XS Sights R3D night sights for Glock deliver a combat-proven 3-dot sight picture built for shooters who need fast target acquisition in any light. These black sights pair a tritium-lit front post with two rear tritium lamps, creating the contrast you need whether you're training at the range in daylight or moving through low-light scenarios. The green tritium option excels in darkness, offering the brightest glow intensity for situations where ambient light is scarce—think home defense, night shooting, or low-light tactical work.
The front sight features XS's Ember Glow Dot Technology, which absorbs ambient light and glows to aid visibility in dim conditions. That front tritium lamp is intentionally brighter than the rear pair, which helps you pick up the front sight quickly in near-total darkness without accidentally targeting a rear vial. The geometry is purpose-built for speed: a 0.145-inch front blade and 0.170-inch rear notch maximize the visibility of your aiming point, especially useful when you're moving fast or under stress.
Installation is straightforward—you can press them in with a sight pusher tool, or use the time-tested hammer-and-punch method if you don't have specialty gear on hand. These sights are built to Glock's exacting spec for the 42, 43, 43X, and 48, so fit and function are guaranteed. Whether you carry one of these slim, single-stack pistols for EDC or rely on one for personal protection, R3D sights give you a major advantage when the sun goes down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my Glock 43X or 48?
Yes—the XS Sights R3D GLR014P6G sights are designed to fit Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48 pistols.
What's the difference between green and orange tritium for night sights?
Green tritium offers the brightest glow intensity and performs best in low-light and no-light conditions. Orange provides better contrast in bright daylight settings while still maintaining visibility in low light. This green-equipped model is optimized for dark-environment shooting.
Can I install these myself or do I need a gunsmith?
You can install them yourself with either a sight pusher tool or a basic hammer-and-punch setup. Many shooters handle the job at home, though a gunsmith can also do it if you prefer.
Why is the front tritium lamp brighter than the rear ones?
XS designed it this way so you can quickly identify and focus on the front sight in darkness without accidentally mixing it up with a rear sight vial. The brighter front lamp speeds up your sight picture acquisition when light is scarce.
