Dang, 2k for that price ill pass, and just get the guide rod laser. Yikes.
$1999.00? Count me out. I believe it’s $199.95 MSRP
Do you mean MRSP is $199.99 or $19.99?
Oops! It is $199. Sorry guys.
heh, you guys are my cyber editors, 10 mins after posting you are correcting the blog post. I bet Fox or CNN does not get articles fixed this quickly. Thanks.
That’ll be a tough competition for CrimsonTrace.
The left one seems to be for the activity indicator and battery?
I’m all for bigger iron sights in general, though.
Okay, a laser, that’s cool.
But where the hell do they stock the batteries ? I mean, yeah, they could manage to stuff a tiny battery in that, but you’ll have like… 20 minutes worth of laser ?
Also, It’s going to radically change your sight picture, which (I think) might not be a very good idea.
LOL, ok now 200 might be worth it since you’d pay that for another laser system.
The batteries are on the left side of the sight with the diode (laser) on the right side. The white piece at the rear of the batter compartment looks to be the on/off switch. It’s a terrific idea, but the CTC lasergrips are more “natural” to turn on. Even the guide rod laser would be more natural to turn on since your finger should be indexed along the frame (close to the take-down lever / on/off switch).
Looks totally impressive BUT I’d think it will be a challenge (to say the least) to install since normally a (GLOCK) sight mover is required to remove and install the Glock rear sight and the sight mover will not fit the round contour of this sight. On the plus side, similar to CTC, the windage and elevation adjustments are very very nice.
This item is worse than junk. The chinese would be embarrassed by the build quality and it might just cost you your life. The “steel” construction is more like cast pot-metal, and the elevation stuck about a foot high at 20 feet, and the set screw threads on elevation and windage was sloppy. Unbelievable. Buy one if you want a $200 cat toy. Can’t believe I bought this piece of crap.
