    Default Dead Ringer Snake Eyes Sights

    Does anyone use the Dead Ringer Snake Eyes Sights?

    I'd love to hear your experiences with them and any pros/cons you feel based on actually using them. I'd also love to see them in person and possibly even try them.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've never used them, or seen them before, but I can tell you that if the side dots on the rear are as far apart as they look, you can expect your accuracy to go down.

    I bought a used pistol about 4-5 years ago that had them. I was not impressed by any means and for me they didn't serve a purpose.

    Front sight acquisition is fast but accuracy suffers quite a bit.

    Just grab some Heinie Straight 8s and call it good.

    Unfortunately - they don't seem to make them for Walther handguns.

    Definitely a fan of the straight 8's.

    How about the Truglo TFX Pros? Tritium and Fiber Optic together. Anyone have experience with these?

    I don't have the pro's, but the G27 I bought recently came with Tru glo's. They are a really neat concept and do their job quite well (bright in the sunlight, and glow in the dark), but it seems in dim light situations they leave a lot to be desired. The front sight also knocks your sight radius down a bit.

    I likely won't replace the Tru glo's on my 27 any time soon, but I definitely prefer something like the Trijicon HD's or Ameriglo Hackathorn's.



    Even with just the lamp these sights are fairly bright.

    I think I have the Pro's on my M&P. In addition to the fiber optic and tritium, they have an angled ring of orange paint around each dot to grab light that is coming from all angles of just slightly behind you.
