Xs Sight Dxw2 Big Dot For Walther Ppk Ppks (380 Only) - Yellow
The XS Sights DXW2 Big Dot night sights for Walther PPK/PPKS (.380 only) are purpose-built to get rounds downrange fast in any light condition. If you carry a compact .380 for personal defense, low-light shooting, or range work, these tritium-powered sights sacrifice the fine precision of traditional target sights for speed and visibility where it matters most—when you need to acquire your target quickly and shoot accurately under pressure.
The standout feature here is the oversized front sight dot (0.188" high), which your eye picks up instantly compared to a standard post. The front sight glows in ambient light and relies on tritium for reliable illumination in darkness, while the high-contrast yellow coloring ensures it stays visible in daylight shooting too. The low-profile V-shaped rear sight is designed to keep the focus on that front sight—a tried-and-true principle in combat and defensive shooting. That rear ledge is handy for one-handed slide manipulations if you ever need to chamber a round single-handed.
Built from CNC-machined steel, these sights are built to last and fit holster-compatible dimensions so you won't have to hunt for a new carry rig. The rear sight uses a white stripe (non-tritium) to frame the glowing front dot, keeping the sight picture clean and intuitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my Walther PPK or PPKS?
These sights are designed specifically for Walther PPK and PPKS pistols chambered in .380 ACP. If you own a different Walther model or caliber variant, these won't be compatible—verify your pistol model and caliber before ordering.
Do night sights work in daylight?
Yes. The XS DXW2 features a high-contrast yellow front sight that is highly visible in daylight shooting. The tritium illumination is always there but is most noticeable in low light or darkness. The glow dot also absorbs ambient light during the day, so you get good visibility in any condition.
Can I use these sights for concealed carry?
Absolutely. These sights are built for the PPK/PPKS platform, which is a popular concealed carry and backup gun. The sights are designed to fit standard holster dimensions, so your existing holsters should continue to work.
What's the advantage of the big dot versus a standard sight?
The oversized 0.188" Big Dot front sight is engineered for speed over precision. Your eye naturally gravitates to the larger sight picture, which means faster target acquisition in defensive situations. This is especially valuable in low light or high-stress shooting where fine sight alignment becomes secondary to getting rounds on target quickly.
