#AftermarketSights

The Kimber K6s was dubbed the world’s lightest 6-shot .357 Magnum revolver at the time of its launch and has only been succeeded slightly by the ever-so-slightly smaller K6s revolver. However, what the K6xs lacks is a true rear iron sight. Last time we did an XS Sight review we took a look at the Taurus 605 Defender with the dedicated Taurus front Glow Dot. Like the K6XS, the Taurus also doesn’t have a true rear iron sight, instead, both pistols have trench-style rear sights which can be difficult to get a solid sight picture on if accuracy is your goal. In stark opposition to both of those revolvers, the K6s features a replaceable and drift adjustable rear iron sight and XS Sights just happens to make their XS R3D Night sights for that particular platform. So today we’ll be talking about those and see what advantages or disadvantages they might offer you should you choose to make the upgrade over the standard sights that the K6s ships with.

Strike Industries produces lots of aftermarket handgun and rifle parts for virtually every platform you can imagine at this point. Strike Industries just announced their new Taurus G2/G3 standard height replacement sights. The new sights are intended to be an affordable replacement for your OEM sights that also improve the overall function of your handgun by providing you with a more natural sight picture.

TFBTV and TFB covered the new IWI Masada Slim earlier this year, both upon its release and in person at NRAAM 2022. The IWI Masada Slim is IWI’s offering to the micro-compact 9mm market and comes straight from the factory with a great trigger and two 13-round standard capacity magazines. Meprolight, a long-time producer of high-quality optical systems for both rifles and pistols, has just announced the introduction of new Hyper-Bright sights for both the IWI Masada Slim and the full-size Masada pistols.

The SA-35 handgun from Springfield Armory made waves late last year when it was officially unveiled to the public. Those who had been seeking a Hi-Power pistol were finally able to get their hands on something authentic to the original design, but with a few modernized changes. My initial experiences with the handgun did in fact give me that authentic Hi-Power feeling with its natural pointability, fit in the hand, and crisp, light single-action trigger pull. If you’re planning on carrying the SA-35 or find yourself struggling a bit to quickly pick up a sight picture, perhaps a small upgrade is in order. XS Sights recently released their XS R3D night sights for the SA-35 pistol, and today we’ll be taking a quick gander at them on the SA-35 to see what kind of benefits they offer over the standard sights Springfield currently offers.

With the increase in ownership of NFA items like suppressors and the increase in red dot-equipped pistols, suppressor height and co-witness height sights have become a much more popular option for pistol iron sights. The new Tyrant Designs Suppressor Height + Co-Witness sights have just been released for those who field a pistol suppressor or red dot-equipped Glock pistol.

Upgrading your sights is one of the easiest, least expensive, and helpful upgrades you can make to your pistol. For those who prefer Smith & Wesson handguns, a new iron sight option has entered the arena. Adding to their line of iron sights, Strike Industries now offers standard and suppressor height sights for several models of S&W pistols.

AMERIGLO has been in the business of providing customers with aftermarket sight options for quite a while now. Their product line is pretty expansive and covers sights for handguns in a bunch of different configurations from standard sights all the way up to tritium nights sights. During an event I attended that was hosted by AMERIGLO, representatives from the company announced that they would be rebranding and reorganizing the company to focus more on self-defense applications and provide their customers with a simpler product lineup so they can easily find what they need.

If you’ve been following the flurry of new products coming from Strike Industries lately, you have probably seen the Glock iron sights I wrote about previously. Well, the same option is now available for SIG P320 shooters. The Strike Industries P320 iron sights come in both standard and suppressor height, and are ready for your newest build.
