XS is also implementing a new ‘No Questions Asked Warranty’ for all sights as of January 1, 2018. This new warranty is an effort to provide exceptional customer service and to encourage more people to install their own sights. Given the limited lifespan of tritium, any XS sights with tritium will be backed by a 10-year, no questions asked warranty. After 10 years, XS will replace these sights as needed at a steeply discounted price.
