Description

The XS Sights Minimalist Night Sights strip a handgun sight picture down to what matters most: a bright, easy-to-find front dot and a clean rear that stays out of the way. Built for the Glock 43X and 48 (and they'll fit the 42 and 43 too), this set pairs a self-illuminating tritium front sight with XS's proprietary orange photoluminescent Glow Dot. That Glow Dot absorbs ambient light and glows in the dark, so the front sight stays visible around the clock without any batteries to worry about.

What the Minimalist Setup Does Differently

Instead of the traditional three-dot layout, these run a serrated, blacked-out non-tritium rear. The idea is simple: fewer glowing points means less distraction, so your eye naturally lands on that orange front dot. The machined serrations on the rear face cast small shadows that cut glare from bright backlighting, and the rear notch runs a touch wider than the front post to give you a little more light on each side for cleaner alignment. If you shoot with a red dot, the plain rear keeps your focus on the reticle rather than competing tritium lamps.

Built Tough for Everyday Carry

Every XS Minimalist sight is CNC machined from solid steel bar stock at their shop in Fort Worth, Texas, so it holds up to daily carry and cleaning far better than the plastic factory sights it replaces. The rear sight also has a built-in ledge, which comes in handy for one-handed slide manipulations if you ever need to rack off a belt or boot heel. It's a favorite pick for concealed carry and works great as a backup iron sight setup on an optics-ready slide.

Fitting Them to Your Glock

These install into the standard dovetails on your 43X or 48 using a sight pusher or a hammer and brass punch. It's a doable job at home if you've got the right tools, though a lot of folks like to have a gunsmith knock it out in a few minutes. Once they're seated and centered, you're set with a low-light-ready sight picture that's quick to pick up in any lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these Minimalist night sights fit my Glock 48 and 43X?

Yes, this GL-M019P-4N set is made for the Glock 43X and 48, and the same part also covers the Glock 42 and 43. It works across Gen 1 through 6, including MOS optics-ready models. Just make sure you're ordering the standard height version for iron-sight use.

Do I need batteries or do these charge somehow?

No batteries at all. The front sight uses a self-illuminating tritium vial that glows on its own, plus an orange photoluminescent Glow Dot that soaks up light during the day and glows in low light. Between the two, the front stays visible around the clock.

Why is the rear sight blacked out instead of having dots?

That's the whole point of the Minimalist design. A plain serrated rear removes competing focus points so your eye snaps straight to the bright orange front dot, which speeds up target acquisition. The serrations also fight glare from bright backlighting for a cleaner sight picture.

Can I install these Minimalist sights myself?

You can if you've got a sight pusher or a hammer and brass punch, since they seat into the factory dovetails on your 43X or 48. Many owners handle it at home, but if you don't have the tools it's a quick job for a gunsmith. Take your time centering the rear notch for the best results.
