I saw this today and was wondering if this is any good. It seems like a good idea but I am not sure. I am not sure I could get used to anything but my 3 dots. Can someone hot link this please.

Can someone hot link this please. http://www.r4evolutionstore.com/sights/optimized-duty-sight-ods If you are happy with your three dots, then don't bother changing. The idea has merit, looks like it would be good for accuracy, not so sure about speed. I prefer my sights to have an emphasis on the front sight, and that is pretty much the only thing I am looking at for shooting fast. I use Ameriglo CAP sights right now. By all means, get these and return and report how they did for you. I do think the price is rather steep for painted pieces of metal. For that price I would expect the front sight to at least have a tritium vial. Also, I wouldn't read to much into them saying it was "designed by Special Forces veterans with years of counter terrorism combat experience and extensive experience training Special Operators in counter terrorism operations at the most elite schools in the Special Operations Community." I mean just look how many times the word "special" and "operations" is in that one sentence. It is a sales pitch, nothing more. With all do respect to those in the armed forces, just because they are operators doesn't mean they are the best for designing sights and guns. Find a sight that works for you and stick with it. My 2 cents. |
| Too busy for me. I prefer all blacked out or just a front sight dot/insert. They won't make you shoot any worse so long as you don't use them as they're intended to be used, but they won't make you shoot any better either. Front sight, front sight, front sight....not front, rear, line up the lines, adjust the verticle line, front sight, double check everything, front sight, and fire. |

Yes the price does seem steep for what you get. I might try them if cheaper. Quoted:

$120 bucks and no night capabilities, no thanks Yes the price does seem steep for what you get. I might try them if cheaper. I read a write up that indicated there was a tool that came with the sights. If that tool allows for the removal and installation of Glock sights I'm interested. |

I thought it was only for the front but I may be mistaken. |

Front sight tool and a little Allen wrench to tighten up the rear sight. |
| meh, it seems like a cool idea at first but I really don't see how it will increase speed by any measure, in fact it seem like it will slow you down as you try to align the sights exactly on both planes. I've always been taught that as long as the 3 dot sights are reasonably lined up, you'll hit what you're aiming at. The real challenge isn't lining the sights up with machine-like precision, it's the trigger control that wins the day. ETA: as others have already mentioned, it also takes away from focusing on the front sight, that is definitely no good. |
| Average handgun fight in my line of business is five feet and in lowlight conditions. These sights might be ok for shooting paper on a static range but for practical gun fighting, I have my doubts that they have any advantage and maybe even a disadvantage if one were to try to take precious hundredths of a second to perfectly line up all the dots and dashes and other shit on those. |
