Core offering

XS Sight Systems designs, CNC-machines, and assembles tritium and photoluminescent night sights for handguns, revolvers, shotguns, and rifles, alongside complementary gunsmithing tools, optic mounting plates, levergun handguards, and installation services. All products are manufactured in-house at the Fort Worth, TX facility and sold primarily direct-to-consumer through xssights.com and through an authorized dealer network.

Product overview

XS Sight Systems is a second-generation, family-owned firearms accessories manufacturer based in Fort Worth, TX, specializing in high-performance tritium night sights and gunsmithing tools. The product portfolio centers on multiple sight series (DXT2 PRO, R3D 2.0, DXT2, DXW2, DXT, F8, and Minimalist) for handguns, revolvers, shotguns, and rifles, complemented by ghost ring aperture sights and optic mounting solutions for lever-action hunting rifles. Supporting products include sight installation tools, sight pusher kits, magazine extensions, levergun handguards, and AR tools. The company operates as a single-product-category manufacturer without a platform architecture; all products share a common focus on American-made, CNC-machined steel construction with proprietary Glow Dot photoluminescent technology and 12-year tritium warranties.
