Big dot sights??

[geocole]

Has any one used this sight, and if so how do you like them?
Are they accurat out to 25 yards?
I am 70 and could use some help seeing the sight on the front.

I had a set on my G23. IMO, the XS sights are nice for shooting within 10 yards. Past 10 yards, it's not as accurate as some of the other sights available. YMMV

welcome to THR sir. i had a set on my glock 19 and i live them for carry and for realistic engagements that one might encouter they are perfect. they are quick on target, and easy to use and see. though they are not the most accurate night sights they are not meant to be. you wouldn' use them in a bullseye competition but they are plenty combat effective in the accuracy department plua they aid you in being quicker on target.

when i got the glock with them on there i put in through every drill that i knew, and i could tell that i was quicker on target and i was getting great hits in faster times. i got rid of the glock, but i will definetly be getting a set of the sights for my xd sc which is my carry gun.

the booklet that comes with the sights tells you what the poa should be IIRC 6 o'clock hold for 15yds and under and on target for 25yds.

here is a link to where mr. yeager is hitting pepper poppers at 25, 50,75 and 100yds with a pistol with xs sights on his gun. though i could never do this it shows that it is possible! on the left side last video it is #6. there other good ones too.

I have a set of XS standard dot sights on my shotgun and I can consistenty hit targets out to 100 yards with the system. I like the sights alot, but I have not used them on a pistol.

I have a set on my 32. Right now I'm shooting way low at 7 yds. Good group, but at that close it should be POA/POI. Granted it's for speed, not accuracy but I want the bullet to hit where the front sight is. I spoke with XS and they told me it's natural to shoot low when first using them. We'll see.

no problem by the looks of the video i would say they are "effective"!

I have a set on my Colt Defender. For their intended purpose (rapid, up-close combat) I think they're great. Sight aquisition is the fastest of any other sight.

Out to 15 yds I'm pretty good with them. Beyond that, not so yet. I found that I, too, was shooting low. Rest the white outline in the "V", not the tritium dot.

Next in line for the Defender is a CTC Lasergrip.

The AO big dot I had on my Kimber Ultra Carry were the fastest, most accurate (in time-to-shot) sights I have ever used. If they made them for my PT-145, I'd have a set on it soonest...

I have them on three pistols and a shotgun, and (obviously) am a fan!
