New Low Light Capable Taurus GX4 Night Sights from XS Sights
Luke Cuenco 11.03.21
When it comes to carrying a concealed or open carry handgun, you never know when you’ll have to take a shot. That is why one of the first things I tend to swap out on my carry guns is the standard sights for night sights. During this time of the year when it is getting darker earlier and earlier in the day, night sights can help you reliably and accurately acquire a target during the waning hours of the day when less light is available and should push come to shove, the new GX4 Night Sights from XS Sights can also help you defend your home in the dark of the night with more confidence and accuracy.
New Low Light Capable Taurus GX4 Night Sights from XS Sights
XS sights give shooters an advantage 24/7 thanks to the company’s proprietary sight technology. XS’s photoluminescent Glow Dot surrounds the tritium vial in the front sight and activates even before the tritium does, giving defensive shooters an edge in any light, day or night.
DXT2 Big Dot
The Big Dot leads the industry in size and has a self-illuminating tritium center surrounded by XS’s photoluminescent Glow Dot technology which drives focus to the front sight. The Big Dot is available in Optic Yellow or Optic Orange. The DXT2 Standard Dot is available in Green. All DXT2 sights feature a V-notch rear with vertical tritium stripe, creating a dot-the-“i” sight picture and eliminating the possibility of confusing the front and rear sights in high-stress situations.
R3D
The R3D has a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture. The rear sight is blacked out to increase contrast against the front sight which is available in bright Orange or Green. The brightly colored Glow Dot in the front sight is a much brighter color which differentiates the front tritium dot from the two rear tritium dots.
Minimalist
The minimalist has a self-illuminating tritium vial in the front sight surrounded by an Orange photoluminescent Glow Dot and blacked-out, serrated, non-tritium rear sight.
DXW2
DXW2 tritium night sights are available with a Big Dot (Orange or Yellow) or Standard Dot (Green) front sight with a white stripe, non-tritium rear sight. The white stripe offers superior visibility of the vertical bar, which aids in sight alignment in bright light settings and performs well in low light. The increased surface area of the white stripe also enhances visibility for shooters with farsighted vision issues.
XS Sights will be offering nearly their full lineup that they have offered to match with every other micro-compact 9mm pistol currently on the market including the DXT2 Big Dot, R3D, Minimalist, and the DXW2. All of their sights will be backed by a 10-year no-questions-asked warranty as well as XS’s 30-day satisfaction guarantee. All of the sights released for the GX4 will also be compatible with the Taurus G3c if you still happen to be running one of those.
Each of these options varies in price, but the least expensive option would be the R3D Night Sights which feature a standard 3-dot configuration with a large glow dot front sight which starts at $59.99. Other options including the GXT2 Big Dot can go for as much as $132 depending on the options selected. More information, as well as ordering information, can be found at xssights.com.
