I'm wanting to replace the stock windage only rear sight on my XDs 3.3" .45. I, apparently, hold different than the rest of the modern world, thus my shots hits low (Off a rest, so I know it's not me...it's my sight picture, which I've held a 6 O'clock sight picture for too many years to change).

Anyway, any suggestions for fully adjustable rear sight, that is conceal friendly?

Providing no major milling work is required, I have replaced several sights before. My problem is I can't seem to find any for an XDs, I can find them for my XD competition, but none for an XDs.

I put a set of Sig # 8  front and rear Meps on my XDS 3.3 .45 and it shoots to POA/POI.
The install was easy.

As an update to my OP:

After speaking with my local gunsmith, he suggested a rear sight by Dawson Precision. He showed me his match XD, which he installed this rear and front sight. He did tell me, not only the pain in the arse of removing the factory rear sight, but also when ordering any XD or XDm rear sight will fit the XDs, as the dovetails are exactly the same. When searching for an XDs, there is nothing. However, a search for XD rear sight comes up with a few. He sggested the one by Dawson, as he has installed several on customers guns, as well as his own.

I am getting ready to order one for mine.
