XS Sights Standard Dot Brass Bead Front Sight for Taurus 856

Classic Brass Bead Front Sight for Taurus Revolvers

The XS Sights Standard Dot Brass represents a return to proven, time-tested sight technology. Before modern innovations like fiber optics and tritium, shooters relied on brass and gold bead front sights for reliable target acquisition in all lighting conditions. XS Sights has revived this classic concept with precision engineering and modern manufacturing.

Key Features

• Hand-polished convex brass bead — The curved surface reflects ambient light more effectively than flat-faced alternatives, providing superior visibility in daylight and overcast conditions
• No batteries or tritium required — This sight will never fail due to dead batteries or degraded luminous compounds, making it ideal for range and field use
• Precision CNC machined — Both the sight body and brass bead are manufactured to exacting tolerances for a perfect fit and reliable performance
• Durable construction — Steel body with protective brass coating resists corrosion and wear
• Easy installation — Factory-drilled for roll pin mounting; includes red threadlocker and complete instructions

Design Philosophy

Brass is less expensive and more durable than gold, and our hand-polished finish uses Flitz polishing products with a protective layer to minimize oxidization over time. While this sight excels for range and field shooting, it is optimized for daylight use rather than low-light tactical applications.

Compatibility

Fits Taurus Model 856 and 605 revolvers with factory-drilled front sight mounting.
