Anybody got experence with these?  I've heard they use them at gunsite which is a great endorsment to me.  I'd like to get some for my xd 9 cause the stock sights suck cause there set up for 6 o'clock point of aim.  I want point of aim!

Excellent system for Defensive shooting, not so good for Bullseye.

Dont care for them. I tried them for several months and didnt see any advantage over traditional notch and post sights.   You should try some out before shelling out the cash to purchase them.

i like em; but i'll have to agree, b/c my sight picture seems to line up a tad faster, it also turns out that my shots were not as tightly packed

I've always detested express style sights on rifles. I see no reason why I would like them on a handgun.

I have them on most of my carry guns. No, they aren't quite as precise as a square notch and ramp, but I'm not shooting bullseye matches. They are very fast and help these old eyes that aren't quite as sharp as they used to be.

These will be on my defensive guns and I was just looking for something to replace my xds crappy 6 o'clock point of aim sights.

IMO,for self defence sights XS sights are tough to beat.For bullseye there are better options.

Here's my patented "Why I love XS Big Dots" rant:

Why Big Dot Sights?
I've done a lot of Force on Force exercises and scenarios as a student and as a roleplayer.  We've used converted Glock 17s - 2 of them with Big Dots and one of them with Meprolight night sights. By the end of day 1, NO ONE wants to use the standard night sights.  Under stress (even the mock stress of FOF) the eye has a LOT of trouble focusing on your front sight.  With the Big Dot, it provides a MUCH better reference point for where your gun is oriented and where you're going to make hits.

So is the white dot under glass?  Is it going to stay white?  I use to use trijicon the clp I used to wipe the slide down with would slowy make them less and less white.  It gets hard to see yellow.

I just switched to the XS large dot on my carry weapon.  I should have done it long ago.  I am amazed these aren't more popular?  It's a great sight system!

Note: I posted this response in your other thread as well:

"The white dot is a plastic / polymer. I have not had any issue with it changing color after cleaning. I use CLP and Brake Cleaner. I wouldn't deliberately SOAK it in CLP but I haven't seen any issues with mine."
