What do u guys think of these sights???

[Jordan85]

I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but I came across these and I am very intrigued by them. The psyc theories behind them they discuss do seem to have some merit, and they seem to me like they would offer fast target acquisition and an open sight picture. I have pretty much decided I want to get a set for my XD when they get back in stock. I just wanted to hear some opinions. Anybody have any experience w/ these??

I've seen them before and think they're probably worth blowing $90 to try out.

Too bad they are only limited to 3 guns right now.

I've heard very good reviews. No personal experience.

A bunch of guys on the XD forum tried them, I don't remember what the consensus was. They're not that much different than the trapezoid sights on my two Steyrs, both of which I replaced with 3 dot sights.

From what I've read they are not similar at all to the Steyr sights besides the fact that both use triangles, but I am not familiar w/ Steyr so I cannot attest to that myself.

Does anybody have a pic of the trapezoid Steyr sights so I could see for myself??

They're crap. You won't see anything like that on any decent IPSC/USPSA, IDPA, or Steel shooter's pistol, for good reason.

They're no faster to aquire than notch/post sights, and far less precise.

And you've shot with these....?

um maybe thats do to the fact that most comp shooters are use to diffrent sights, Change is very hard.

I asked about those awhile back( diffrent site) and never really got any imput from anyone that really "gave them a shot". it would be intresting to see, a group of new or untrained shooters given theses compared to a control with "normal sights"

I have been using the warren tactical sights with a fiber optic front. Just put them on the demo them and left them on. I find them super fast and I believe they retail somewhere around $60

Change isn't hard. Competition shooters are ALWAYS looking for an advantage, and if these were better, they'd be in use.

You can't track them in recoil on difficult targets. The front doesn't settle to a set point, like a post top settling to the top of a notch, with even light bars on each side. They're fine for fast up close shooting, but no better than notch and post, and they're woefully slow on tight shots.

Perhaps YOU can't track them, but you should restrict your comments to YOUR experience and not decree what I or anybody else can or cannot do.

[XDKingslayer]

It doesn't matter if they're good or not, the things are never in stock, there is always a 6 month wait on getting them in stock.

The company sends out more emails telling everyone that the sights are almost done than they do actual sights.

Spend your money on something you can actually get from somebody that actually has an inventory.

[possum]

look neat but i have my preferences for defensive sights, which are the xs 24/7 sights. but heck how do you know if something is good or better than something else unless you try it out right! if you do try them let us know what you think.

[The Bushmaster]

Have you ever noticed that they haven't changed or gone away from standard notch and post sights except to give them three dots? Must be a reason....

[SGW42]

I can't comment on how effective they are but they look huge and practically designed to snag on something.

Yep, started out with standard notch and post, then they widened the notch and the post... then they painted a couple of dots on em.... then they tossed some fiber optics in em and made them light up... Ill stick with my notch and post.

[Phil DeGraves]

The inventor and company president, Chaim Stein, has stated "They were designed primarily to be a fast-acquisition sight that can still be crudely aligned at typical combat distances when the primary focus of the eye is on the threat, not the sights. While they are still capable of a high level of precision, some find that they take longer than traditional notch & post sights to accomplish this."

[Myrdhyn]

My best friend has these on his XD. My experience shooting them has been that if you don't know how they are supposed to work then they won't do anything for you but be less accurate and slower than regular sights, but if you shoot them how they were designed (there is a description on the website IIRC) they work as they claim, fast to acquire target and IMO just as accurate, if not moreso than regular sights.

[NCHornet]

I looked into these about a year ago and those that had tried them found it very difficult to actually align the sights, although the site makes it all appear magical. By far the consesus was to take the money and apply it to the TFO sights which is what I plan on doing.
Good Luck

This is what I thought as well, but I haven't seen them. The front blade does look like it's just waiting to get knocked off the pistol.

They say the sights are supposed to fit into a "standard" holster. From the photos I don't see how that's possible though the picture may have been taken from a weird camera angle.

Thanks,

not being able to snag o somethig that we see to often these days which is a bad thing really, and yes you can have to much of a good thing and since i don't have these sure sights in front of me i can't tell how much they stick up ad how much they could snag. for me a sight that is able to snag is a must, while training and coducting one handed reloads, droping the slide by using your belt, pocket boot etc, is made alot easier by some sights than others and something i look for in defensive sights. another plus of the xs 24/7 sights.
