\"Ruger
Ruger Single Six with XS Sights – Custom Installation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyone who follows this blog knows I use and trust XS Sights<\/a>. I like them so much I had a set custom fitted to the gun – a Ruger Single Six in .32 H&R Mag – I carry everyday here around Shadowland. (It helps when you have a top notch gunsmith like Jerry Dove<\/a>\u00a0who lives close by.) XS is an Empty Cases’ sponsor and they make good stuff so when new XS products come out, its sort of my duty to highlight them here.<\/p>\n

For those who like small carry guns, XS is offering their sights for both the new Colt XSP and the Bersa BP9cc. Now, admittedly, I have no experience with either of these handguns but I can only assume they’ll be better for carry when fitted with XS Sights.\"CM-0011P-5<\/a><\/p>\n

Their two other new products are for ARs. First is there Big Dot Xpress Threat Interdiction Sights. These are redundant sights for an AR, specifically to be \"Media<\/a>used at close range. They can be zeroed so that off-set at close quarters distances is a non issue. I’ve worked with these sights a bit and if you are looking for a redundant sight, these work and are XS rugged to boot.<\/p>\n

\"AR-3000-7<\/a>Their last new product is a bit different. Working with Troy Industries, XS is offering complete Troy BUIS sights with an XS tritium front and a CSAT rear sight already installed.<\/p>\n

If you are going to the NRA Annual Meetings this year in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>, stop by the XS booth, # 6449, and check out these new sight systems. If you want a set for your Ruger Single Six, you’ll have to get with me and you’ll need a gunsmith who knows how to run a drill press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
