Israeli Night sight and optics manufacturer Meprolight has launched new versions of their FT Bullseye pistol sights for six handgun models. Included in the round-up are the Sig P226 and P320, Smith & Wesson M&P and M&P Shield, H&K VP9 and Remington R1 pistols. The sights were first introduced at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas last January.
The FT Bullseye takes the idea of sight picture and turns it on its head. Normally, shooters acquire a sight picture by aligning the front and rear sights. Meprolight has eliminated the need for that front sight by creating a lens and reticle on the rear sight. When the visible dot is centered in the circle, the gun is on target. The company says this design tweak allows for a more intuitive shooting experience which provides quick and accurate target acquisition and shot placement.
The FT Bullseye uses tritium combined with fiber optics to achieve a bright sight even under low-light conditions. The sight requires no batteries and offers a sleek, low-profile design that works well with most holster choices.
Amir Karo, Meprolight's Director of Marketing for the US market, says, "The sale of these sights started last September and we have already sold thousands of units worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We expect to sell tens of thousands of units during 2017. We have had favorable response from both civilian users and law enforcement and federal agencies, and we receive many requests for additional versions, for almost every handgun model on the market. Indeed, our intentions are to release more versions for more handgun models in the coming year."
