I was looking to find any sort of sights that would make self defense shooting just that little bit easier and I think this is genuinely the perfect sight for me! Thank ya ^
HATED this sight until I put on a compact and wow what a difference. Longer sight picture I am very comfy with, but shorter is so easy to throw or push and this literally shows that happening.
@@hoosierdaddy2308I suspect it’s because the front sight version is narrower, allowing you to see the edges of the target. The rear sight version is wider so you have to guess where the center of the target is more often.
Fair WARNING! It's great if ya don't wear Bi-focal glasses. If ya do, you have to tilt your head back uncomfortably putting you in a bad shooting posture as well, to focus it.
reminds me of the XS Big Dot line. Seems like it would be great for centermass/home defense needs. Maybe less practical for high accuracy, long range, or competition shooting
Was going to say this would be good on a G26 comceal carry for self defense shooting at center mass. Just quick point shooting to drop someone when yoi have only a split second. Intereatimg concept
I've read that if you're out in the rain and moisture gets under that sight it will cause rust on the slide under the sight. You won't know about it until you decide to remove it.
That is any sight with a friction fit into a dovetail since the fit can rub the coatings off of the slide. The way to prevent this is to keep your gun oiled regularly and just add a tiny tiny tiny amount before you go out in the rain and water won't be able to get in there since oil will repel it. Better option is to file your sight to fit the dovetail and then coat it with some finish and install it. If the sight is aluminum you can just file it to fit the dovetail and then you don't have to refinish it since aluminum won't rust. Pretty much all your options. Guns are steel. Steel rusts. Doesn't matter what sight you have. All sights require finessing to get the perfect fit because of tolerance issues. It's gunsmithing
For the guys that have commented and obviously not tried it, this soft functions exactly like a red dot sight that you can’t see thru. My green model is significantly brighter day and night than my dual illuminated RMR. Some people can’t get past not being able to see thru the sight-I get that, what you are supposed to be doing is using the dot and ring for the fast stuff and using the top of the sight housing just like you would use the irons on a normal gun after centering the dot in the window. I’m my practical side by side comparison of a stock G17 and one with the FT, the FT was faster and no less accurate. It is SIGNIFICANTLY better in low light. There is a fly in the ointment though if you wear transitions or bifocals-the reticle gets blurry unless you roll your head back to get on the nearsighted part of the lenses. There is now a front sight version of this FT Bullseye that just came out and I’d recommend trying that one fits of you wear bifocals or transitions because the distance difference to your eye matters. These sights are a godsend for people that have astigmatism and can’t use a red dot, there is no starburst with these. None.
It’s being used as a back up sight on a Glock based braced PDW, I don’t use it much but still look at it occasionally-I can’t tell a difference in brightness yet.. I’d get the new version that replaces the front sight if I were to do it again.

I think the original was the guttersnipe sight or something like that. I think they were on those full custom cut up Smith M39. They were cool and I THINK the front sight version would be better.
I liked the idea of this... but I ran into an issue being in the dark and looking into a bright area. Or turning on my weapon light trying to aim. I think you hit it. It is good for fast point shooting... I liked the low profile and no front sight needed but couldnt get used to it. Would be a fun sight to place on a range gun though
Because it uses fiber optics and tritium to light itself, it’s always and forever on. You can’t turn it off. At that it’s ideal to use in both day and night conditions. If you aimed at something bright during night time, the fiber optics catch the light and Illuminate your sights more to compensate. It’s pretty genius in my opinion. Also having a “perfect” front post would be amazing since this one is literally projected holographically which makes it practically a perfect front post.
I think it has potential to be super useful in the sense of dual purpose. Say the sides of the sight were a bit taller (like suppressor height sights,) and a matching front sight. At the very least, that could be a fail safe.
Wish I would have found it when it first came out. I have found it is really easy to use and has really helped my groups, I have shot handguns my entire life and really don't practice that much anymore and the first time I used it I found it to be really easy to acquire my target and control. The only problem I have is the tritium is barely bright enough for my tired eyes at night.
@@TopShotDustin The Bullseye is very quick to pick-up when there's enough ambient light, but with my eyes, the green night-sight is difficult for me to use. While the Green Dot pops out fine, the ring is hard for me to pick-up and to find its center. I guess I need more night time practice while wearing my reading glasses.
The Mepro FT Bullseye Front Sight was developed with American shooters in mind, who are often trained to focus on the front sight for the quickest target acquisition allowing a much faster engagement time. It was originally designed for IDF ( Israel Defense Forces .
I have these on my g19 and I couldn't hit an 8" gong at about 30 yards. Came to youtube for research on what I'm doing wrong. I see a tiny gap between the front of the sights and my slide. Is that normal? Does yours have that?
shoot I pulled this thing off soon after the video. it's really just a point shooting aid. And if I can also remember without rewatching the video - it was several inches off as well. It's useless unless you just point shoot.
@@TopShotDustin Thanks for the fast reply. I have a sig p365 SAS model and I've been considering taking the sight off to clean it, but I was worried about messing up the zero.
Dustin Ellermann Beginners I understand because I have instructed many LE & Civilian classes where this is a problem that one has to deal with when trying to teach previous shooters. It’s just not something many people teach which surprised me because many people weren’t taught that. I always have to remember that not everyone knows what you know. Sorry I guess my ignorance seeped out.

so it seems like you're aiming low... is this sight supposed to be like combat sights or target sights... if they are like combat then the entire target should be covered by the green dot not under it.
The first 30 seconds were pretty painful to watch. I get that there was not bullet in the chamber but a loaded magazine with your finger on the ready position is not safe. I get that nothing bad happened but you are basically swinging around a loaded gun. Take the loaded mag out and show that the gun is empty like every big gun RUclipsr. Live rounds should never be in a gun that is being swung around, safety first.

I wanna hear how you like them please because Im looking at these, too.
HATED this sight until I put on a compact and wow what a difference. Longer sight picture I am very comfy with, but shorter is so easy to throw or push and this literally shows that happening.
I still think it's dumb. just a point shooting aid.
I’ve had both versions of this sight, and I can say the front sight version is INFINITELY better. I hated the rear one.
Good to know.
So you don’t buy both, just one or the other ?
@@iLLBiLLsRoastBeatsjust one
Why is the front so much better may I ask?
@@hoosierdaddy2308I suspect it’s because the front sight version is narrower, allowing you to see the edges of the target. The rear sight version is wider so you have to guess where the center of the target is more often.
Just dawned on me this is THE Top Shot Dustin. Dude is a hell of a marksman.
Awe thanks
sounds like it is going to bring everything into one focal plane. I bet its fast to acquire and fast to learn how to use. especially for beginners.
Thanks Dustin for the review and showing me how those sights work. I prefer the three dot sights or TruGlows TFO's and my favorite Meprolight.
Fair WARNING! It's great if ya don't wear Bi-focal glasses. If ya do, you have to tilt your head back uncomfortably putting you in a bad shooting posture as well, to focus it.
There’s a way to fix that, but it involves getting the lenses swapped around
reminds me of the XS Big Dot line. Seems like it would be great for centermass/home defense needs. Maybe less practical for high accuracy, long range, or competition shooting
XS Big dot would even be more precise thank this.

@@mikesanchezgsxr You don't need any sight for that close range shot.
I've read that if you're out in the rain and moisture gets under that sight it will cause rust on the slide under the sight. You won't know about it until you decide to remove it.

It's a colimator sight, parallel rays creating an virtual image of the dot at ∞ distance, so it's basically the same as a red dot.
Any update? Do you still like it and is it still bright at night?

Do NOT get any SPECK of CLP on the acrylic components. Found that out the hard way. It literally bubbles. They sent a replacement no problem though.
So for CCW this is perfect as to having both eyes open and slick
How well do sights like that work in low light/the dark? Does that bright green light make it hard to see the target in those conditions?
Its bright in the video because Fibre optic, itll be darker at night Because it'll only have the tritium powering it
I had never heard of them and I hate XS sights. BUT after this video I will be trying these. Nice clip and thank you. I love new things.

Damn what a good video
I want this on the FN 5.7 MK2
Exactly what I was thinking
Oh, so you can leave the front sight on.
Actually it looks pretty darn good.. I may try if they are affordable
I have one on order that will be in early next week.
tell me what you think.
I love mine, it’s always on and bright. Be aware that it’s really made for legal self defense ranges, so like 10 yards lol.

i have a harder time lining up sight picture when under stress

Hey dude how does it look around 30yards? Do you think I could compete with this?
not a chance. in summary - it's a point shooting aid.
@@TopShotDustin thanks man
What if you are far sighted?
Can you just slap it on and go? Does it have any zeroing or alignment at all during the install?
No adjustments. You get what you get. Lame.
@@TopShotDustin Thanks for the fast reply. I have a sig p365 SAS model and I've been considering taking the sight off to clean it, but I was worried about messing up the zero.
hope yours was closer to POI than mine.
Does it comes for the 43x?
Not adjustable, correct?
Nope.
Will this work on walther pdp 4in compact
Looking into these had a glock come with white sights which you can’t see in the dark
great!
Looks great in the light. But what about at night?
Sucks.
You should get a co2 blowback Airsoft pistol and compare it to a suppressed .45
You should delete your profile and log off the internet.
Why put something like this on a G34? Aren't you negating the benefit of the long sight radius?
Because I was given a Glock sight to put on a Glock to test.
And it took it off because I hated it.
Does it fit a new Glock 48
Yes- Part-Number: ML63102R
I only wish I bought one sooner.
No thank you.
Your like 1 inch from getting slide bite
Is it good for a whalter PPQ ?
Not sure if they make it for that model.
The Mepro website does not list Walther as being compatible....wish it was
“...you’re going to have to shoot with both eyes open...” UH...You ALWAYS shoot with both eyes open...
You’d be surprised. I’ve taught dozens of beginners who haven’t acquired that ability yet.

You guys shoot with both eye open when using iron sights?
I don’t use both eyes because it can throw off your shots unless you have absolutely 20/20. If you have bad eyes then closing one really helps.
T J Yes. It definitely takes practice to get used to if you’ve been shooting with one closed for a while, but it’s worth it.
How is this any different from night iron sights?

Enough of these firearm Karens.
😭
See I thought this was a front sight?
2 questions how much $$? & how abt shooting w/both eyes open w/it ? does it still work OK?? TY
I think it's $150 - and you have to shoot with both eyes open because it's blocking the target.
