    Default I heard XS can install new vials on Big Dots....wrong.

    I've come upon mention of people stating that you can send dim sights in to XS and they will install fresh tritium vials for a fee considerably cheaper than a new set. I contacted XS in regard to this service. Here is their response;

    Yeah, whoever said that was totally wrong.

    The way they are sealed into the sight bodies, getting then lamps out, refinishing the sight bodies because the removal process ruins the finish, then putting new lamps the cost would be more than a new set.

    We have never offered such a service.

    .......it was sent from Bo at XS tech support. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. I just wanted to clear this up if anyone else heard that rumor. Brian

    Trigicon is the manufacture that will replace vials for a small fee. Atleast they advertise the service.
    Quote: Yes, Trijicon can install our replacement sights on weapons listed in our price sheet. If your handgun is a Semi-automatic you only need to send in the slide. Only the frame needs to be sent for Revolvers. Please call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-338-0563 for shipping instructions and pricing information*or submit a Return Authorization Request by*clicking here.
