Title: Night sights for the XDm models
Post by: Entryteam95 on March 26, 2010, 10:03:44 AM

          Is anyone producing night sights for the XDm Models? I was interested in the Meprolight type (green dot
surrounded by the white ring) or something similar to the 10-8 system. I haven't found anything during my search
and the XD versions leave a space on the slide.javascript:void(0);

Check out Dawson Precision.  Also contact Meprolite and whomever....the sights for the XD might work for the M even though they seem different.

FWIW

Heinie says they fit both XD and XDm.  He will likely have what you want.  I use an all black rear and a single dot front.  Works very well for me since I'm only looking for the front sight anyway.  Call or email them if you have questions.  rheinie@heinie.com

Good luck,

I know SIG sights fit my XD...I've retrofitted by XD45 with them.  Does anyone know if they fit the XDm?

I put Truglo sights on my XD.  The SA rep said the XDm uses the same Truglo as the XD.  The sights are fiber optic by day, and the tritium lights the fibers by night. Sights cannot be seen by the target. I'm extremely happy with these sights.  8)

I've seen green front/green rear for $79.99 (Natchez Shooters Supply, I think) and the green front/yellow rear for a little over $100 at Optics Planet.

I bought the green/yellow as the rear yellow sights are a bit dimmer than the green front, lets me differentiate between dots in low light much quicker.

Click on brite site series TFO, you want the tg131xt for green/green, or the tg131xty for yellow/green

                 Thanks for the recommendations; I had figured since the pistol was so popular that the big companies would be
making a bundle making sights for this pistol.javascript:void(0);
