Triangle Sights?

[Leibster]

Sunray,

Not to beat a dead horse, but I fear I'm doing a poor job of explaining myself. The SureSight is EXTREMELY different from the triangular shaped front sight on the Inglis HPs.

For starters, HP sights are relatively small. By contrast, the SureSight has by far the largest front sight of any sight system on the market, while still fitting in standard holsters.

But more important than simply the size, the WAY SureSight works is utterly different from the sights you described.

Rather than explaining again, I'm attaching two pictures (assuming the attachment feature works.) One of the pictures show the SureSight in alignment. The other picture shows a standard set of notch and post sights overlayed with a SureSight sight picture, with both of them on the same target. This image explains why with the SureSight, there is a simultaneous increase in both sight picture AND target visibility.

I apologize if I'm being unclear. Hopefully, the attached images will help.

Thankyou, the only thing more would be some form of gas/fiber upgrade and that you made for the FN 5n7 USG

panzermk2,

If there is enough interest, we will definitely make them for the FiveSeven.

Most people who have used SureSight don't feel they need a glowing sight. The trouble is, some people only become comfortable with this idea AFTER they bought SureSight, so in order to accomodate the reluctant customer, we are currently exploring different ideas for night sights.

All the best,

Leibster:

I may have missed this, but what models do you intend to design these sights for once you've ironed out any problems?

More to the point--I own Sigs, 1911's, and CZs. What are my chances?

ball3006,

If you like the Steyr sights, chances are you'll LOVE SureSights. They're even easier on older eyes.

The old Arisakas use a triangle front with an aperture back that I REALLY love. I don't know why the idea hasn't caught on as much. The two shapes just go together naturally.

I want a set of those triangle sites on the CZ-75B SA I shoot in IPSC - they'd go a long way towards lowering my times.Don't forget about CZ (hell sometimes I think CZ forgets about CZ).

Werewolf,

You're right; the CZ really is an under-appreciated weapon. I would love to make up a batch for the CZ-75 platform, tell anyone you know to who is interested to shoot me an email at [email protected].

OK! All you guys that use CZ's (and I know you're here) you heard the man. Let 'im know you're interested in a set of those triangle sights for your CZ.

Werewolf,

Errr, thanks, but I kinda meant all those guys who AREN'T watching this thread.

Damn since I am an even bigger CZ nut

 

[Werewolf]

The whole concept of these triangle sights is intriguing and as I said before I'd really like to try a set out on one of my CZ's.

BUT the more I think about it the more I wonder how one would go about setting them since the way they work is to form a triangle and point of impact is the point of the triangle.

For example: What if POI is low? Do you raise the rear sight? What happens to the geometry between the front and rear? Since the front sight is fixed can you still make a triangle? Would the POI go up?

I'm sooooooo confused...

I'm starting to wonder if triangle sights will really work???

panzermk2,
Didn't mean to offend you. . If you haven't done so already, please send an email to [email protected]. The more emails I get, the more likely I'll be able to make SureSight available for CZ owners.


Werewolf,
SureSight is just like XS Sights inasmuch as they are not adjustable for elevation, only windage. Like XS Sights, you would need to shim the rear sight to raise it in order to adjust for elevation.

I hope that helps clarify things.

Not at all

Glad to hear it.

Thanks to some of you on this forum, as well as some other forums, I've been able to compile a nice list of people who are interested in SureSight, along with which model guns you want sights for.

I really value and appreciate your feedback.

If anyone else would like to let me know what they're interested in, please send off an email to [email protected].

Just as importantly, if any of you have suggestions, or a "want list" of features you'd like to see in an aiming system, please let me know!

Thanks again,
