XS TS-0003N-4G STD DOT TRIT TAUR 856 605 GRN
$68.89
The XS Sights Standard Dot night sights for Taurus 856 and 605 revolvers combine proven night-sight technology with a larger sight picture designed for quick target acquisition in any light. These fixed sights pair a tritium lamp—always-on luminescence that requires no charging—with a photoluminescent green Glow Dot that absorbs ambient light and glows in darkness. The result is a sight that works reliably from broad daylight to pitch black, with no batteries or charging needed.
Built for shooters who depend on their revolver for personal defense or duty work, the Standard Dot design features a convex profile that increases surface area and maximizes light absorption, making the green dot brighter and easier to pick up quickly under stress. The larger sight profile also appeals to shooters dealing with presbyopia, age-related vision changes, or simply anyone who benefits from a bolder sight picture. Unlike standard factory sights, these are engineered to stay visible when it matters most—low light encounters.
Installation is straightforward: the replacement front sight is pre-drilled to accept the factory retention pin on Taurus 856 and 605 revolvers, so you can swap it out at home without gunsmithing or special tools. No fitting required. If your revolver has a factory pinned front sight, this is a direct upgrade path to night-sight capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my Taurus 856 or 605 revolver?
Yes. These sights are designed specifically for the Taurus 856 and 605 and feature a pre-drilled hole for the factory retention pin, making them a direct replacement for the original front sight on these models.
Do I need a gunsmith to install them?
No. Because the sights are pre-drilled and the Taurus factory uses a pinned front sight, you can perform the swap yourself at home with basic tools. No special fitting is required.
How do the sights work in complete darkness?
These sights use tritium, a radioactive isotope that generates its own light continuously and requires no external power or charging. The green Glow Dot also absorbs available ambient light (even low levels) to enhance visibility. Together, they work in any lighting condition from daylight to total darkness.
Are these sights adjustable?
No. The Standard Dot is a fixed sight with no windage or elevation adjustment. They are set for your revolver's point of aim as designed.
