I am just curious about these sights. I initially hated them but the more I use them, the more I like them. They would be very easy to use at the moment of truth.

So what do you guys think?

 

[sluggo3243]

gotta agree. my 24/7 is the first gun i've had them on and so far i like them a lot better than a 3 dot.

I like them because they seem to provide a faster target acquisition, however, it seems to me that it's harder to shoot very precisely at distance with them.

Good for home defense...but then again, a laser would be better. Good for target shooting...but then again, adjustable sights would be better. Honestly not really sure where I stand...but I like 'em.

 

[rdoggsilva]

The more I use them, the more I get use to them. But would like adjustable sights.

If I start out shooting them then its hard to go back to 3 dots, The more i shot them the more I like them. and I hated them at first.

I can shoot with either 3-dot or the Staight-8 configurations. I wouldn't go out of my way to put straight-8's on a pistol though.

 

[texastaurusguy]

How about another category - "they're fine, but the 3 dots are okay too". I think alot of people make too big a deal about the straight-8 sights, and don't spend enough time practicing.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[aaronc53]

I doesn't really matter to me. I can shoot alright with them, but I would rather have 3 dots.

 

[Sleeper]

I totally hated them at first, but after approximately 1k rounds later I actually like them. I've found that my target acquisition is faster and I seem to be hitting COM more often. Becoming familiar with them and experimenting has a lot to do with being able to shoot with them.

 

[DARKSIDE351]

i had 3 dots with my last gun, but i am gettin used to the 8's and actually like them now.

 

[ByrdC130]

I've gotten to where I like them better than the 3 dots. They seem faster on target aquisition and second shot follow ups. Plus you only have 2 dots to look at which, for me is easier for my lil ol brain. Just wish I had a set of adjustable night sights on my 1911.

 

[Long Ago LEO]

I'm not sure about all these "dots" you guys are talking about. Doesn't anyone shoot from the hip anymore?

 

[rwcreigh]

gotta agree. my 24/7 is the first gun i've had them on and so far i like them a lot better than a 3 dot.

+1

 

[orlandodriver]

well i would say its lke any other sight all you got to do is learn how to get used to them.

 

[boykinhntr]

I have decided that I really like them for a CC gun but I prefer three dots for range shooting. If I ever have to use the gun, the straight eights will be provide less confusion during a very confusing time. I have shot them before however and like them. I actually have similar sights on my Sig P230.

 

[threefortyduster]

I do not like my straight eights for decent target shooting. Its easy to aim them at the middle of the target only, but when you want to make a group somewhere else, I find it difficult.

I'd prefer some three dots.

 

[Gray_Wolf]

I have no problem with Heinie sight, but I prefer Novaks.

 

[tnwalker98]

I didnt get my gun for target practice. The Heinie sights are 20/20 in my book.

 

[orlandodriver]

When the time comes, Do you actually think your gonna have time to get a proper sight picture? in some cases maybe, but when its all happening so fast really all you have time to do is point and shoot or shoot from the hip. just was thiking about that figured i throw this on here too.
