XS 24/7 Express Sights

Just looking for a general feedback on these "Dot the I" night sights. If anyone has them mounted, let me know. Like or dislike? I've got a set for my Glock 19. Would like the feedback before I go and mount them. Thanks.

Haven't tried them on a handgun, used them on a shotgun a lot.

Give us a write up if you try them out!

Depending on when I install them, I'll give a brief on sight picture, functionality etc.

YAY!!! I got the XS 24/7 sights mounted. The front sight is IMPOSSIBLE to miss seeing. I would have to compare it to having a ping pong ball on the front of your slide. The rear sight is quite adequete. I kinda wish it was a little bit "more" but the attention is going to the front sight anyway. After firing approximately 100-150 rds. with the new sights on I was quite impressed. I did most of it in my back yard during low light and with my flaslight. These are not competition sights if anyone is curious. These are combat sights. You are NOT going to make a 50 round hole at 25 yards with them. What you will get is a BIG ass white dot covering center mass...and your shots will be within that BIG ASS white dot. Real simple...dot the I, AIM and squeeze the trigger. Pretty simple. I freakin love these and I should have bought them years ago. My next purchase, toys wise, will be a set of them for my Glock 26. Precision shooting is okay...Point shooting was fantastic. As long as you hold low at the 25 yard line(example...FBI "Q" target, the milk bottle) Keep the "Q" above the top edge of the front sight to hit center. If you hold dead on at 25 yds., you will hit low. That is due to the thickness of the sight. From 15 yds and closer....hold dead nuts center and you'll be fine. I tried strong hand unsupported, weak hand unsupported....as long as that BIG ASS white dot is on target...you're hittin it! The rear sight is a little bit small for emergency issues such as racking it off the back of the heel. Go to www.xssights.com for more info.
