Unless you're doing precision shooting, just put the front sight on the target and press the trigger. No need to waste time lining up the sights. ;) If your target is farther than 15 yards then the rear sight become more important.

Thanks Major, I bought this gun as LNIB, the PO had installed these aftermarket XS sights.
I would have preferred the OEM 3 dot, but at the time that was not the option and getting that gun off consignment was a sweet deal.
So, I suppose I've had prejudice opinion, and thinking I would prefer night sights
Then when I priced Tritium I was sticker shocked.

 In the end, it's pay up or get along with the XS Combat.   :-\

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

I was looking at night sights, also. Decided to stay with the sights on it, like you, because of the price.  :(

'Tis 32 and overcast. "Mostly cloudy. A chance of flurries in the morning. A chance of sprinkles. Highs in the lower 40s. Northwest wind 10 to 20 mph with gusts to around 30 mph."

Yes Sir, replacement XS night sights would be north of $150.00.
 Same sight picture except the rear would be the same single tick but would glow at night.

Better two dot Trijicon HD™ Night Sights are $183.00  :o

At those numbers I suppose I'll get over the notion  ::)

I knew a fellow that had the same sights. He painted the entire rear sight with Trijicon's glowy paint, and swore by it. I never could get anything more than "minute of bad guy" with the set up, but he could pop cans all day.

   I was told recently that I'm "livelier than a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest."    Is that an insult or a compliment?

My Bride and I went to on one our favorite places today. It's a Preserve (park) in Apollo Beach, Florida. It's located on the water across the bay from Tampa, 25 minutes from our home. We usually bring a lunch and sit under a canopy. Nice views of downtown Tampa. Great place to relax. This is one of the reasons we moved to Florida. My Bride loves the seashore. Today the temp was 74.
