Does anyone own either a HK USP, USP Compact, P2000 or P2000 SK with a set of XS 24/7 Big Dot Night Sights that would care to share a picture?

Thanks guys. :D

I'm curious about this as well, I recently read about these and would like to know what others think...

I got a set put on my Sig P229 about a year ago. At that time XS didn't offer the big dots for USP compacts (which I have), only full size USPs. As for my Sig, they take a little getting used to and will never be as purely accurate as traditional sights, but for aging eyes in a self defense scenario, these deliver on what they promise - you can sure see that front dot.

I'm in the process of finishing up an article for my website about XS sights. But the short version is: two thumbs down.

If they are the only sights you can see due to vision problems/age, then obviously it's better than having no visible front sight at all. Other than that, they simply don't do anything better than normal sights, and they do a lot of things worse.

Agree....if you only want to shoot short distances they are fine. But for the range they don't give you the best sight picture.

I was using the TruGlo TFO on my HK USP (full size) but this weekend the front fiber optic rod flew out, never to be found! So I am switching to the XS Express 24/7 Big Dot. The Big Dot is great for fast target acquisition at close range and on an IDPA target I hit the -1 with a few 0’s and -3’s at 30 yards. Like most things for me it took practice. With the XS on my Glock 19 I now will have the same sights on all my carry weapons.
