Description
The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot is a full front-and-rear set built to get your eyes on the front sight quicker than a factory setup ever will. The oversized 0.188-inch front dot in optic yellow grabs your focus instantly, and the shallow V-notch rear stays out of the way so you get a wide, uncluttered view of everything downrange. It's a system designed around a simple idea: dot the "i" and press the trigger. That kind of speed matters when you're moving and your attention is pulled to a threat instead of a tidy three-dot picture.
What Makes the DXT2 Big Dot Different
Both the front and rear carry tritium, so you get a self-illuminating glow that doesn't need batteries and keeps working for years. The front dot also uses XS's photoluminescent Glow Dot, which soaks up ambient light and stays bright in that tricky dusk-to-dark window before it's dark enough for tritium to take over. Yellow is the standout here for low light. It's highly reflective and charges the glow faster and brighter than other colors, which is why a lot of folks with aging eyes gravitate toward this set.
Built Tough for the Beretta 92 Vertec and 92A1
The sight bodies are CNC-machined from steel bar stock and finished with a blued coating, so they hold up to drops, racking off barricades, and years of carry. The rear sight includes a ledge that lets you rack the slide one-handed off a belt, holster, or table edge if you ever need to. Even with the larger front dot, the profile is rounded with no sharp edges, so it won't snag on clothing during a draw and still fits in most common holsters.
Fitment and Setup for Your DXT2 Sights
This exact set is cut for the Beretta 92 Vertec and 92A1 front dovetail, so double-check your model before ordering since the standard 92 and 96 use a different set. Installation may require light filing to fit the front sight to the dovetail, and XS specifically recommends against using a sight press or pusher tool. If you're not comfortable doing that work, a good gunsmith will have you squared away in short order. The whole thing is backed by XS's 10-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this DXT2 Big Dot set fit my Beretta 92FS?
This particular set is machined for the Beretta 92 Vertec and 92A1 front dovetail. The standard 92 and 96, including the 92FS, use a different XS part number, so you'll want to confirm your exact model before ordering. XS also notes this Vertec/92A1 set should work with the Beretta Brigadier.
Why choose the yellow front sight over orange?
Yellow is the brightest performer in low light because it's highly reflective and charges the Glow Dot faster than any other color. Orange tends to show better contrast in bright daylight against varied backgrounds. If your main concern is dusk and nighttime visibility, yellow is the way to go.
Does the DXT2 Big Dot need batteries?
No. Both the front and rear sights are tritium-powered, so they self-illuminate around the clock with no batteries required. The front also has a photoluminescent Glow Dot that absorbs ambient light and keeps glowing in that low-light window before it's dark enough for the tritium to be the star.
How hard is the DXT2 to install?
The rear often slides into the dovetail without much fuss, but the front sight may require some light filing to fit its dovetail properly. XS specifically says not to use a sight press or pusher tool for these. If you're not set up for that kind of work, having a gunsmith handle the install is a smart move.
