Xs Sight Dxt2 Big Dot Colt 1911 Enhanced All Brl Lengths Lpa Cut Yell
The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot night sight set is built for 1911 shooters who demand fast, reliable target acquisition in low light and tactical conditions. These tritium-powered sights deliver glowing reference points when ambient light fades, making them a trusted choice for defensive carry, night range sessions, and low-light hunting scenarios. The Big Dot front sight—measuring 0.188" in height—creates an intuitive sight picture that prioritizes speed over precision, letting you acquire targets quickly without overthinking sight alignment.
XS engineered these sights specifically for Colt 1911 Enhanced models with LPA cuts, so you get a direct fit without gunsmithing. The front sight combines a tritium glow element with a high-contrast yellow ring that captures and amplifies available light, giving you a visible aiming point even before full darkness sets in. The rear sight uses a low-profile V-notch design that keeps the front sight in view and won't snag on clothing or gear during draw. Tritium fills the rear sight's center with white outline framing—a design that maintains visibility without overpowering the front sight.
Built from durable CNC machined steel, these sights are made to handle the recoil and wear of serious use. The rear sight ledge supports one-handed slide manipulations, a feature that matters when you're clearing malfunctions or operating from unconventional positions. Like all quality 1911 upgrades, they integrate seamlessly with standard holster options, so you won't need to source new carry gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these sights fit all Colt 1911 models?
These DXT2 sights are engineered for Colt 1911 Enhanced models with LPA cuts in all barrel lengths. If your 1911 uses a different dovetail cut, verify compatibility before ordering.

Yes. The low-profile V-notch rear and night sight design are suitable for defensive carry, and they integrate with standard 1911 holster options so you won't need specialized gear.
How long does the tritium stay visible?
Tritium is self-illuminating and requires no external light source or charging. The supplied facts don't specify fade duration; consult XS Sights directly for tritium lifespan details.
What's the difference between the DXT2 and other XS sight models?
The DXT2 combines tritium illumination in both front and rear sights with a white outline on the rear and high-contrast yellow on the front. This setup prioritizes low-light speed and visibility. Other XS models may use different illumination or contrast options.
