XS Sights just dropped a trio of upgrades that turn the Taurus 66 Combat from a solid wheel-gun into a serious low-light contender. By offering pre-drilled Standard Dot tritium, fiber-optic front sights, and a dedicated ACRO optic plate, the company is essentially saying the six-shooter deserves the same modern sighting ecosystem once reserved for striker-fired pistols. The dual-illumination tritium/fiber combo gives shooters both instant daylight contrast and a glowing dot after sunset, while the CNC-machined plate lets you bolt on Aimpoint’s rugged ACRO without milling the frame—something that used to require custom gunsmithing or voided warranties.
For the 2A community this matters because it keeps the revolver relevant in an era dominated by optics-ready semis. Whether you’re a woods carry advocate who values six hard-cast .357s over magazine springs, or a competition shooter who wants a fast sight picture on steel, these parts remove the old “revolvers can’t keep up” excuse. More importantly, they reinforce the principle that lawful gun owners should be free to modernize classic platforms instead of being locked into 1970s sight technology simply because a model is wheel-operated.
The ripple effect could push other manufacturers to follow suit, expanding aftermarket support for DA revolvers and giving consumers more choices in how they configure home-defense or trail guns. In short, XS isn’t just selling sights—they’re extending the service life of a platform many of us still trust when the chips are down.
