Wow. Conceptually, I like it. You still can't buy them, though.

Isn't this what Steyr's handguns have had for awhile?
I vaguely remember this feature being touted heavily in one of hte old CDNN catalogues when they were liquidating Steyr pistols. |

The big question is what guns will they fit?

Every review I have read, from real world shooters, is negative.

Sorry liliysdad, that link requires registration.
I've dropped a note to the company president, Chaim Stein, whom I know through other contacts. Since I'm going to refurbish an old 3914, I'll see if he's willing to let me try out a set of the sights for an honest review. I like the concept, though I wonder about the front sight height.

Her is an excerpt from the thread. Everyone should be familiar with James Yeager, who is extremely qualified to make judgemets such as these.

One person making a subjective evaluation...
...of a Steyr sight system...NOT the Suresight that is available now to those who are on the mailing list...if his is the only subjectively negative review of a new sight that IS NOT on the market now, I give the eval a thumbs down...anyone else you can quote?

Hello Everyone,
My name is Chaim Stein, and I'm the inventor of the SureSight. Mr. Yeager has not yet had any direct experience with my sight, and he was basing his assessment entirely on speculation. I offered him a set free of charge for his evaluation, but he never responded. For those interested in reading reviews of my sight by people who've actually used them, check out this thread over at Glocktalk: http://www.glocktalk.com/showthread....ight=suresight Below is my entire response Mr. Yeager's above-quoted post, taken from the same thread as Mr. Yeager's post: Quote:
Hope that helps, Chaim Stein President, SureSight LLC |

I have no taste for crow, nor do I feel entitled to a helping. This was the one online review I found, but not everything exists on the internet. I have absolutely no problems trusting James Yeager. Him refusing to try the sights is completely inconsequential as I, for one, do not need to eat poop to know what it tastes like.
The sight makes no sense, and answers a question not asked. What benefit it serves at extreme close range, if any, is far offset by the detraction from intermediate to long range accuracy. With no way to verify elevation, it is useless at anything above contact range. I feel this concept has been brough to its pinnacle by the Ashley Big Dot sight, while still offering useable accuracy at extended ranges. If this is your cup of tea, then fine, but I have no need for a "square wheel." |

Then poop it is......
....need to lighten' up fella...so far, there are NO reviews of the final product, and all that you have said, so far, is emotionally subjective.

I agree completely. I simply feel, quite strongly, that this sight, in theory or in person, offers nothing that sights already on the market do not offer, except a lack of accuracy at any range other than contact.

Chaim....
...some of those folks on Glock talk claim having bought your sights at MidwayUSA....after scouring their on line catalog, and scouring my paper version, followed up by a call to Midway, where they state they don't carry your sites, as well as a call to Dallas Tactical...another company mentioned that sells your sights, also deny ever having them... how did these Glocksters buy sights that don't exist in Midway's or Dallas' inventory?

UH1-D Rotorhead,
If you look at the dates of their posts, you'll see those folks bought product several years ago. This is back when the product was distributed by TRUGLO. The TRUGLO version of SureSight hasn't been available for years. At this time, the SureSight website is the only place to purchase the new version. (Actually, until next week, you'll have to sign up HERE in order to pre-order) Hope that clears things up, --Chaim |

I just thought I'd give this thread a bump, hopefully there has been some more experience with these sights that could give us insight to how they work in the real world, I certainly find the idea interesting and would be interested hearing about testing in the field.
I have no taste for crow, nor do I feel entitled to a helping. This was the one online review I found, but not everything exists on the internet. I have absolutely no problems trusting James Yeager. Him refusing to try the sights is completely inconsequential as I, for one, do not need to eat poop to know what it tastes like If you had 100 people line up to be fed a teaspoon of poop I am betting all of them would agree that it actually tastes like poop, I'd read reviews by many people who like these sights. If people were being fed poop why would they say it tastes like ice cream? The sight makes no sense, and answers a question not asked. What benefit it serves at extreme close range, if any, is far offset by the detraction from intermediate to long range accuracy Why, necessarily, would these sight be worse at range than notch and post sights? These have a smaller aim point which would therefore be more precise, and the rest is a matter of maintaining a shape while shooting: with these it's a triangle and with the notch and posts it's a rectangle. If this is your cup of tea, then fine, but I have no need for a "square wheel." The opinion would have vastly more weight if you actually tried the product in question.
