XS Sights R3D Suppressor Height Gen2 Armorer's Block

New from XS Sights is the R3D line of tritium night sights for GLOCK pistols. They’re tall to accommodate suppressors and/or pistol mounted optics. Also, a really slick “Armorers Block for AR Platforms Gen 2,” which is a single piece of kit that works for both upper and lower receivers of both AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles. Nice.

Small vials in the rear with a big, bright front. I dig this. My preferred sight setup is a black rear and a bright front, but when it’s dark that doesn’t give you any idea where the rear sight is. This setup is effectively a best of both worlds scenario, with unobtrusive rear dots during the day that glow bright at night.

By switching the armorers block around in various directions, the user makes it fit whatever upper or lower they need it to.

Considering I have a box full of different parts for different uppers and different lowers, each with their own, this is great.

It’s machined from aluminum with polymer spacers for certain parts. There are various ways of firmly affixing the upper or lower to the block.

Cool design!
