I have had my XS big dots in for a couple of months now and have noticed that my rear sight has dimmed quite a bit. Front sight is bright but the rear vile has grwon much dimmer than the front. I have been very careful not to get any solvent on either sight. Has anyone else expeienced this.
Judy had these sights on her G19 (I still have the set), and it seems to me, the rear sight always was a bit dimmer than the front--such as it is with the OEM Meprolights on my G21.
When last I read about it, people were ordering the tritium lamp for the front sight only, and skipping it altogether on the rear sight.
I believe Trijicon makes the lamps for XS...
Keep an eye on it--maybe email XS about it. They're a first-rate company, and they will take good care of you.
