Features of DXT 2 Big Dot Sight

1. Big Dot Front Sight

The Big Dot Front Sight is a defining feature of the DXT2 Night Sights. Its outer diameter is approximately 0.188 inches, giving it a significant, noticeable presence. 

The front sight is designed to quickly draw the shooter’s focus, especially under stress, thereby promoting increased accuracy. Its high-contrast color options, either orange or yellow, provide excellent visibility under various lighting conditions – from bright daylight to low-light scenarios. 

My Testing 

On testing, I was immediately drawn to the Big Dot front sight. Its size and brightness were immediately apparent, making target acquisition noticeably quicker. Even when shooting at extended distances, up to 150 yards, the sight remained clear and visible, leading to improved accuracy.

2. Tritium Powered Front & Rear Sight

The DXT2 Night Sights feature tritium-powered front and rear sights. 

These tritium elements are integrated into both the front and rear sights, thereby ensuring alignment is easily achievable, regardless of the lighting conditions. Tritium provides an undeniable advantage in low-light scenarios, ensuring sight alignment even in complete darkness.

My Testing 

While testing the tritium sights in low light conditions, they truly excelled. The glow was bright and easily distinguishable, allowing me to maintain an effective sight picture in challenging conditions.

3. V-Notch Rear Sight

The V-Notch rear sight of the DXT2 is another feature contributing to its unique functionality. Its low-profile design doesn’t obstruct your vision, allowing greater visibility of objects downrange and the front sight.

Additionally, its white outline aids in quick sight alignment. The V-notch design is aimed at simplifying and accelerating target acquisition by allowing a clear and unobstructed view of the front sight.

My Testing 

The V-notch rear sight was an impressive feature during testing. The alignment was quick and intuitive, and it provided a clear sight picture that allowed me to focus on the target effectively.

4. Dot-the-“i” Sight Picture

The Dot-the-“i” sight picture provided by the DXT2 Night Sights is a noteworthy feature. The sight alignment principle operates on a straight-line sight picture, with the front sight appearing like the dot above the ‘i,’ represented by the rear sight. 

This system effectively prevents the shooter from confusing the front and rear sight, improving accuracy and reducing time on target acquisition.

My Testing 

During testing, the Dot-the-“i” sight picture was simple and effective. It helped me align the sights quickly.

5. Rear Sight Ledge

The DXT2 Night Sights feature a rear sight ledge that aids in one-handed slide manipulations. 

This functionality is a thoughtful addition that could prove invaluable in high-pressure situations where a shooter might only have one hand available. 

The sturdy steel construction of the rear sight allows for easy and secure manipulation against various surfaces like a belt, buckle, or pocket.

My Testing

When tested, the rear sight ledge proved beneficial for one-handed operation. It allowed for safe and reliable manipulation of the slide, demonstrating its potential usefulness in a self-defense scenario.

6. Ten Year Warranty

The DXT2 Night Sights come with a Ten-Year Warranty that guarantees the quality and durability of the product. This is an expression of the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s robustness and longevity. 

This “No Questions Asked Night Sight Warranty” is a significant feature for buyers, offering assurance and risk-free purchase, which can be an influential factor when investing in firearm accessories.
