key Features:

• High-Contrast Orange Front Ring: Proprietary photoluminescent orange ring surrounding the front tritium dot glows bright during low-light transitions and pops vividly in full daylight.

• Premium Swiss Tritium Vials: Self-illuminating Swiss tritium green dots (front and rear) glow continuously in complete darkness with no batteries or light charging required.

• Traditional 3-Dot Notch & Post: Combines a bright front dot with dual rear tritium dots for familiar, precision-capable alignment.

• Anti-Glare Blacked-Out Rear: Rear sight face features horizontal serrations and a blacked-out finish to eliminate sun glare and prevent visual distraction.

• One-Handed Racking Ledge: Aggressive, forward-canted rear sight ledge allows rapid emergency slide manipulation off a belt, holster, or hard surface.

• Easy-Press Fitment & Durable Finish: CNC-machined steel body finished in a corrosion-resistant black nitride coating, engineered for precise dovetail fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is XS Sights?

XS Sights is a premier U.S.-based sight manufacturer with over 25 years of experience specializing in rugged, fast-acquisition defensive hunting and tactical handgun sights.

How does the photoluminescent orange ring work?

In broad daylight, the high-visibility orange dye provides immediate contrast. As ambient light dims, the photoluminescent pigment glows naturally to bridge the gap before your eyes adapt to the green tritium dots in total darkness.

Does this sight set require an FFL transfer?

No. Handgun sights and iron sight accessories are non-serialized firearm parts and ship directly to your home address where permitted.

Can I install these sights myself?

Shooters with a quality sight pusher tool or brass punch can install them at home. However, professional gunsmith installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and prevent dovetail finish wear.
