If i order direct from XS is there any guarantee they'll be newer than from midway or some other retailer?

They don't carry XS, but SKD does have a good selection of night sights (Trijicon, Warren), and is a paying dealer here. They often have deals, including free shipping for orders over a certain amount. Also try MidwayUSA...

If its 11 or 12, you'll be good to go, and I've never had anyone send me anything older.
