Sorry about the long link, but has anyone heard of/used/seen these before? I'm in the market for some aftermarket sights for my G26 or XDm, and found these. Don't think they're what I want, but figured I'd ask around...

That is the same type sights that were used on the Steyr glocklike gun.I always thought they were a little too funky for my taste.

I see these sights as not offering any real benefit over traditional type sights. Although they look unorthodox, I don't see a speed advantage with them.

The only unorthodox sights that I feel offer a benefit (speed / easier to see) over traditional type sights are the XS Sights and the SureSights.

I use XS Sights...but, they're not to everyones liking.

I have tried SureSights and feel the concept has alot of merit, but the company has been plaqued with QC and production issues. If it wasn't for these problems, I'd probably be using them on my defensive pistols.

If someone favors traditional type sights, I think Warren and Heinie offer the best product (mainly because I'm partial to 2-Dot vs. 3-Dot sights when it comes to traditional type sights).

From the sure sight web sight....

WE ARE CURRENTLY BACK-ORDERED AND YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT SHIP FOR 6-12 WEEKS.

And even that is not accurate...there are people that have ordered, and paid for, SureSights over a year ago and still have not received their order.

Great concept, but it has not been successfully brought to market yet.

I have a set of Amer-Glo sights in my Glock 35. They have a narrow front post and a wide rear notch, green front, yellow rear. They work very well and are not too pricey.

I really like the standard factory sites on Glocks (goalpost, U sort of thing on rear). For what it's worth...

I don't like the ones linked. Seems like there is too much going on. Especially with that very small tip of the triangle. I had some Sure Sights for the XD when they first came out and they flat out work! They seem huge when sighting but aren't any bigger than other sights in comparison and bright doesn't even come close to describing them. They are however, very poorly supported at the moment and should cause some pause.
