Fort Worth, Texas (July 29, 2025) – XS R3D 2.0 night sights with green or orange dual-illuminated front sight are now available for Glock pistols with A-CUT™. These Glocks allow direct mounting of the Aimpoint COA red dot optic, and the extremely low profile of this R3D 2.0 sight (in the lower fifth of the optic window) results in minimal visual obstruction, making it an effective backup sight if the optic fails.

DIY installation of these sights is easy with simple hand tools, and there are dimensional enhancements that deliver a better user experience for Glock owners.

“We designed this R3D 2.0 rear to be slightly longer than the factory sight to minimize the area between the iron sight and optic lens – a space which tends to collect dirt and debris,” said Jeff King, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “We also made the sides of our rear sight flush with the Glock slide to reduce snag potential while providing a cleaner, more streamlined look.”

Brighter, stronger, and even easier to install than the original R3D models, this second- generation sight has a Black Nitride surface finish which provides twice the corrosion resistance of traditional black oxide, ensuring superior durability and long-lasting performance.

Increase your chances of achieving fast and accurate target acquisition in the event of optic failure by upgrading your Glock pistol with A-CUT™ with the XS R3D 2.0.

Retail Price: $137.99

XS sights are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The company also offers a 12-year illumination warranty on all tritium products. For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

XTech Tactical launched the MAG47 line up with one offering in a single color (Black 30rd). Since that time the company has stayed true to its core of giving customers a voice. Nine full production variants and dozens of special editions later, we have the best AK47 magazine line up on the market.

However, until today the company never serviced the “Gucci” or “Bling Bling” sub markets of the AK. In fact the first non-black variant, the “Rotten Banana Clip” had the objective of creating the world’s ugliest magazine. Enter a new chapter with these three new offerings!

Release #1: The “Marble” Edition MAG47. In partnership with Emerald City Cerakote, a unique magazine that is a true masterpiece. The blend of colors and dimension photographs great but it can only be truly appreciated in person. There is also an argument to be made that it may provide some field camouflage if in a marble auditorium.

Release #2: The “Gold” MAG47. For years customers had requested this magazine, however, in testing, the paint options on the market did not meet the company’s durability requirements. Cerakote finally released a new Gold color and it’s incredible! Complete with a black base plate and custom series sticker, and you have the ultimate Golden AK magazine!

Release #3: The “Chocolate Chip Camo” MAG47. The perfect blend of artistic pop and functional camo. This may be the first magazine that alters the definition of fun in the dictionary. The Cerakote stenciled pattern of the magazine will last for years
