I’ll have to check...he may be a member of my gun club.

[FateAmenableToChange]

And by apparent scam, I mean that a lot of people appear to have ordered this but never received the sights or a refund.

I don’t believe it with Kari on maternity leave.

[mountainlion]

I will stick with what has worked for hundreds of years thanks.

[Noumenon]

Most guns ARE accurate. It’s the shooter who needs training. that’s like one of those local new s reports that start out, “...an SUV jumped the center barrier and crashed head on...,” or “...an SUV swerved across two lanes and crashed into someone’s living rooom.”

Damn - all these inanimate objects with minds of their own. I guess I’ll just send my FAL off to the range for some schooling...

[Billthedrill]

Dang it, if I can date wearing beer goggles I can shoot wearing beer goggles. Anyway, you save on targets if you bring them back without any of those little holes in them like the other people at the range have.

New Device Makes Guns More Accurate

Technically, a new sight won't make a gun more accurate, but it might make YOU shoot more accurately.

We need a laser beam that bends to simulate the trajectory of the bullet.

Actually, it'd be pretty easy to get the same effect with a two-beam laser sight. The first beam would be a laser range finder (IR, or very short pulse, so as not to be visible).

The second beam would be visible, and its direction would be adjusted based on the range.

I think you might be right..that’s why I asked for multiple samples to test...mounted on all kinds of weapons (don’t forget the ammo!)

[Joe 6-pack]

Sounds like the guttersnipe sight which has been around for decades...

IIRC, it was originally developed for the ASP modified S&W M39....

[devistate one four]

Like the tracers I have on my arrorws! (NOT)

[K-oneTexas]

I like the laser, a nice ‘RED’ one. Shows up nice on the target.

If it’s in the middle of the target’s chest ... he can see it too. Excellent!

[longtermmemmory]

sounds like somebody repackaged an old product and is now groveling for police department contract money.

SureSight

Kind of the same idea, but more low profile?

[Erasmus]

Experts explain that they use a (so-called) “gun” to fire small pieces of metal they call “bullets” at high speed.

[Yorlik803]

Is that was is on top of my pistol? I thought they were a defect and I took a grinder to them.

[dog breath]

If they can come up with something to overcome panic and shaking, that’s what people really need. I do have another invention that reduces practice time, it’s called a shotgun.

[Joe Boucher]

lazer sight on my Kimber is dead on at 50 feet. honest. Big hole. Hollow points. Big hole.

[garyhope]

Thank you. I agree and I googled everywhere trying to get a pix of the thing. Is that a brand name or just a descriptive term?

A simple picture would have said more than all the words and searches.

Anybody know where I can see one?
