That's pretty cool, but i'm sure nothing works as well as the bad guy seeing a little red dot appear on his nuts.

I'm assuming that it has tritium, since it has a hefty price (but for a few more dollars, a laser grip from crimsontrace can be placed on the handgun). As far as its use on potato cannons, that price is a little high.

It's Tru-Glo.

I'm sure something similar can be pulled off for a potato gun. Going to HD later... maybe I'll get some ideas.

Tru-Glo? That IS a high price for fiber optics (unless it is tru-glo with tritium in it. I believe they do produce it with some of their sights). Having tru-glo in mind, I bought a tru-glo fiber optic turkey sight for my 12g shotgun for around $15. Very good sight and it would work well for a cannon.

i dont know that something like this would work much better than any other sight s on a spudgun. it looks like these sights are meant for high stress situations. etc. self defense. where you would need to draw your gun and shoot 2-3 shots within a few seconds, not having time to align your notch and post sights.

That's a pretty neat idea. If I had something that shot straight enough, I wouldn't mind a set. Or maybe I'd just be really cheap and make a set instead.

It wouldn't be a particularly hard design to copy for your personal use. Sure, if you tried selling them, you'd be pinned to the wall by lawsuits, but for a one (or two) off, I'm sure someone with decent DIY skills and some glo paint could do fine.

It's dam near impossible to get a accurit aim in any quick draw situation! Try it before you argue that point with me. Thats a great sight for target shooting, but thats about it, honestly.

I wonder how many times it will take for that slide to slam shut before the sights get jared out of aim/calibration?

Sorry about the negitivity, but to me it's like fishing lures, designed to catch the fishermen, not the fish.

It took me a coupla seconds to realise that. It's when you start reading the text it's clear.

@jddrw: It might not work as well for a quick draw situation, but if I was in a firefight, a set of those certainly wouldn't go amiss.
