These sights are a NO GO at this time.

The concept of the sight itself is sound, but suffers from the the following critical issues:

1) The exposed portion of the fiber optic is small and the fiber optic 'thread' itself is fairly thin resulting in poor light transmission to the interior lens/bead that actually lights up to create the 'dot'. Because of the transmission issue, the dot is poorly illuminated indoors and in low/no light situations. Strike 1.

2) Because of the internal lens/bead size, the dot is small and when poorly illuminated (see above) hard to reacquire under speed. Enlarging the dot and improving the amount of light transmission would help, but increases the coarseness of the sights due to enlarging the MOA diameter of the dot, impacting accuracy. Strike 2

3) Quality control and fragility. None of the threaded items were loc-tite'd or staked in any manner, alignment of the three body parts was poor (fiber optic, tritium housing and main sight housing would not line up when assembled), and worst of all, about 100rds into the range session, the fiber optic thread popped out of the front of the sight and flew down range, never to be seen again, destroying its functionality in the process. Strike 3.

Your shipment of fail just arrived, please sign here.

I will say that the sights could be treated as traditional 3 posts without the use of the 'dot' but lost any accuracy past about 15yrds due to the size of the 'center post'.

I think that a product improved version of these could have a lot of potential but until they make serious improvements, these are not ready for prime time at this point and time. Sorry for the bad news guys.

Thanks Kelly for taking the time to review and letting us know

[kartoffel]

Thank you for the honest and speedy review Kelly. I had my hopes up, too

Hopefully TAS will improve them in the future. Issues #1 and 2 could be addressed by adding tritium, like TruGlo TFO's.

Issue #3 sounds like sloppy assembly techniques at the manufacturers, or maybe poor choice of materials. I wouldn't want any plastic on that sight other than the replaceable fiber optic tube itself.

Best sights I ever used were Steyr's trapezoidal sights. I wish other companies would use that idea. There are some that have taken a different approach to it, but I would love to be able to use Steyr type sights on other pistols.
