TAS Pistol sight

The TAS Pistol is an interesting new pistol fiber optic sight system. For night shooting a tritium lamp lights up the fiber.

It looks quite impressive in the video ...

They hope to be selling the product in the United States this year.

[ Many thanks to Mark for emailing me the link. ]

    i actually bought these and they are really nice but the tritium is incorrect. they took that off their site because i sent them a few e-mails. that’s a prototype that they are working on but is not yet available. also, mine aren’t sighted properly so i can’t say about the accuracy but when it comes to height, you can’t adjust that and since they sit lower then the original rear sights, it’s always shooting high

    Somebody who makes those videos needs to learn how to spell, or use the correct word for their intent.

    Minimal abstraction of view? Don’t you mean Obstruction?

    Continues? Don’t you mean Continuous?

    Sights seem rather ‘gimmicky’ to me.

    The concept looks really neat. However, it’s not a tack-driving kind of sight. If the gun is not exactly lined up, there’s still a range of angles at which the shooter can still see a varying amount of glowing red. And (assuming that the shooter is in fact focusing on the target, as they intend) that variable amount of glowing red will appear at the same level of brightness whether you’re 2 degrees off to the right, off to the left, too high or too low. Again though, for the intended purpose that amount of error should be tolerable.

    Canted? Why wold that be an issue? You realize what this site is right? There is no front sight post require for this, their glock in thr video has it but it is not used or required.

    That red dot only shows up when it’s dead on, like a red dot sight but very small, most like a tiny trijicon reflex.

    It’s awesome and the first day it’s out I’m getting one for a suppressed ruger 22/45!

    “minimal abstraction of the target” = always a good thing ;)

    The scientific accuracy of their weapon sight versus their competitors in the shoot out was almost beyond ridiculous.

    Also, can anyone tell me who Competitor 2′s three dot sight was, it looked pretty good.

    Focus is wrong… should be on the front sight, not on target. :-)

    If I’m not mistaken Tru-Glo’s TFO sights use tritium to illuminate fiber optics in low light.

    It doesn’t tell about how it behaves if the gun is canted.
    That’s the primary problem with small arms sights in my opinion.
