Description
The XS R3D 2.0 is the second-generation upgrade to XS Sights' popular notch-and-post night sight, purpose-cut for the Canik TP9 SF. It runs self-luminous tritium lamps in both the front and rear, so you always have a reference in low or no light. What sets the front apart is the 0.145-inch post wrapped in a photoluminescent green Glow Dot around the tritium vial. That Glow Dot soaks up ambient light and glows on its own, giving you a front sight that pops in daylight and stays visible in the dark.
What Makes the R3D 2.0 Front Sight Pull Your Eye Downrange
The whole system is tuned to keep your focus where it belongs. The front sight glows brighter than the rear on purpose, using slightly larger, brighter tritium up front while the two rear dots stay dialed back so they never outshine it. The rear also gets a 0.170-inch wide U-notch with a serrated, blacked-out face. That wider notch leaves more daylight around the front post for faster alignment, and the serrations cut glare in bright conditions.
Built Tough Enough for Everyday Carry on Your Canik TP9 SF
These are CNC-machined from solid steel bar stock, then given a Black Nitride finish that offers noticeably better corrosion resistance than the old black oxide treatment. That matters if you carry in humid weather or sweat through a summer. The set is engineered to take years of drawing, shooting, and general abuse without walking loose in the dovetail.
Easy Install and a Long Warranty on the R3D 2.0 Set
XS built its EasyPress feature into the dovetail, pairing a lead-in edge with a crush zone so installation takes up to 50 percent less force than the original R3D. No filing, no fighting with a punch. You can press them in with a standard sight pusher, and XS backs the tritium with a 12-year illumination warranty. Fits the TP9 SF, SFX, SF Elite, and SC, though it is not made for the SFx Rival series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the R3D 2.0 night sights fit my Canik TP9 SF?
Yes, this set is cut specifically for the Canik TP9 SF and also fits the SFX, SF Elite, and SC. Just keep in mind it is not designed for the SFx Rival series. If you are unsure which Canik you have, check the slide markings before ordering.
How hard are these XS R3D 2.0 sights to install at home?
XS built an EasyPress feature into the dovetail that pairs a lead-in edge with a crush zone, cutting installation force by up to 50 percent compared to the original R3D. Most folks can press them in with a standard sight pusher without any filing or hammering. If you would rather not tackle it yourself, any gunsmith can knock it out in a few minutes.
Do the R3D 2.0 sights glow without a battery?
They do. The tritium lamps in the front and rear are self-luminous and glow on their own in low light with no batteries or charging needed. The green front Glow Dot is also photoluminescent, so it soaks up ambient light for an extra boost of brightness.
How long will the tritium stay bright?
XS backs the tritium illumination with a 12-year warranty. Tritium naturally dims over its lifespan, but you can count on a solid, usable glow for years of carry and range time.
