Title: Anyone used Speed Sights?
Post by: Buckeye 50 on November 17 2014 09:11:09 AM MST
I just saw these and they appear to be a variation on Tirjicon's HD's except with a geometric shape - which I think I like.

About to order night sights for my new Glock 29 and I could order these just as easy?

I like fiber optic pipe front sights much better. I mean look at these Hi-Viz's on my Taurus. The front sight is almost lit up as much as that green LED in the background.

I have XS Big Dots on Shield and Ruger SR9c but on my M&P 9 full sized I have Warren Tactical with the large open rear notch straight 8 trintium inserts. On my Witness 10mm I just opened the rear notch with a drill bit. My old eyes need all the light they can get.

Gandog;

VERY nice.  What brand, where did you get them and what gun do you have them on?

I have shot my new Speed Sights twice now and am nothing short of amazed/almost shocked at how quickly I can get them on target.  The front sight, like yours in the picture, seem "brilliant" in radiation.

Hi Viz adjustable sights on a Taurus 1911.

I had SpeedSights on a Glock 23C.  I did not care for them.  Your eyes have to focus on two different things at once.  A little below target to sight the gun, and again a little higher to find the target.  What is fast about that?

I have them, if someone wants to get them from an ebay listing.

It isn't the speed I'm after, it's the fact my tired old eyes can hardly even focus on the usual skinny front sight. This thing is like lit up in the sunlight.
