HEYM USA, purveyor of fine rifles [I am unlikely to ever afford], offer a front sight for their double rifles that uses a diamond as the bead. Apparently it is a night sight. I have never seen this before.
Anyone know how effective these are?
When the boyz in the hoodz hear about these, the first to offer them as Glock sights will make a fortune

Wicked.
I just sent a link to a friend of mine, who was unable to open it at her office because their filter thinks this site has “violent and criminal related content”.
One of the properties of diamonds is their cut. The very specific way they’re cut is supposed to gather as much light as possible, and direct it through the center. That’s why diamonds sparkle so much. I can imagine they could use this property as a “night sight.”
I used to have a delightful 26 in barrelled Purdy 12 gauge shotgun with a similar 1 carat diamond as a front sight. We dont have that gun anymore, but the picture brought back vivid memories of that wonderful Purdy !!!
