XS® Sights has announced the introduction of its XTI®2 DXS® Ember Standard Dot® 45-Degree Offset Iron Sights for AR-15 rifles.
The second generation XTI2 sights, according to a news release, “are a close-quarters, secondary sighting solution for rapid transition from a magnified primary optic.” This eliminates the need to adjust magnification and reduces target engagement time when fractions of a second count, the company said.
According to XS Sights, the XTI2 features taller bases than its predecessor for easier sight alignment without having to break a standard cheek weld, and the base angle has been increased to accommodate wider lens optics. The front sight measures 0.140” wide and now features an Orange Ember Glow Dot for increased visibility.
“Our new XTI2 express sights are engineered for rapid sight acquisition in close quarters,” said Zack Kinsley, Product Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “These advanced offset iron sights are also ideal for 3-gun competitions when targets are close – within pistol range and where magnified optics make target identification more difficult. XS’s proprietary Orange Ember Glow technology provides a high contrast front sight in bright light and is instantly charged by the sun’s UV rays, causing it to glow in shadows and low light settings such as vehicles.”
XTI2 sight sets are mounted in front of the primary optic to reduce snagging on chest rings. The sights ship with thread locker and a front sight adjustment tool.
