Sight Size compared to XD Factory & Others - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Quick question, in looking at the SureSight website one of the last pages is an overlay of SureSight vs. traditional sights. Is that a good representation of the SureSight actual size vs. XD Factory or Trijicon sights?

Have you seen or had any problems with Suresight fitting into or catching on any holsters?

I am considering a set for the 9mm XD Sub Compact. Thanks

Broadside,
I haven't found a holster yet that won't fit SureSight. If it has a sight channel, it most likely will fit.

I specifically designed the sight not to snag on anything. There are corners yes, but every angle was considered. It is a very snag-free design.

As for a to-scale size comparison, the graphic on my website is not to scale. At it's widest point, the SureSight front sight is about .330". I don't know how wide the factory front XD sight is (I will try to measure later if I remember), but it's likely .145" or less.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

Sounds good thanks. I will be checking back and probably pick up a set after the holidays.
