I was looking to find any sort of sights that would make self defense shooting just that little bit easier and I think this is genuinely the perfect sight for me! Thank ya ^

HATED this sight until I put on a compact and wow what a difference. Longer sight picture I am very comfy with, but shorter is so easy to throw or push and this literally shows that happening.

@@hoosierdaddy2308I suspect it’s because the front sight version is narrower, allowing you to see the edges of the target. The rear sight version is wider so you have to guess where the center of the target is more often.

For the guys that have commented and obviously not tried it, this soft functions exactly like a red dot sight that you can’t see thru. My green model is significantly brighter day and night than my dual illuminated RMR. Some people can’t get past not being able to see thru the sight-I get that, what you are supposed to be doing is using the dot and ring for the fast stuff and using the top of the sight housing just like you would use the irons on a normal gun after centering the dot in the window. I’m my practical side by side comparison of a stock G17 and one with the FT, the FT was faster and no less accurate. It is SIGNIFICANTLY better in low light. There is a fly in the ointment though if you wear transitions or bifocals-the reticle gets blurry unless you roll your head back to get on the nearsighted part of the lenses. There is now a front sight version of this FT Bullseye that just came out and I’d recommend trying that one fits of you wear bifocals or transitions because the distance difference to your eye matters. These sights are a godsend for people that have astigmatism and can’t use a red dot, there is no starburst with these. None.

It's a colimator sight, parallel rays creating an virtual image of the dot at ∞ distance, so it's basically the same as a red dot.

I've read that if you're out in the rain and moisture gets under that sight it will cause rust on the slide under the sight. You won't know about it until you decide to remove it.
@dustynbeasley6261
@dustynbeasley6261 3 ай бұрын
That is any sight with a friction fit into a dovetail since the fit can rub the coatings off of the slide. The way to prevent this is to keep your gun oiled regularly and just add a tiny tiny tiny amount before you go out in the rain and water won't be able to get in there since oil will repel it. Better option is to file your sight to fit the dovetail and then coat it with some finish and install it. If the sight is aluminum you can just file it to fit the dovetail and then you don't have to refinish it since aluminum won't rust. Pretty much all your options. Guns are steel. Steel rusts. Doesn't matter what sight you have. All sights require finessing to get the perfect fit because of tolerance issues. It's gunsmithing

I have such a love/hate relationship with CLP. I love it because it's ummmm....vital to the firearm operating well. I hate it because it has a tendency to sneak up and dissolve plastics when you least expect. That said, no true firearms enthusiast has had at least a few days when their hands reeked of CLP imho! Having served in the Canadian Army, such days were frequent. It'd get into canteen water due to its magical "ends up everywhere" properties, but let me tell you this: when it's 95 degrees out and you're in FFO and thirsty as heck, you'll never taste any beverage finer than warm canteen water with somewhat subtle notes of CLP and insect repellant. The downside is that it's ONLY under these conditions that this nectar of the gods is even somewhat paletable!

I liked the idea of this... but I ran into an issue being in the dark and looking into a bright area. Or turning on my weapon light trying to aim. I think you hit it. It is good for fast point shooting... I liked the low profile and no front sight needed but couldnt get used to it. Would be a fun sight to place on a range gun though

Because it uses fiber optics and tritium to light itself, it’s always and forever on. You can’t turn it off. At that it’s ideal to use in both day and night conditions. If you aimed at something bright during night time, the fiber optics catch the light and Illuminate your sights more to compensate. It’s pretty genius in my opinion. Also having a “perfect” front post would be amazing since this one is literally projected holographically which makes it practically a perfect front post.

The only problem I have is the tritium is barely bright enough for my tired eyes at night.

@@TopShotDustin The Bullseye is very quick to pick-up when there's enough ambient light, but with my eyes, the green night-sight is difficult for me to use. While the Green Dot pops out fine, the ring is hard for me to pick-up and to find its center. I guess I need more night time practice while wearing my reading glasses.

The first 30 seconds were pretty painful to watch. I get that there was not bullet in the chamber but a loaded magazine with your finger on the ready position is not safe. I get that nothing bad happened but you are basically swinging around a loaded gun. Take the loaded mag out and show that the gun is empty like every big gun KZbinr. Live rounds should never be in a gun that is being swung around, safety first.
