Description
The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot takes a different approach than the fiddly three-dot setup that comes on most carry guns. Instead of trying to line up three glowing dots under stress, you get one big, bright front dot and a shallow V rear. You drop the dot into the V, and you're on target. It's the kind of sight picture that makes sense when your eyes are drawn downrange and there's no time to think.
The front sight is where this system earns its keep. A green tritium vial sits inside a large Optic Yellow photoluminescent ring measuring 0.188 inches across. The convex shape gives the dot extra surface area, so it pulls in more ambient light and glows harder in dim conditions. XS found in their own testing that the yellow front tends to glow the brightest in low light, which is exactly what you want on a gun that lives on your hip. The tritium keeps working in full dark, and it's backed by a 12-year warranty on the glow.
Why the DXT2 Big Dot Works for Aging Eyes
If you've noticed factory sights getting harder to pick up, you're not alone, and this is exactly the problem the DXT2 was built to solve. The oversized front dot is easy to find fast, and the uncluttered V rear keeps your eye from bouncing between reference points. Folks who've struggled with traditional notch-and-post sights tend to appreciate how quickly the big dot jumps out.
Fitment and Build on the DXT2 for Walther
This set is cut for the Walther CCP, PPS, and PPS M2 in 9mm and .40 S&W. Note it will not fit the CCP .380. The sights are machined from durable steel with a matte black finish that cuts glare and resists corrosion. XS uses a slip-fit design that many people install at home with basic tools, though if you'd rather not fuss with a dovetail, a gunsmith can knock it out quickly. Either way, this is a straightforward upgrade that pays off every time you draw in low light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Walther pistols does the DXT2 Big Dot fit?
This set is designed for the Walther CCP, PPS, and PPS M2 in 9mm and .40 S&W. It will not fit the CCP chambered in .380. Double-check your exact model before ordering to be sure you're covered.
Can I install the DXT2 Big Dot sights myself?
Many people install XS DXT2 sights at home thanks to the slip-fit design and included tools like the hex wrench, front sight tool, and threadlocker. That said, dovetail sights can be tight, so if you're not comfortable working on your slide, a gunsmith can handle the swap quickly. Take your time and use the included instructions.
Why choose yellow instead of orange for the front dot?
XS found in their testing that the orange front is most visible in bright daylight, while the yellow front glows the brightest and absorbs the most light in low-light conditions. If your main concern is a bright, fast dot after the sun goes down, yellow is a strong pick. Both use the same green tritium vial for full darkness.
How long does the tritium last on the DXT2 Big Dot?
The tritium illumination is warranted to glow for 12 years, and the photoluminescent Glow Dot charges from ambient light with no batteries needed. Between the two, you get a front sight that stays visible as your eyes adjust to low light and keeps glowing in full dark. It's a set-it-and-forget-it setup for a carry gun.
