XS Sights offerings for Smith & Wesson M&P pistols.

XS Sights has introduced more products to fit different handgun makes and models. Among its latest releases are the company’s optics mounting plates and fiber-optic sights to fit a range of Smith & Wesson handguns.

XS Sights Optics plates are CNC milled from steel and finished with a black-nitride finish. Currently, XS plates accommodate the Aimpoint ACRO and Trijicon RMR footprints. Both of these optics footprints represent two of the most common mounting standards on the market, especially in terms of duty and defensive carry options.

XS Sights fiber-optic sights feature a robust design with a slightly wider green fiber-optic insert. In addition to the wider fiber-optic insert, the rear sight notch on the XS Sights fiber-optics sights sets is wide, squared off and extremely easy to visually pick up. All metal parts are precision machined in-house at XS Sights’ Ft. Worth, TX, facility.  

“Our fiber-optic sights and optic plates are easy to install and offer gun owners advanced solutions to improve their shooting experience,” said Jeff King, marketing manager, XS Sights. “XS optic plates are engineered for durability and ideal optic alignment, offering a rock-solid foundation for the precision required for law enforcement, self-defense, tactical and competition use.”

XS fiber-optic sights are currently available for the following Smith & Wesson models:

  • M&P M2.0 Optics Ready Full Size and Compact
  • M&P & M2.0 Shield, Shield Plus, Shield OR, Shield X 
  • Bodyguard 2.0
