What Are Co-witness Sights? Simply put – co-witness refers to the alignment of your iron sights with your red dot sights. If your irons and your optics are both sighted in, you would expect them to be aligned (co-witnessed) with each other when you line up your shot.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the design of the factory Glock sights. They are more than accurate enough for self defense use. ... They(plastic sights) are prone to breakage with even 'mild' use that would never be considered abuse to metal sights.

The MRO HD is parallax free, with infinite eye relief for quick and accurate engagement no matter your shooting position. With its larger objective lens and shortened optical length, the MRO HD virtually eliminates the “tunnel vision” or tube-effect common to many red dot sights.

No, you can't. The tritium that is in the lamps of your sights has a half-life of 12 years, meaning you can expect your sights to gradually dim.

Are EOTech sights really worth the money? ... EOTechs allow miling off the reticle, and have a finer 1 moa dot. Frankly, red dots completely improve the dynamics of aiming. You have only 3 things to line up (eye - dot - target), you can aim without good cheek weld, and the dot is way more visible in low light than irons.

First, they are a far more precise method than using your eye. While visually bore sighting a firearm may get you on paper at 100 yards, laser bore sighting will put you much closer to center and will require less ammo in the long run when zeroing the rifle.

The idea is simple you utilize plates of glass and a light. A red dot has a spherical mirror that reflects the light emitted from an LED of its axis focus. That spherical reflector has a special coating that only reflects red light. This prevents other light from disrupting your reticle.

The Vortex Mil Dot reticle features subtensions that are based on the radian. The terms mil and mrad refer to a milliradian—a distance that equals 1/1000 of a radian. A radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that is equal in length to the radius of the circle.

Sig Sauer's New X-RAY Tritium Sights. I don't normally think of sights as “optics” per-se, but Sig Sauer's Electro-Optics division is rolling out their new X-RAY pistol sights. They're a 3-dot tritium system, but these tritium inserts maintain a clean white color in daylight.

A rifle scope specification includes two numbers. The first number identifies the magnification while the second number identifies the diameter of the objective lens. Thus, a specification of 8.5×50 describes a scope with 8.5× magnification and an objective lens that is 50 mm in diameter.

Eye relief at any power isn't very good, and varies considerably with the magnification setting. ... Not as much magnification, but only one sighting system, and the glass is *lots* better (though I paid a lot more too). I'm happier with the 1-4x system than with this NcStar scope + 45-degree iron sights.

Fiber-optic sights pull this off by using an optical fiber that is transparent and flexible, often made of thin threads of plastic or glass about the size of a human hair. This optical fiber is able to transmit light along its fibers, making fiber-optic sights a great choice for a handgun or pistol.
