Great sight, fast target acquisition. The fiber optics are very bright. The three dots make it very easy to find your target and put rounds on target.
Sean prototyped my Browning BuckMark with a right-handed set of TriClops sights and then asked me to fast draw / draw-down in the shop, at a combat/conflag range target. He immediately pointed out my eye-work error (“eyes wide open!”), and had me run it again. I took it to the range and had a few raised eyebrows when I showed it off - then shot it, and let a few others try it. All good results. This isn’t made for putting holes in pennies at 20 yards… it’s for saving your life. Looking forward to having my XD-40 set up soon. It’s got me wondering how this might work on a shotgun..!
Awesome sights. Easier to find than a carry sized red dot for sure, and accurate. Makes rapid fire much better now. I’ll be trying these on other guns now.
I recently completed a formal research project comparing the Triclops sight system with an Iron sight system. The results were clear. The Triclops sight system evidenced a statistically significant increase in target hits when compared with the iron sight system. The research has been completed and is to be published.
This is the future of gun sights. It may take a bit for people to come around but all you need to do is try them. They make shooting accurately easier. I have no want for a red dot any longer after testing red dot next to the triclops. It’s just simply better
Triclops Sights
I took my small little sub compact to the range with my new Triclops sights. Started close around 7yds to get a feel for the sight. It happened quickly, around 5 shots before I was in a small ring. This was amazing as it is but what really surprised me was being able to shoot quite a long distance somewhere around 25 yards with my small little carry gun and be extremely accurate. I was also happy with how quickly I could now shoot my carry gun. I plan on trying these sights on one of my larger full size competition guns and can’t wait to see the results. So more to report later
I purchased this sight and I like it for several reasons. 1) Quick and easy to discern when alignment is off – in contrast to a red dot, where you have little to no reference if the dot is out of frame. 2) Natural integration with most suppressors -- no need for raised sights or a weird form factor. 3) Electronic failures are impossible -- while you still get nicely illuminated dots, you don’t have to worry about on/off switches, battery replacement, or sensor/hardware failure.
This is a great sight, compact, easy to clean, well manufactured, and offers an outstanding sight picture. Intuitive to learn, the Triclops sight is far better than your typical iron sight, and it's is in a completely different category than RMR sights. It's almost it's own category.
This is way more than a training tool. We have 3 guns in our house with them and they are amazing! The second clip out of my gen 1 Glock i was hitting a 4 inch plate at 12 yards. Many will laugh at that, but 7:43 I could have never done that with my old factory sights. I have never been a good shot, so for me to do that was a game changer for me.
To me it comes down to attitude. There are people who will refuse to use them because of what they are used to and have a bias. But if you have an open mind, i think you will be very happy with the results.
This is not a tool like some people think. This is a tried and very true sight. After running this, I will never go back to red dots. I can shoot more accurately and much faster with this. From the holster on a cold draw, I took my time from .85 with a red dot to .63 with this sight. It just makes running and gunning a no brainer. He's right, LOOK at your target, not the sights; the sights will be there in the background and you seriously have to try to miss on purpose. These sights are incredible and I recommend anyone who edc's to run them.
"First, if you are not used to shooting an RMR, the learning curve is greater than the Triclops. Second, the Triclops is faster, especially at close range within seven yards. If the front sight is in the box, you are going to get torso hits. For a self-defense perspective, or for law enforcement, this is a big bonus."
"I want to thank Sean at TriclopsSights.com for hooking me up with this sight system to test and evaluate. Pretty much an analog CCO and NVD capable. First 15 rounds with the sight were at 7 meters doing first round draw drills. First two were flyers b/c I wasn't using the sight correctly. I was skeptical at first but now all I can say is wow. Put the threat in the TV screen and squeeze."
Triclops sights have me wanting a handgun more than ever. The sight made it so comfortable for speed of sight and at the same time accurately hitting my target through three different clips worth of rounds. Highly recommended.
