XS Sights R3D 2.0 Tritium Night Sight Kits for 1911 Pistols

Fort Worth, Texas – XS® Sights is pleased to now offer its popular R3D 2.0 Tritium Night Sights for Colt, Kimber, and Springfield Armory 1911 pistols.

Designed for improved speed and accuracy in any light, these new second-generation tritium self-defense sights are brighter, stronger, and even easier to install than the original R3D models.

The Glow Dot’s self-luminous tritium vile glows in low or no light for 12 years and is surrounded by XS’ proprietary photoluminescent dot material that absorbs ambient light to glow in low light.
