The XS Sights SW0029S5Y DXT2 Big Dot Night Sights deliver rapid target acquisition in any lighting condition through their distinctive oversized front dot design. This sight set combines tritium illumination with high-contrast outlines to create an intuitive aiming system that reduces sight alignment time by up to 30% compared to traditional three-dot configurations.
What Makes This Different
The DXT2 Big Dot system abandons conventional equal-height sight pictures in favor of a large front dot that covers the target at defensive distances. This design eliminates the need for precise sight alignment while maintaining combat accuracy out to 15 yards. The yellow outline front sight paired with a white outline rear bar creates maximum contrast against varied backgrounds, while tritium inserts maintain visibility in complete darkness for 12+ years.
Key Features
- Oversized .188" front dot for rapid target acquisition and reduced sight alignment time
- Green tritium inserts in both front and rear sights with 12-year illumination guarantee
- High-contrast yellow front outline and white rear bar for daylight visibility
- Shallow V-notch rear sight design optimized for the Big Dot system
- Steel construction with anti-reflective black finish
- Direct replacement for factory Smith & Wesson sights with no gunsmithing required
- Compatible with most holsters designed for factory sight profiles
Field testing demonstrates the DXT2 system excels in close-quarters scenarios where speed matters more than precision. Law enforcement agencies report faster first-shot times during low-light qualification courses, while competitive shooters appreciate the system's effectiveness in USPSA and IDPA close-range stages. The tritium remains clearly visible through temperature extremes from -20°F to 160°F, maintaining consistent brightness regardless of weather conditions.
