Advantage Tactical sights

I buddy of mine had these sites installed on his FS 9mm M&P. I have seen them in the gun rags and such, but this was my first experience with them. They are ugly to look at on the gun and seemed cheesy in concept, but they work. The speed of the site picture is very fast. I was also impressed with accuracy if you line up the lines correctly. My experience with over sized sites like that has been faster site picture (compared say to your typical three dot site set up) at the expense of accuracy at longer distances. For HD/SD gun, it’s a fair trade off I think, but these sites seem to have solved that issue, at least they did for me. But egads they are ugly to look at. :cool:

Give em’ points for trying something new. I will wait for early adopters to report!

My single range session was very positive I can say.

They’re ugly as sin. But if they work, who the hell cares. I look forward to hearing more details of your experience with them.

Based on this video, they don’t look like anything I’m interested in.

They’re not new. They’ve been around for YEARS.

Ive shot a Glock 34 with these installed once…yuck on a stick.

The guy that owned the gun also couldnt hit the broad side of a barn at any distance but BOY was he fast a missing…

I don’t get much from that vid one way or another. What I can say, they worked as claimed when I tried them. They have interchangeable inserts of different colors. Supposed to be very good on low light also. No low light use on my end, but the design and size works for fast site pick up and accuracy, especially for those with aging eyes I’d suspect. This seems to give a better idea of the site picture. Will I run out any buy them? No, but I think they could be a good option for some.

As stated earlier, they aren’t new. Steyr had these on their original M series polymer striker fired handguns back in the 90s.

They are similar to the trapezoidal sights on the steyr, but hardly identical.Steyr_M-A11.jpg

Cousins maybe.

Sort of a knock-off of XS?

Sorta. I had XS on a number of guns in the past on my SD/CCW guns.

Similar, but far from the same.
