Bit the bullet and bought....

[Guest Oaklands]

I have been contemplating the XS 24/7 Express Big Dot sites, so today I decided let's get 'em. I bought a Para C7.45 a short time back and the night sights were faded out on it.

My eyes aren't what they used to be and I need a bit of light when shooting. I can't shoot with both eyes open as I always see 2 front sights and my eye doctor has the same problem and said there is nothing that can be done.

I can shoot pretty darn good with my dominant or non-dominant eye but I do have to focus a bit at first. I don't like the delay when it comes to a self defense situation and from all the reviews and forums I have visited, most people say they are fast to get on target.

No they are not good for distances from 10-15 yards out (this varies by the person giving the review). However, if I am at home, there is no place in my house with that much distance and most encounters outside of the home are going to be within that distance.

I'm really excited about getting them and have not made up my mind if I am going to install them myself or have a gunsmith install them for me.

I'll post later after I have them on the gun and go to the range with them.

I also bought XS 24/7 sights for my Walther PPS and they are pretty fast to the target for my aging eyes. The rear sight line is pretty faint to see which makes it fairly inaccurate

but good enough for combat accuracy.

I have them on my Glock 23. I was somewhat skeptical about them before I bought them. However, after using them I am a believer. For me my eyes, I pick them up faster than anything else. At combat distances 7 yards or less they are very accurate and fast. With practice I have gotten good at hitting 6" steel plates at 25 yards too. I highly recommend them.
