Hey, I own an XDS in 9mm and you can drift the sights (like mentioned above) both left or right. The front sight is fiber optic and the rear sight is the 2 white dot. Hope this helps!

If the sights on an XDs are as tight as on my XD, expect a struggle. I think my gunsmith used a drift punch, but this was to replace them with night sights, so he wasn't trying for fine adjustment. If the gun is for self-defense you shouldn't need to adjust them; your aim won't be that good under stress, anyway.

The most pleasant load to shoot in this gun I have found are Federal premium 185 grain match SWC; assuming you are talking about the .45. This one load impacts 2 inches right but dead on north and south. All other loads strike dead on. At least for me and I'm a lefty.
If I decide to carry this load I may adjust this sight. |
