Triangle Sights — SureSights

Trip_Wire (RIP) · 06-19-2008, 13:37

I'm getting ready to replace my Hennie straight 8 night sights on my Glock 27 carry pistol. I've gotten interested in these SureSight sights. I like the sight picture. Before them I was looking at XS Big Dots.

Anybody use them or know anything about them?

They look good,, Have you actually seen them mounted?? They talk about the front sight

SureSight's front sight is always visible. Because of our front sight's large size and the rear sight's relatively small size

Does this affect holster fit??
Is elevation adjustable on the front or rear sight?

AS I get older, I keep thinking I need Docter style optics on all my pistols..

The very reason that I like these sights, is my age and eyes at that age. I know nothing more about these sights then one can read on the website.

My other choices were

Advantage Tactical:

(Which according to some reports, does have some holster problems)

Also:

XS Big Dots:

Just my 50 year old eyes, yet I have tried both of those triangle systems on other's guns and they were a little confusing to use quickly.

I use the XS with the smaller dot. Very fast for my eyes.

The big dot works yet you have to work harder to shoot precise with any speed IMHO. YMMV.

I put the Sure Sight sights on my Glock 36 last December. The ability to acquire the target is very fast once you get used to it. Accuracy is good, but it shoots a bit high, and there is no way to adjust elevation. Also, the yellow plastic triangle chipped kind of easily. These comments are however for their first model. They are in the process of upgrading the sights with tritium in them, better coating as not to chip, and a modified rear sight mounting base with a set screw and possible elevation adjustments. The concept of the triangle is very fast and easy to acquire. However....... The quality and adjustability issues need to be addressed. If they improve them as they say........ It should be a damn good sight. Also, I have noticed no snagging or fit issues in holsters. I have tried in at least 5 different holsters, and had no issues or problems in this area.

Rogue: Thanks! Thats just the type of info that I was looking for! I have read some of these same complaints on Glock Talk on the first generation sights from them. I'm almost convinced that I'll purchase a set of these sights (without the night sight) when they are for sale in August (?).
