XS Sights F8 Night Sights for Glock 42 Handguns

The XS Sights F8 Night Sights for Glock 42 handguns combine fast target acquisition with genuine low-light performance, using tritium illumination and an intuitive sight picture designed for both deliberate aim and rapid-fire strings. The F8 system puts an orange-ringed front sight front and center—literally and visually—so your eyes naturally settle where they need to be, whether you're shooting in daylight or in conditions where ambient light is scarce. This sight design cuts through the noise and helps you focus where it matters most during dynamic shooting.

The front sight's bright, contrasting ring makes the sight picture unmistakable day or night, reducing the mental load of sight alignment during high-speed engagements or when precision matters. Paired with a ledge-style rear sight, the F8 geometry creates a natural, repeatable sight picture that works for shooters of all skill levels. The rear sight also doubles as a one-handed racking edge, a practical feature for pistol manipulation if you ever need to chamber a round or clear a malfunction without a second hand available.

These sights are purpose-built for the Glock 42, one of the most popular concealed-carry .380 ACP pistols on the market. Whether you carry for self-defense, shoot steel, or run your Glock at the range, night sights eliminate the guesswork in low-light scenarios and sharpen your sight picture when it counts.
