Back in the day, we used to paint our front sights white or red if we wanted to see them better. Times have changed, and now fiber optics are a much better option. They really do stand out, and work even in fairly low light. Fiber Optic inserts work great for all ages, but especially as I get older I appreciate the help in finding that front sight. XS Sights just dropped a new set of fiber optic sights for Glocks, and it just so happens that I shoot a lot of Glocks and Glock pattern pistols.

The XS Glock Fiber Optic Sights are CNC machined from steel, and have a serrated rear and a green fiber optic front insert. They come with an optional red insert if you’re not a fan of green. Personally, I think green stands out better against most backgrounds compared to red, but XS Sights gives you the option of either.

Now, these are fiber optic only, they’re not a night sight, although XS Sights has plenty of options for those if that’s what you need. The Fiber Optic Sights are designed for competition or training use, or just for folks who like to go to the range and plink. I will say though, although they aren’t geared towards home defense or concealed carry, I have found fiber optic inserts still do pretty well as long as you do have some ambient light like from a handheld or weapon light, street lights, or some form of inside lighting. If you have a a dedicated defense gun, grab some XS Tritiums, but if your range gun doubles as your house gun, these will still work better than the factory irons on your Glock. After all, if you don’t have any light  you won’t be able to ID your target and shouldn’t be shooting anyway.

The XS Glock Fiber Optic Sights have an MSRP of $69.95 which is about half of what a lot of night sights run, and you’re getting a steel sight as opposed to Glock’s factory plastic sights, so that’s a nice upgrade right there.
