XS Sights R3D Orange Night Sights – HK VP9 Suppressor Height

Description

Set up for HK VP9 Optic-Ready pistols, the XS Sights R3D is a traditional three-dot tritium night sight that solves the age-old problem of finding your front sight fast. The front features a bright orange Ember Glow Dot ring surrounding a tritium vial that charges off ambient light and stays glowing after dark. The orange color is picked for how well it stands out in bright daylight while still holding visibility once the sun drops, and the rear notch is blacked out to keep contrast working in your favor.

What Makes the R3D Front Sight Stand Out

XS builds the front tritium vial to burn brighter than the two rear vials on purpose. That difference keeps your eye pulling to the front where it belongs and takes the guesswork out of which dot is which in low or no light. The front blade runs 0.145 inches wide against a 0.170-inch rear notch, so there's plenty of light on either side of the post for a quick, clean pickup. Reviewers who have run these hard tend to agree that dot confusion just isn't a real concern with how loud that front dot reads.

Suppressor Height Built for Your VP9 Optics-Ready Slide

These come in suppressor/RMR height, which does two jobs. It lifts your sight line high enough to see over a mounted suppressor, and it sets you up for a lower 1/3 co-witness with popular optics like the Trijicon RMR and SRO, the Holosun 507c series, and the Vortex Viper. If your dot ever goes dark or takes a hit, you've got a real backup irons setup ready to go instead of a dead red dot and nothing else.

Steel Build That Holds Up

The R3D set is CNC machined from solid steel bar stock at XS's own shop and finished to fight off corrosion, so it holds zero and takes recoil without complaint. You can install them with a sight pusher or the classic hammer and punch method. Between carry, duty, and range time, this is a straightforward upgrade that makes your VP9 easier to run in any light.
