Sights will likely not be used in self defense situations. At close range, in low light, when you and an attacker are both moving, you can index on center of mass and squeeze the trigger before you can obtain a good sight picture. The idea that you are going to be able to remove your attention from an armed attacker to stare at your front sight is laughable.
At longer distances, when sights may actually be useful, XS sights are a liability.
I've purchased several pairs of XS sights over the last decade and noted no advantage over partridge style sights--just 50% larger 25yd. groups.
Also, the rear sights are typically rather loose in the dovetail and essentially secured only by two small set screws. On several Glocks I've mounted them on you can clearly see daylight under the sight. Not reassuring.
I like plain black sights with a light--specifically Kyle Defoor Ameriglo sights.
