They have great customer service. I screwed up my order and they fixed it for me. It just cost me the money to send it back. XS is a wonderful company. Thanks, Gary.
I love my big dot for ccw, people ask if they cover the target. You are not trying to shoot a antenna off a car from 50 yards. They are not the size of a coffee cup.
Good video. About what I expected. Standard dot slightly more accurate at distances, and big dot on target a little quicker. It was good to see them lined up beside each other. I have been searching for this very comparison, since I am looking at purchasing one of the two sights for a Sig p230. In the end it is always about the intended use. Mine is for CC, so I'll probably go with the big dot. Thanks for this information.
I'm getting the big one as I am getting older. I've always used the hd' s and wanted to give these a shot. The Ameriglo cap sights are on my shield. I think I'm going big for my 26. Thanks man good comparison.
Thanks for the review, I didn't even know they came with a big dot, but I'm sure I'd prefer the small dot just because I like to see as much of my target and surrounding area as possible.
Great video. Thanks for the comparison. This was the video that I was looking for. Did you install the XS sights yourself or did you have a gunsmith do it?
Great video ! I personally prefer the XS Big Dot 24/7's they just work better for me. I can still shoot well with the standard Dot. Keep the videos coming bro!
I'm late to the party. I order one, the green standard dot. I thought I ordered the big dot, not even mad. I think this is a perfect size for up close and some distance fun at the range.
Capo Jay, well covered informative review. Question. Wouldn't the big dot front sight (not the standard size sight) block out most of the target when aiming? I have yet to try them, but I do like the concept as in doting the i as I was told.
Subscribed thanks for the info. Still on the fence, but I'm leaning towards the big for for an M&P 45. I run truglos on a shield and like them, just looking for faster acquisition.
Capo Jay, do they make the rear post a different width for the sig vs the glock? I noticed the glock was wider than your sig. Or was that because the big dot width is wider than the standard?
QUESTION.Why would anyone not want tritium in the rear? Is there a valid reason behind that? Doesn't that make the sights useless at night, home defense particularly?
yea I really can't tell a difference. ..I put the small ones on my 17 and big dots on my 19s and 26's. ..it is easier for me to shoot further with the small ones it seems like. ..
I had a p320 with xs f8 sights that shot 4" high with any sight picture. I honestly hated the ultra tall sights and gave XS a call. They switched them out for the big dot sights free of charge.
Is the rear sight on the bid dot smaller or shorter than the regular dot rear sight line or is it just my old eyes. My Glock 27 is probably getting big dots very soon. Good comparison Sold me!
george dente big advantage I started realizing that the that I could shoot just as fast up close with the trijicon sights because it's really intuitive shooting and with the xs sights past ten yards my rounds were all over the place. Now I have the speed up close and the accuracy at distances . Just the way it works for me , to each his own

Nice.
Enjoyed seeing the side by side Jay. Thanks for sharing, combat sights or I-dots have always been my favorites because they're quick to pick up.
Thanks, me too brother.

Did you put the XS big dot sights on your G26 and did you like them
Thanks for the review, I didn't even know they came with a big dot, but I'm sure I'd prefer the small dot just because I like to see as much of my target and surrounding area as possible.
With both eyes open I really don't see the large dot impeding your view much.
good review. have both and prefer the standard dots as the are a bit easier to shoot at distance.
Great video. Thanks for the comparison. This was the video that I was looking for. Did you install the XS sights yourself or did you have a gunsmith do it?

Thanks J.
Thanks for the video. Been wanting to see the difference before I made the purchase.
Thanks for the side by side comparison.

Thanks for the comparison. I've been wanting to get some XS sites for my P320.
mossy nut Nice.
Excellent comparison!
Thanks.
nice review
Try the new green ones. They GLOW. Great vid, thanks.
Capo Jay, well covered informative review. Question. Wouldn't the big dot front sight (not the standard size sight) block out most of the target when aiming? I have yet to try them, but I do like the concept as in doting the i as I was told.
big dot for ccw super fast. You will be fine for cat size targets
@@imconfusedtwo9268 I’ve seen people hit 100 yard targets with 1 hand shooting they are fine just practice and learn how to use them
Subscribed thanks for the info. Still on the fence, but I'm leaning towards the big for for an M&P 45. I run truglos on a shield and like them, just looking for faster acquisition.
Cool. They will give you quick acquisition.
Capo Jay, do they make the rear post a different width for the sig vs the glock? I noticed the glock was wider than your sig. Or was that because the big dot width is wider than the standard?
Yep. Seems that each model of gun has different dimensions for the rear sight. I don't think it has anything to do with standard/big size of the dot.
QUESTION.Why would anyone not want tritium in the rear? Is there a valid reason behind that? Doesn't that make the sights useless at night, home defense particularly?
george dente Some say their eyes have issues distinguishing between the front and rear tritium.
george dente I run a tritium front with a blacked out rear never had an issue in low light
george dente probably simplicity or cost.
@@rigsby7255 why have a rear sight you cannot see? Might as well just purchase the front sight and run it that way.
thank you
Oh, the compromise of accuracy at distance and close quick target acquisition.
good video I'm going to get some, like how you showed them side by side
Thanks. Hope they work for you.
yea I really can't tell a difference. ..I put the small ones on my 17 and big dots on my 19s and 26's. ..it is easier for me to shoot further with the small ones it seems like. ..
Same here.
If you had to pick one sight over the other...what one would you prefer. XS big dot or Standard size
I had a p320 with xs f8 sights that shot 4" high with any sight picture. I honestly hated the ultra tall sights and gave XS a call. They switched them out for the big dot sights free of charge.
Same here. I hate tall sights.
Is the rear sight on the bid dot smaller or shorter than the regular dot rear sight line or is it just my old eyes. My Glock 27 is probably getting big dots very soon. Good comparison Sold me!
Yes it's shorter. Different model guns have slightly different sized/shaped sights but the effect is the same.
very interesting!
The sights, not the video :)
I'm debating whether to get the plain white rear or tritium. Is the rear just as bright as the front sight? Or a bit dimmer?
I prefer the Tritium in the rear. It helps you line up and angle the gun properly. Both seem equally bright.
@@ConfederateMafia Much appreciated.
I've never had an issue lining them up in the dark and I can tell them apart even in the dark.
Great comparison. Both are winners
Thanks, absolutely.
How wide is the xs standard dot front sight?
Good question I would like to have measurements for both of the actually just to see the size dif.
Very nice. I have to get some
Try em out.
U should caliber those front sights I'd like to know the width of then
Same here. I could make a little mock up to see which I would like better. Im leaning toward the standard.
I have poor eyesight and the big dot is like large print. Much easier to see.
Russell Condie No doubt. My eyes are getting worse and these sights definitely help.
I ran big dots for a few years switched to trijicon HD
Why? Just for a change, or did you find an advantage in switching?
george dente big advantage I started realizing that the that I could shoot just as fast up close with the trijicon sights because it's really intuitive shooting and with the xs sights past ten yards my rounds were all over the place. Now I have the speed up close and the accuracy at distances . Just the way it works for me , to each his own
great video ! cool channel , I'll subb
Right on.
I'm considering getting these for one of my Glocks probably the G26 and give them a run & if I like them put them on all my Glock pistols.
Tritium is weak in all big dots
If those were an orange front dot I'd be in
There new F8s does have an orange color, smaller then the big dots but is colored.
Dxt 2 sights have the same orange as the f8s.
They came out with dxt2. Come in orange or yellow
I'd go yellow personally with DXT2 but whatever you like.
They just came out with orange big dots
