The XS Sights SightXTI2 DXW is a 45 degree offset back-up iron sight (BUIS) set designed for optic-ready AR-15 rifles. The set pairs a tritium-powered front sight with a non-tritium rear sight to support sight alignment in varied lighting conditions. Its lightweight, ambidextrous design and top-rail bolt-on installation make it suitable as a compact, dependable backup to primary optics.
