SureSight: Your Top 8 Questions Answered.
Many of you have had questions about the new SureSight.
Below are the 8 most frequently asked questions, along with their answers. If you haven't already done so, order a set for yourself today at www.suresight.com, and experience faster, more accurate and easier shooting for yourself! All the best, Chaim Stein President, SureSight LLC 1. Will SureSight fit in all standard holsters? A. Yes. We have not yet found a holster that will not accept a firearm equipped with SureSight. We have found one old, discontinued model where SureSight abraded the sight channel, but this did not adversely affect the functioning of either the sight or the holster. 2. Will SureSight snag on holsters or clothing, especially while drawing the gun? A. No. SureSight was specifically designed for people who carry concealed and rely on their firearms for defense. As a result, every angle was considered when designing these sights. By design, they are extremely snag-resistant. 3. Can I install the sights myself? A. That depends. We strongly encourage you seek professional installation. But if you are "handy", you should be able to accomplish this yourself without too much trouble using a hammer, a brass punch and a vise. If this seems unfamiliar to you, please seek professional installation. 4. For what model handguns is SureSight available? A. Currently, SureSight is available for all models of Glocks and Springfield Armory XD, and Sigarms 9mm, .40, and .45 pistols. 5. Does SureSight glow? A. Yes. Our coating is impregnated with a special luminescent material that will yield approximately a half-hour or more of visible glow from a 20-30 second exposure from a bright light source, such as a SureFire® or Streamlight® flashlight, or direct sunlight. This feature is intended for two specific uses: A police officer who must perform a building search and has time to charge his sights, and a competitor at a night shooting match. 6. How visible is SureSight in the dark? A. A non-tritium equipped SureSight still functions well in a low light environment. Even without the luminescent glow, our sights remain HIGHLY visible in low light, due to the bright yellow coating and relatively large surface area of the front sight. 7. Do you offer tritium night sights? A. We do plan on introducing tritium models in the future. 8. How is SureSight different from the sights on the Steyr pistol? A. Actually, they work quite differently from the triangle/trapezoid sights of a Steyr® handgun. While they both use triangles, the Steyr sights are aligned in precisely the same manner as notch and post sights. It's just that the sides of the rear notch are turned in at about a 45 degree angle. With SureSight, alignment occurs vertically, with the front pentagonal shape visually placed on top the rear trapezoid. The end result is that when the sights are aligned, a triangle is formed, with the tip of the triangle being point of impact. This capitalizes on a known psychological phenomenon called the Gestalt Principle of Closure. This principle states that all human beings with normal brain function possess an inborn ability to complete shapes. Some of the advantages of this setup include: a much larger, more visible and easier to acquire front sight, increased speed on the target and better visibility during both the arc of recoil and while shooting on the move, easier seen for bifocal wearers and those with "older eyes", and intuitive sight alignment. But perhaps the greatest advantage is the ability to focus on one's target and still have the ability to align the sights. Regardless of prior training, statistics show that the vast majority of gunfight survivors involuntarily focus on the threat, not the sights, while engaged in a gunfight. SureSight may significantly increase the likelihood of a well placed shot under these conditions, since it can be aimed while staring intently at the threat.
