Availability: In Stock
The XS Sights Standard Dot Brass front sight for Taurus 856 revolvers brings back what worked best about classic handgun sights: simplicity, durability, and genuine visibility in real-world conditions. There's no electronics to fail, no batteries to die, no tritium that fades over decades. A hand-polished brass bead catches and reflects available light reliably, and the photoluminescent white dot gives you a defined aiming point whether you're at the range, in daylight, or in dim indoor spaces. If you want a fast-acquisition front sight that's been trusted on working guns for generations, this is the straight path.
This sight is built tough. Precision CNC machining of both the sight body and the convex brass bead ensures a precise, snug fit on your 856 with no rattle or creep. Brass and steel don't care about age—they just keep working. Unlike fiber-optic systems or glow-in-the-dark coatings that degrade over time, a brass bead remains optically consistent year after year.
Installation is straightforward—no gunsmith required. The standard dovetail mount is a common setup on Taurus 856 revolvers, and the sight swap is a simple DIY job if you're comfortable with basic tools. Once it's on, you'll have a reference point that works the way revolvers have worked for over a hundred years: point and shoot.
| Brand | XS Sights |
| Product | Standard Dot Brass Bead Front Sight |
| Firearm | Taurus 856 |
| Front Sight Material | Brass (hand-polished, convex) |
| Dot Color | White photoluminescent |
| Mount Type | Standard dovetail |
| Illumination | Photoluminescent (no batteries or tritium) |
Yes. The XS Standard Dot Brass is designed for the Taurus 856 and uses a standard dovetail mount that fits this revolver.
The hand-polished brass bead reflects available light effectively even in dim conditions, and the photoluminescent white dot provides a defined aiming reference. This sight is not tritium-powered, so it relies on ambient light and the phosphorescent properties of the dot—it will be most visible when some light is present.
Yes. The installation is a straightforward DIY task if you have basic tools and are comfortable removing and installing a dovetail-mounted front sight. No gunsmith is required, though a sight pusher tool will make the job easier.
Photoluminescent paint is durable and does not require batteries or active illumination. Unlike tritium, which decays over 10-12 years, photoluminescent coatings remain stable but may gradually lose intensity over extended periods depending on use and environment.
