The XS Sights Standard Dot brass front sight for the Taurus 856 and 605 (brand part no. TS0003N1BRASS) swaps the stock blade for a hand-polished brass bead. XS Sights makes it for revolvers with a factory pinned front blade, and the replacement is pre-drilled for the retention pin. The convex face of the bead reflects more light than a flat-faced sight, which gives a clean view in daylight. The maker points this brass version at range or field use rather than as a replacement for tritium on an everyday carry revolver. Installation is a home job with the supplied threadlocker.

Key Specifications

• The fit is the Taurus 856 and 605 with a pinned front blade, so check that your revolver has that style before ordering.
• The front sight is a hand-polished brass bead, which gives a classic high-visibility look.
• The bead has a convex face, which reflects more light than a flat-faced factory or competitor sight.
• The bead is polished with Flitz products, which leaves a light protective layer that minimizes oxidation.
• The sight is the Standard Dot style, a round bead in a simple front sight picture.
• The sight is pre-drilled for the roll pin, so it installs the way the factory blade does.
• Construction is CNC-machined steel, with the brass bead seated in it.
• The kit includes the front sight, red threadlocker and an insert with instructions.
