Looking for shooting glasses

[lovemachine]

I'd like to get an actual pair of shooting glasses. I'm just using cheap walmart sunglasses now. I thought of getting a pair of Oakleys, but I haven't been able to find a place to buy them.

What do you guys use, and where do you get them at?

I use clear Dewalt safety glasses I buy online for about $3@ when I buy by the case. They are surprisingly comfortable, cheap enough to have a bunch around, and reasonably scratch resistant. I also bought a dozen sunglasses of the same type and they've been all I've used for the last five years.

The site I order them from is on my other computer, but it wasn't hard to find with a google search.

I have https://secure.usstandardissue.com/Product_Detail.cfm?id=225
and they work great for outside and some range shooting. Otherwise I just go with the cheap <$10 pairs for protection.

Don't know about LEOs but military discount is 50%. There are alot of good shooting glasses out there without paying the premium price for Oakleys. If you are set on Oakleys then go to their websight. Cabelas also carry them if you have one nearby.

Wal-Mart has safety glasses for $4.99. Comes in many shades, and these low prices you can afford to get a few pairs for different lighting conditions.

I bought a pair of Ducks Unlimited shooting glasses from a Matco tool man. They came with a bunch of different colored lenses & a nice carry pouch to keep them in that kept the lenses apart. I thought it was a good deal for $32 but later i found them on internet for same price. Oh well they are still nice & the nose piece is very comfortable.

I just use good quality safety glasses, one pair of clear and a tinted pair for outdoor sunny days.

I am a Matco tool man and I sold quite a few of those DU glasses.

Also, every Matco tool man is an Oakley dealer. I sell a lot of them too..

I've used all different kinds-- from simple clear safety glasses, to the cheapie "designer-ish" safety glasses, to $3 sunglasses, to Oakleys.

When I needed to retire my Oakleys, I stupidly bought an entire box of cheapies for $30. I'll be upgrading back to Oakleys soon.

If you're looking for high-speed, low drag stuff, and don't mind the cost, you might look at these.

ESS Goggles - Protective Goggles - Ballistic Goggles - Eye Protection

I have some, but haven't put them through any torture tests.

And Sarah Palin wears similar ones!!

I really want oakleys. But I'll have to save up for awhile. Unless I can find someone who will give me a discount on them.

I have settled on Rudys. They have a USPSA discount, interchangeable lenses AND when you scratch a pair, and you will, replacements are $25 "shipping". Rudy Project North America - Our Replacement Lens Guarantee (RLG)

Rudy Shooting glasses Rudy Project Sunglasses, Helmets and Goggles - Leader in Cycling Sunglasses, Golf Sunglasses, Running Sunglasses and Prescription Sport Sunglasses

Oakleys dont fit my fat head and replacements lenses are pricier than Rudy.

i love my oakleys(i still have my first pair of blades from 21 years ago, and yes i still wear them on the range! anlong with 4 sets of lenses clear,yellow,black and fire iridium now they r vintage and sell for a lot on ebay)

but if you want oakleys check out the knob creek machine gun shoot, at the fall 09 shoot the had the ballistic arrays for 60.00 new(2 lenses clear and black and a hard case)

OR if you get lucky like i did check the surplus stores, at real army surplus in evansville i got a used set of ballistic arrays for $15.00, they had a broken lens clip, bad nose piece and a horribly scratched clear lens, BUT a like new black lens a spare nose piece with a hard case) after $4.95 on ebay i had a brand new locking clip for the lens and for 20.98 i had a great pair of oakley 1st gen m frame ballistic arrays

I can get you 40% off Rudy Project glasses if you're interested. Or I have a new pair of Oakleys I would sell, they're almost as good as Rudy Project
