Xs Sight Dxt2 Big Dot Springfield 1911A1 Loaded Trp Operator Yellow
The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot night sights for Springfield 1911A1 Loaded TRP Operator pistols combine tritium-powered visibility with a user-friendly sight picture designed for defensive shooting and low-light engagement. This is a purpose-built sight set for shooters who prioritize quick target acquisition in variable lighting conditions—from indoor home defense to law enforcement and tactical applications where your 1911A1 needs to be fight-ready when darkness falls.
The hallmark of the DXT2 system is its Big Dot front sight (0.188" high) paired with a low-profile V-notch rear. That generous front dot glows in ambient light and is powered by tritium for true night visibility without batteries or charging. The yellow high-contrast front sight absorbs daylight and performs reliably in bright outdoor conditions as well. The rear sight features a white outline with a tritium center, giving you a defined sight picture in any lighting. This dot-the-"i" design—where you center the large front dot in the rear notch—is intuitive and fast, even under stress. The rear sight also incorporates a ledge for one-handed slide manipulation, a feature valued in tactical and defensive contexts.
Built from durable CNC-machined steel, these sights are made to endure hard use and fit standard 1911A1 holster options without modification. XS Sights backs them with a 10-year warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, reflecting confidence in performance and durability. Whether you're a competitive shooter, home defender, or duty officer, the DXT2 Big Dot delivers a practical, fast sight picture when seconds and accuracy matter.
