XS Sights continues to roll out more products during the end of 2025. Among its newest offerings are Minimalist sights for the Diamondback SDR. There’s also an entire new series of fiber optic sights, minimalist OR sights and optics places for Walther PDP pistols.
XS Minimalist Night Sights for Diamondback SDR
XS Sights Minimalist sights are low profile iron sights designed around defensive carry guns. Though low profile and snag free, the rear sight still has a wide notch and the front sight includes a tritium lamp. The serrated, blacked-out rear sight of the Minimalist drives the shooter’s focus toward the tritium front post and downrange threat, making it ideal for those looking for a simple and effective sight upgrade for self-defense.
XS Sights Minimalist Sights for Diamondback SDR features and specifications:
- Black Nitride surface treatment fosters enhanced corrosion resistance
- Tritium front sight for low-light visibility
- Blacked out serrated rear to reduce glare and distractions
- CNC machined steel: durable and American made
XS Sights New Products for Walther PDP
XS Sights is now offering optics plates for the Aimpoint ACRO and Trijicon RMR optic footprints, which cover a wide segment of the red-dot sight market. These optics mounting plates are machined from steel and finished with a tough black nitrided finish. Furthermore, these plates are also engineered to work in tandem with XS Sights Minimalist optics-ready night sights.
Previously available for Glock pistols, Walther PDP owners will now be able to install XS Sights unique fiber-optic sights on their PDPs. These fiber optic sights are milled from steel and feature a bold .060 inch fiber-optic insert. The front sight is .215-inch tall—big enough to be visible yet narrow enough for extreme precision. The rear sight notch is .145-inch wide with crisp, defined edges to ensure excellent visibility of the front sight blade for fast target acquisition and precision alignment.
“Our goal is to give shooters more capability with less compromise,” said Jeff King, XS Sights Marketing Manager. “Whether someone is configuring a compact revolver for personal protection or building out a PDP for competition or duty, these new Minimalist, fiber-optic and optic plate solutions deliver clear sight pictures, durable construction, and straightforward installation—all designed and manufactured to help people get on target faster and keep their focus downrange.”
