Xs Sight Systems R3D Night Sight For Kimber K6 Revolver Orange
$102.49
The XS Sights R3D night sight for Kimber K6 revolver combines traditional tritium illumination with modern glow-in-the-dark technology for faster target acquisition in any light. This orange-ring front sight is built for shooters who need reliable low-light performance without sacrificing daylight sight picture clarity. The R3D system uses a three-dot tritium arrangement with a blacked-out rear sight to maximize contrast and keep your focus on the front post—exactly what you want when speed matters.
What sets the R3D apart is its dual-light approach: tritium vials provide constant glow regardless of ambient light, while the Ember Glow Dot Technology in the orange front ring absorbs available light and glows brighter as conditions darken. The orange ring design excels in bright daylight by providing superior contrast, while maintaining enough visibility for low-light work. The front sight tritium lamp is brighter than the rear vials, eliminating confusion when acquiring targets in darkness. Precise dimensions—a 0.145" front blade and 0.170" rear notch—give you a wider sight picture than standard revolvers, speeding up target location whether you're at the range, hunting, or training for self-defense.
Installation is straightforward: use a sight pusher tool or the traditional hammer-and-punch method. This sight is engineered specifically for the Kimber K6 revolver in .357 Magnum and will not fit K6xs models, so verify your platform before ordering.

No. These R3D sights are designed specifically for the Kimber K6 revolver and will not fit K6xs models. Verify your revolver platform before purchase.
What's the difference between orange and green R3D sights?
