Using Brighter And Bigger Front Sights and Red Dots?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2022
- If you're in a fast, up-close situation where you have to use your firearm, it's unlikely that you will see a crystal clear front sight or your red dot as one does during traditional firearms training. In fact, there is a good chance you don't see anything and rely on instinctive shooting/point shooting/natural point of aim.
Knowing this, to increase your chances of getting any/some kind of visual cue that you are on target before you take a shot is preferable.
Using brighter and bigger front sights and red dots can potentially help provide you with more visual information before taking a shot in a life and death situation.

Agree 100%. As for someone who needs reading glasses my front sights a getting harder to see. My rifles have red dots or a scope so it's not a problem just my hand guns. Need to start getting my slides cut for dots. The joys of getting old lol.
Agreed 👍. Getting old really sucks. Lately I'm needing reading glasses as well, forcing me to outfit all my sidearms with red-dots.
I recently dug out my old IDPA/Pin Gun Heinie 1911 in 10mm from 20 years ago. Couldn't even see the tiny front sight through the tiny slit in the Bomar rear sight.
You sir need a prism scope for your rifles. They will change your life. Or an lpvo.
Ever got your eyes checked to get shooting glasses for exactly your distance to the front sight?
It's a absolute game changer for people like you shots out to 100 yards are a breeze
Orange is an extremely visible color, which is why it’s used in search and rescue a lot.
As always great info! 👍
On both my Glock 43x and/or my Glock 19 (EDC) I go with large orange front sight and Holosun RDS with green circle-dot system. Outside force-on-force orange is quickly seen while indoors (church security) bright green stand out well.
Also … seldom mentioned: Guys with multiple guns, who may carry different guns at different times, each EDC gun should have the SAME sight type. Less confusion = greater survivability!
The Holosun ACSS reticle helps pick up the red dot a lot quicker.
I used florescent orange Testors model paint on the front sight of each of my pistols. The color really pops when shooting rapidly.
Holosun 508T , 32moa circle for cqb and 2moa dot for precision best of both worlds
Looking to go red dot from irons for edc but love the info in this video! Great to hear different perspectives and learn more!
Outstanding. I love the Sig sights that come with the gun. The night dots could be a little bigger but it's fine.
Agree 100%. The X-Ray sights that came on my P365XL are great. Like you, I wish they had more fluorescence in the color but, for factory sights, I can't complain.
Great video, great information, thank you for making these videos.
Edc I use green fiber front and holosun scs in green. Good cowitness makes finding the red or green dot sight a breeze. I love using irons but can shoot far better with an optic.
I commonly and usually see green better than red or orange for competition but also see it great in low light. Usually because the berm is brown sand and soil which often masks the red or orange dots. But if it’s in a place with a lot of green and flora, I’d want a red one.
Shield plus. Trijicon tridium orange. And in daylight, that orange glows!. Good points cause now it makes sense of why the orange ring is so big. I dont stack dimes. But it definately swiss cheeses anything your point shooting at, without focusing on trying to get a perfect alingment. At night its not so bad but the only thing you see is the green glow center and its not that bright at times.
Don't laugh, but the best factory sights I have are on a Heritage Rough Rider 22 LR/22 Magnum single action revolver with a 6.5" barrel and adjustable rear sights. The sights are fiber optic (yellow-orange front and two-dot green rear). They really pop.
Single action is great for accurate target. True self defense shooting most likely won't involve real aiming. It's point and shoot and hope you end up not dead
Good information, I use a tritium XS big dot front sight on my G30S EDC.
I had to do the same thing. I went with XS BD’s on my 43x, and Xcarry. Been thinking about going RDS here lately, though.
Trijicon SRO Glock 19 red dot and Dawson red fiberoptic front w/blacked out rear sights on CZ P01.
I run with the Vortex Venom. It's a great optic, and I love the dot adjustment for different lighting situations, but I constantly have battery anxiety. For that reason, I'm looking to get something passive next time.
Great suggestions and information 👍🏾
XS BIGDOT in orange on all my carry pistols
Excellent. Thank you.
I chose a red dot with a donut of death (big red circle) to be sure it catches my eye.
Always good content!
Awesome video thank you Sir 🙂👍
Truglo Pro Tritium sights are pretty solid on my EDC
Liked: always excellent suggestions that make us the best shooter. To be honest, I only developed better shooting techniques after retiring 20 years from the police department and learning from your excellent videos.
I don’t understand why some sight manufacturers make sights with big neon dots on the front sight only to have to use the top edge of the sights for poa/poi. Meaning if you aimed by putting the dot where you want the round to go, your shots would be high.
Iron sights on hand guns are kinda following the concept of the shotgun bead,for combat distance & application as far as what I'm seeing. I've been running XS sights for decades now but this time I want to go w/orange front & no stripe on the rear sight. I just don't know if I want to go w/large dot or standard & I would consider a fiber optic it's their durability for concealed carry that worries me a little.
Been using nail polish for year florsant
Hey brother just got fiber optic competition sights for my beretta m9a3 the front sight seemed thin and small, that is good for IDPA competitions ?
currently re-evaluating my whole carry kit because of vision and arthritis issues. looking to go MOS full size either 9 or 45. My beloved G23 with meprolite night sights is getting harder to be effective with
Thanks guys good info
You bet
Thank you for the video it was really helpful. When using the large orange dot sight, do you still use equal height or do you center the dots. Mine seems to be setup to center the dots, which means sights will not be equal height. Thanks
I do appreciate all that you share her knowledge and experience. The other day I was watching something that GBRS was talking about and it is the the technique they have used for years. It’s using instinctual shooting just using that back plate of the pistol. As long as you have a sound pistol grip and stance your shot placement should be consistent. What are your thoughts on that because it minimizes the time finding and lining up the sights?
Now i am shooting with red dot but sometimes I feel that iron sight with red fiber optic sometimes will be quicker.. it's a feeling and I am not sure if in reality it is like that.. maybe I need more training with the red dot.. tell me your thoughts..
Dave spaulding cap sights
Excellent observation! Great tutorial for real life as we get older and more decrepit.
I’ve been shooting pistols and rifles for decades and dead-on accurate with anything I shot as a kid. I’m 59 years old now and my mind and focus is still sharp as a tack, but my vision sucks. Getting older and wiser doesn’t fix your vision unfortunately, that’s only going to get worse.
I recently bought a Ruger LCP2 in .380 and I’ll be honest, I can’t see the f*cking sights. Welcome to aging eyes. If I had this mouse-gun in my 20’s, I’d have no problem seeing them.
So I picked up some fluorescent sight paint from the gun shop and painted the front sight. Much better now. I can totally see it. The rear sight is a problem now. I painted it fluorescent green. Bingo. I have a sight picture that looks like something from a 70’s black light poster but that’s what I need unfortunately.
The LCP2 isn’t for marksmanship but I was a marksman and missing the bullseye at 7 yards makes me sad. With the painted sights, I can get tighter groups than anyone with this mouse-gun half my age. I’m in great health. Always have been. A mystery since I’ve abused my body with glee all these years. My eyes and hearing suck. I can still climb a shear rock face. Go figure.
My job on tugboats and barges keeps me in top-notch shape. My body is fine for now but my eyes aren’t so good anymore.
So, I painted my sights on the mouse-gun. Got a red dot on the Max-9 just for fun. It’s great. I’m shooting like I did as a kid. Just a few adaptations for aging eyes.
Thanks for thinking about and addressing us older folks. You’re a great person.
Peace and aloha to you and yours always. 🤙🏼
Could you guys do a video on green dot vs red dot optics? Would you guys recommend co witness? If you do then 1/5th co witness or full co witness? Thanks!!
A bright front sight is critical. That's why I upgraded the sights on my 43X to a set of yellow Trijicon HD XRs. The difference, for me, is night and day. With the brighter front sight, I'm able to pick up the dot quicker, making for faster shots on target. I love Trijicon's line of pistol sights; you can't go wrong with them!
Thanks great info!
No problem!
What do you recommend for rear sights? I've come across many shooters blacking them out. Any recommendations?
Make hip fire great again.
Sooo 80s.
Red pilled on red dots!
I still have the stock sights on my Glock 17 but literally have changed the sights on every other firearm I own. I guess I'm a Glock masochist.
What large red dots are recommended?
Different manufacturers make different size red dots, for example 3 MOA, 6 MOA, and 9 MOA.
6 moa is a really good sized dot for me
Now engage the audience in the community section with things like 'what dot size/fibre fillament sizes do you use? Tell us in the comments what you're using them for.
Orange or red
LoveIt
Wow
I wish I could afford a red dot or bright front sight for my Canik TP9sf I mean that is the one reason I own a Canik is because I got a good deal on it. so unless you or somebody else is going to be generous and gift me one or the other then I cannot afford a red dot or a better brighter sight for my Canik. I mean I am sure you have plenty that have been given to you by sponsors all I would need is one.. just sayin. great content and educational on sights
I'm hooked on Ameriglo Protector sights. I'm red/green colorblind so holographic sights are worthless to me.
That sucks. What color spectrum works best for you?
They make yellow/gold/amber ones too.
@@Paladin1873 Blue is the best. Red is the worst. The Protector sight has a green tritium insert and a luminescent yellow surround that jumps out.
On the plus side camouflage doesn't work on me. When my friends and I go hunting I'm basically the dog. 😁😁😁
@@onpsxmember Who does? Swampfox makes an amber prism sight but I've never seen a holographic in anything but red or green.
Train, train, train, and don't forget hand to hand and medical! Not like the "government" is gonna save "we the people"!
Point shoot. 99% with a hand gun.
Nice
Thanks
I use TruGlo TFX Pros. Fiber/tridium
