The XS Standard Dot Brass bead front sight harkens back to the classic hard use sights of the mid-20th century. Before fiber optics light pipes, before phosphorescent or photoluminescent paint, before tritium, a gold or brass bead front sight was the original high visibility front sight. Brass is tough, durable, and is easily acquired in most lighting conditions. The XS Brass bead front sight takes the classic concept and adapts it to their Standard Dot front sight. Precision CNC machining of both the sight body and brass bead means a precise fit and a lifetime of service. The Standard Dot Brass Bead front sight has no batteries or tritium lamps to die out after time.
