XS BIG DOTS

[2ADMNLOVER]

Anybody know the best place price wise to order them ?

Why would you want to? Imo.

Let me google that for you

After providing my unasked for and not wanted opinion on that subject, I would check the major retailers with a good return policy, since after you take them out shooting seriously you will want to send them back.

Ooops, there goes that opinion again

I personally like the have them on my duty and off duty weapons fast sight picture. But to each his or her own.

I prefer them over standard sights. I have an extremely difficult time focusing properly on regular sights, but I can acquire and stay on target much more easily with Big Dots. Granted, they aren't precision sights, but I'm not shooting competitions with them, either.

I have XS Big Dots on my main defense pistol and will be putting them on all my Glocks when I can put the coin aside for it. Faster on target for me.

Not going to get into a fight over it, its something you have to try out for yourself.

I have used them before, on guns from the shop.

Hokey, to the extreme if you ask me.

Their claim is they are fast on close targets for non-precise shots.. ok.. uh... I can make those shots with no sights on the gun at all...its the hard shots I need sights for.

You need sights for the "harder shots" not just the easy ones.

But dont listen to me, I am a nobody, I just googled and found a FAR more credible guy than me to listen to, who happens to agree with me.

If they worked, believe me, I would buy them, but they dont.

I have taken a few of his classes and have the opposite opinion of him.

I have the sights on my AK, AR, and pistols. They work well for me.

Sorry that came out wrong, I should have said "You would know how much faith to put into that guyS RECOMMENDATION OF XS SIGHTS".

He is... 100% dedicated and pretty much the lone proponent of them, and preaches it like gospel.

The VAST majority of trainers disagree with him, strongly.

Got it.

I tried them on a friends gun. Bought a set for my ccw and ended up buying 4 more sets. They work very well for me.

Didn't mean to start a debate but thanks for the info guys .

I should've mentioned that these would be for 60 year old eyes and no competitions .

 

[Wild Deuce]

2ADMNLOVER, what type of gun do you need the sights for? I have a set for a GLOCK 19 that I might be getting rid of soon. Tried them and didn't really like them. They were on the gun for about six months. I would price them accordingly for you.

No worries without debate this forum would suck.
