Xs Sight Systems R3D Night Sight For Kimber K6 Revolver Green
$143.18
The XS Sight Systems R3D night sight for Kimber K6 revolver is a tritium-based aiming system built for shooters who need reliable sight pictures in anything from bright daylight to near-total darkness. This green-front variant combines a traditional three-dot sight picture with Ember Glow Dot Technology—a light-absorbing coating on the front sight ring that glows distinctly in low-light conditions. The green tritium option delivers maximum glow intensity, making it the smart choice if you're running this revolver in evening or low-light scenarios.
The sight geometry is engineered for fast target acquisition and shot accuracy across lighting conditions. The front blade sits noticeably narrower at 0.145 inches than the rear notch at 0.170 inches, which visually isolates the front post and speeds up your sight picture. XS also blackened the rear sight body to increase contrast, so your eye naturally gravitates to the glowing front tritium vial without distraction. Because the front lamp is brighter than either rear lamp, you won't fumble with sight identification in darkness—the brightest dot is always your aiming point.
Installation is straightforward: these sights work with standard sight-pusher tools or a basic hammer-and-punch setup, so you can have them fitted in a gunsmith's shop or at a qualified armorer. This is a front sight only, so confirm your rear sight is compatible before ordering. Important: these sights are designed specifically for the Kimber K6S and will not fit the K6xs model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these night sights fit my Kimber K6xs revolver?
No. These R3D sights are designed for the Kimber K6S only and are not compatible with the K6xs model. Double-check your revolver model before ordering.
Is this a complete sight set or just the front?
This is a front sight only. Your revolver must already have a rear sight, or you will need to source a compatible rear sight separately.
Why is the green option better for low-light shooting?
Green tritium delivers the brightest glow intensity in darkness, making it the superior choice for low-light and nighttime use. The orange option contrasts better in bright daylight while still remaining visible in low light, so choose based on your primary lighting environment.
Can I install these sights myself?
Yes, if you have a sight pusher tool or basic gunsmith tools (hammer and punch), installation is manageable. Many shooters prefer to have a qualified gunsmith or armorer handle the fitting to ensure proper alignment and zero.
