See all sights? Any experience or opinions

[Saltwater60]

I follow the good gun on twitter and saw a set of these on his page. I’m just am wondering what people think of these. It’s basically a reflex or red dot without batteries. Some have tritium and some don’t.
it seems you can replace pistol sights with these too in place of a red dot. I’d be more interested in one for my AR-15 with these troubled times. Also @ $150 I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
Never heard of them so just seeing if anyone has any experience and what they think of this style sight.

Wow!!! That looks very interesting. I hope someone here has hands on experience with one, I'd really like to hear the positives and negatives.

I have used the see all sight before and I thought it worked very well. However, I was slower to getting a sight picture on the see all sight than using a red dot EOTech. Not sure why, but getting the big chevron arrow aligned up exactly in the middle takes some getting used to.

The other thing that I did not like but have no real world experience is the use of polycarbonate plastic. Polycarbonate is very durable, however, easily prone to scratching. I took a carbine course with it and the instructor took a black sharpie to it to fake an optic failure. I was not able to successfully buff out the sharpie black without causing some scratching on the optic. I did eventually sell it to a friend.

EDIT: This is a good video on how it looks like to actually use it..

Interesting. I’ve never used a red dot because I have a bad estigmatism and they are super blurry to me.
I think the design flaw to this site after thing about it and seeing the video is the black line needs to be lined up with the top of the lense. I think they lense should be larger and there should be a black circle or something in the lense so you don’t lose the triangle if you look over it. That searching is what likely slows you down.

Thanks, sure would like to look through one before I lay out any long green.

Saltwater60, I like red dots for certain kinds of shooting and have had more than a few. I thought the Eotech was the best for my purpose but as I got older my astigmatism made the nice 1 MOA dot into a star and I gave it up. I now have a prism red dot from Vortex and the dot is not affected by my sight limitations. They are not as bright as the laser types but the dot is visible even if the battery dies.

Yes that’s the plan is a prism sight but I saw this and the $150 price tag was greatly attractive.
Ive got a few more important things to do first so we will see.

Interesting about the astigmatism. I have it too, and red dots do look kind of like starbursts to me, but wearing my glasses corrects the issue for me. Do glasses not fix it for you guys or do you not wear glasses?

Also prism red dots don't give you the starburst effect if you have astigmatism? Do you guys recommend any particular brand? I'd love one that I can see well when I'm not wearing glasses.I

As far as the See All sights, I considered them a couple of times for a handgun, but decided against them. Everything I've read says they're slower to acquire than good irons or a big red dot and not as precise as good target sights or a smaller red dot. I'd try it on a handgun if I had enough money in my gun budget to spend it and not care if I ended up hating it and selling it at a loss or eating the cost for it to sit in a junk parts bin. For a rifle, I'd rather go with an optic (either scope or red dot) and backup iron sights since there's more real-estate for multiple sighting devices versus on a handgun. Of course, that's also a good argument for trying it on your rifle. If you end up liking, but not loving it, you can always keep it as a backup option to your primary sighting device.

Ah, what the heck, I'm giving it a go. I'll let you all know what I think. I just hope it doesn't end up as Karma, been pretty fair with that, well, mebby I'm not the one that takes that measure.

I think I read they have a 30 day refund process. No questions asked.

took the gun out for a sight in and though I like the sight, it will take a bit of getting used to. Now I really haven't spent enough time with it ti be very definitive about it but driving home and reviewing myself, it seems to me a firm cheek weld in the same place every time is essential. Simple right?
