Description
The XS Sights R3D 2.0 for the HK P30 is a second-generation tritium night sight set built to drive your focus downrange and keep the front sight easy to pick up whether you're in broad daylight or total darkness. It runs a proven notch and post layout: a wide green dual-illuminated Glow Dot up front, backed by two tritium dots in a blacked-out, serrated rear. The green front pulls double duty by absorbing ambient light through its photoluminescent ring while the Swiss-made tritium vial keeps glowing when the lights are out. Green is the pick if low-light glow intensity matters most to you, since it puts out the brightest visible light of the color options.
What Sets the R3D 2.0 Apart from the Original
XS didn't just recolor the first-gen sight. The rear tritium dots are bigger and brighter than the originals, and each one is wrapped in a PVC ring that sharpens the edge and helps your eye tell the front dot from the rear pair. The front vial stays brighter than the two in the rear, which cuts down on the chance of confusing your front reference in a hurry. The 0.145-inch front post paired with a wide 0.170-inch rear notch leaves plenty of light on either side for fast alignment when the pressure's on.
Built to Take a Beating on Your HK P30
These are machined from solid steel and wear a BlackNitride finish that shrugs off corrosion far better than the old black oxide treatment, so sweaty summer carry and humid range days won't chew them up. The blacked-out serrated rear knocks down glare in bright sun, and the forward edge doubles as a ledge you can hook on a belt or holster to rack the slide one-handed.
Easy Enough to Install at Home
The EasyPress design is the real quality-of-life upgrade here. A built-in crush zone and lead-in edge on the rear dovetail cut the force needed to seat the sight by up to 50 percent, so most folks can get these on with a sight pusher and skip the filing and heavy hammering. This set fits standard-height HK P30 slides and is backed by a 12-year warranty on the tritium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the R3D 2.0 fit my HK P30?
This set is cut for the standard-height HK P30 slide and uses the factory sight dovetails. XS designed the R3D 2.0 platform around HK's P30, VP9, 45, and 45C family, so as long as you've got a standard non-optic P30 slide, you're good to go. If your pistol is optics-ready or you run a suppressor, double-check that you want a standard-height set before ordering.
How is the green front different from the orange option?
Both colors use the same tritium and photoluminescent Glow Dot setup, so the difference comes down to how they read in different light. Green gives you the brightest low-light glow and is the go-to if darkness performance is your priority. Orange tends to contrast a little better in bright daylight, so it comes down to where and when you expect to shoot most.
Can I install these myself or do I need a gunsmith?
The R3D 2.0 was built with home installation in mind. Its EasyPress design uses a crush zone and lead-in edge to cut the required press force by up to 50 percent, which usually means no filing or heavy hammering. A sight pusher tool makes the job clean and easy, though the front sight may still need a bit of fitting depending on your slide.
How long will the tritium stay bright?
The tritium vials are self-luminous and rated to glow for around 12 years, and XS backs that with a 12-year warranty on the tritium. Like all tritium, it slowly dims over its life, but the green photoluminescent ring on the front keeps charging off ambient light to help pick up the glow. That combo gives you a dependable low-light reference for years of everyday carry.
