Pretty cool.
I run those drills with my normal shitty plastic sites and they seem to hold up OK so far. |

I see Pincus is still trying to be relevant.
Wonder how well these sights hold up when the pistol gets thrown across the range by an instructor.. |

No one should ever take my advice on glocks thats for damn sure, but if something has a known rep for failing, I feel its best to nip it in the bud before they can let me down at the worst moment and those are priced pretty reasonable in my opinion, And Rob is one hell of a good guy who really cares about what he does. |

Want to remind those who dont know, Rob is a member here. This is not the thread to insult the man, so please save opinions of him for another thread and try to keep it on discussions of the site if you dont mind. Say what you will about the sites but dont get this locked over personal insults.

Youtube Ameriglo EMS sights and you will see one of the biggest posers you could ever find.
Underarmor beenie: check Oakley sunglasses: check Tactical jacket with moral patches: check SF beard: check Paracord bracelet: check and on and on.... |

There isn't anything new about using the sights off your belt, pants, boot heel, etc to manipulate the slide. Seen those techniques being used at least 15 years or more ago. What's old is new again...

Quoted: Quoted: One handed racking of the slide is a stupid fantasy. Get real. It's just more tactical bullshit to separate fools from their money. If you say so. Their supposed usefulness revolves around lightning striking the same place three times: 1. You have to get into a gunfight. That's incredibly rare by any measure. 2. You have to be wounded in one hand, but still capable of otherwise continuing to fight. 3. Your gun has to have a malfunction. Your combat guns should be malfunction free to begin with. Also note that reloading is not an excuse for needing it; remember, you've already lost one hand, so unless you stand there absolutely flat-footed and do that dumb shit where you put the gun between your knees and reload one handed, you'll be incapable of reloading anyway. Besides, you're in a firefight, so you really can't stand there motionless reloading with a pistol stuck between your legs and expect to live much longer. Tactical bullshit. |

Do you carry a gun? do you CCW? IF you do, do you carry reloads? By your logic, there is no reaosn to carry a gun ever, or to even practice with it. since nothing is likely to happen Guess I can get rid of my spare tire. Since it has never been needed. Military and police have been shot in one arm before and needed to carry on the fight. The sites help, maybe not needed for a malf, but reloading the gun with them is. possible. Why you think you need to stand out in the open and not take cover while doing this method escapes me. |

My trijicon hd sights are very similar with the exception of night sight on the rear and PRICE....
I actually shoot more accurately with the stock sights but like the big glowing dot up front...might have to swap out the hds for a set of these. Has anyone compared these to the Trijicons? Old eyes suck!

He was out of ammo and needed to reload, but couldn't do it because his thumb was shot off, so he took his empty gun and shot himself in the head with it... Do you imagine him offing himself might have had a little more to do with the fact that their previously uncontested robberies had now turned into an hour+ walking gun battle with 100+ police officers, he was separated from his partner in a neighborhood he didn't know, there were helicopters overhead watching him, he was out of rifle ammo, he had just lost his thumb, and he had no hope of anything but going to jail for the rest of his life? I can almost guarantee you that the last thoughts going through his mind had nothing to do with wishing he knew how to reload with one thumb. |
