The XS Sights Standard Dot is engineered for Taurus 856 and 605 revolvers equipped with factory pinned front sights. This tritium night sight combines photoluminescent illumination that charges from ambient light with a high-contrast colored dot, delivering visibility in low-light conditions.
Precision machined in Fort Worth, TX, the Standard Dot measures 0.140″ wide and is constructed from CNC machined steel bar stock. The sight arrives pre-drilled and factory-drilled for the retention pin, enabling straightforward at-home installation without gunsmithing. Steel construction withstands drops and contact with barricades, while the blued finish resists corrosion with routine cleaning and maintenance.
The Standard Dot’s profile sits larger than typical front sights for visibility under stress and for shooters with vision challenges, yet covers less of the target than the Big Dot variant, balancing sight picture clarity with target acquisition speed.
