XS Sights’ Pink Big Dot Night Sight Supports Breast Cancer Foundation
XS Sights is offering an exclusive pink version of its DXT2 Big Dot Tritium Night Sight in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (NBCF ). The company’s “Aim for Hope” initiative runs through the month of October. XS Sights is committed through this campaign to donating a minimum of $3,000 to NBCF and the programs they provide. The foundation’s focus is on early detection, education and support services.Â
This XS Sights Model Offers Excellent Visibility
The popular XS DXT2 Big Dot Tritium Night Sights offer the best front sight visibility in all light conditions. The design of the sight – a large dot that is 0.188” in diameter with high-contrast front and a low-profile V-notch rear – coupled with the technology used in the proprietary photoluminescent glow dot that surrounds the tritium, drive the focus to the front sight and downrange threat in any light.
The limited-edition pink color is more than a statement of support, it offers a high-contrast sight picture when shooting in bright light conditions and maintains its visibility well in decreasing light levels. In low light, the Pink Big Dot glows white to provide contrast against the green tritium. The photoluminescent properties absorb all ambient light, even from the tritium, intensifying the charge of the glow properties of the dot.Â
This combination ensures the front sight will glow brighter than the rear to increase focus towards the front sight and the threat.
Another advantage of the XS Big Dot design is the dot-the “i” sight picture, with a tritium dot in the front sight and a tritium bar in the rear. This helps prevent confusing the front and rear sight in high-stress situations.
In most gunfights, the victim and attacker are both moving and the wide field of view offered by the shallow V rear of the Big Dot increases the visibility of the front sight and the threat downrange.
Spreading Awareness Of Breast Cancer
“As a majority women-owned business, we are blessed to have the opportunity to support NBCF in helping women facing the cancer fight,” said Kellie Brunn, co-owner of XS Sights. “Our family has first-hand experience with the impact of the cancer journey and most important the benefit of a supportive network and the hope it provides. We are grateful to have this opportunity to support NBCF in providing resources during this life-changing experience as so many have done for our loved ones.”
XS also wants to help bring awareness to women about the importance of carrying a firearm for self-defense. Michelle Waldran, a Team Walther Shooter, handgun instructor, and XS Sights Ambassador, said, “Starting your journey as a female gun owner or just making the decision to carry a gun for self-defense can be overwhelming and scary.  The key to safe gun ownership is knowledge. Prepare yourself by acquiring safe practices, elevated situational awareness, and training. It’s a lifestyle dedication.”
