When XS Sights announced the Minimalist OR Tritium Night Sights for the HK CC9, it reminded me that they’ve always slowly but surely come out with night sights for virtually every full-size, compact, micro-compact, and even revolver platform out there.
For a long time, I’ve relied on aftermarket sights, especially those built for carry optics, and the idea of a lower-fifth co-witness with an RMSc red dot immediately grabbed my attention from XS Sights’ most recent release for the CC9. I’ve seen plenty of sights that promise perfect compatibility, but only a handful deliver that elusive mix of low-profile design and true backup utility.
XS’s collaboration with HK is apparent in the easy installation and secure fit—no fuss, no special tools, and zero play when mounted. At $109.99, the Minimalist OR is the only aftermarket offering currently tailored for the HK CC9. The warranty coverage is a bonus, but for me, the real value comes from its reliability and purposeful simplicity.
I’ve written about XS’s earlier sight lines, like the DXT2 Big Dot and F8, both of which I still recommend for shooters looking to maximize speed and low-light performance. What I appreciate about the Minimalist OR (and previously, their Minimalist Suppressor/RMR-height sights for the VP9) is that XS actually listens to feedback from everyday users and professionals alike, often improving sight picture and durability in measurable ways.
A perfect example here is listening to those who want the irons to be less in the way of an otherwise clear red dot window.
XS Sights has earned my confidence for over a decade—whether it’s been their bold Big Dot offerings or the subtle, blacked-out rears meant for single-minded front sight focus. The Minimalist OR for the HK CC9 continues that American-made tradition:
straightforward toughness, fast sight alignment, and no-nonsense backup for anyone running a red dot but still wanting a trustworthy iron solution. If you’re invested in the optic revolution or just prefer a bombproof night sight, these are well worth a hard look.
