Anybody Using XS Sights?

[Pops1911]

Happy New Year All. I am considering swapping out the stock sights on a CZ 75B for a set of XS sights. I don't like the looks of XS's Big Dot sight. However, the regular sized dot the "i" sights look interesting. I would appreciate anyone who has/is using these sights. The CZ is used for CC. To keep a New Year resolution I will not spend money anymore on an unfamiliar product just to check it out.
Thanks- Pops

I have the XS Bigdots on my Glock 26 & 22. They are fast to aquire the target but I haven't got the hang of using them for precision. I'm keeping them on my carry Glocks but my next Glock will have the Trijicon HD sights on them: http://www.amazon.com/Trijicon-Night-Sight-Glock-Pistols/dp/B004W5D830

I think they're pretty neat. Scary fast and plenty accurate. I've got the standard/non-big dot set on a Browning Hi-Power.

Yeah I have a set of those Trijicons for a CZ on my wish list on Amazon. My eyes don't quickly "read" 3 dot sights. That's why I was considering the XS. I understand that the XS sights are not meant for precision. However, I would hope that for combat accuracy they would be good.

Totally combat accuracy and then some. If you have old eyes like me you'll dig how fast they are.

I like the Trijicons the best, but you should train to point-shoot nonetheless.

With the XS you can't help but see the front sight.. it's kinda like using a dot sight on a rifle.

I don't need to see the booger stuck on the end of my finger to know where it's pointing.

They are designed after the old school African dangerous game hunter express sight for fast up close target acquisition, but they are lacking for precision shooting and in the words of LAV "Speed is fine, but accuracy is final."

I wouldn't put them on a Hammerli free pistol but for practical shooting, they are plenty accurate.. and exceedingly fast.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Wax on wax off.

I gave up waxing off a couple yahrs ago...

I had the XS dots on an M&P 9 full-size rig. I installed them because I didn't like the 3-dot setup either. I found them to be very quick and easy to align, and accurate as well. I also put the XS Big Dots on an M&P shield (my CCW) and they worked very well.

Look out, we have DOCTOR T-ZONE inna house!!

Plenty accurate for center of mass, but lacking a little when "T-zone" Flaccid paralysis is critical.

Speak for yourself.

Why'dya Burp?

Why'dya Burp?

Because iron sights are scopes or optics?

An XS sight is kinda like a dot sight on a pistol or carbine though. So it was probably proper enough.

I like mine.

I make precision shots with the top edge of the front sight. Like all my other guns.
Why would a big red dot change that?
