The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot Night Sights SW0030S5Y delivers faster target acquisition in low-light conditions with its distinctive big dot front sight 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 system features a large front dot that naturally draws the eye, eliminating the confusion of multiple aiming points found in standard sight configurations. The green tritium front sight with yellow outline provides maximum visibility against various backgrounds, while the rear sight's white outline bar creates a clear sight picture. This design philosophy prioritizes speed over precision shooting, making it ideal for defensive applications where quick target engagement matters most.
