IF
YOU CAN'T HIT WHAT YOU SHOOT AT, WHAT'S THE POINT
OF HAVING A GUN?
You
own a handgun to hit what you shoot at, right? Whether
it's defending yourself and loved ones, sporting competitions,
or just target practice, an accurate and easily-seen
sight will help you hit your target.
What if there were a sight that
could help you get faster, more accurate hits-even
when you're staring at the target and are not focused
on your gun's sights?
NOW GAIN THE ADVANTAGE OF SWIFTER TARGET
ACQUISITION.
SureSight enables you to develop
better precision and speed. And that builds the confidence
you need. In fact, the design of this handgun sight
is so unique-so one of a kind-that it was awarded
its own utility patent. (#6,36,0471)
 SureSight
aligns quickly! The front sight is visually
"stacked" on top of the rear sight, and
the resulting alignment forms a triangle. The tip
of the triangle becomes the point of impact. This
allows you to SIMULTANEOUSLY see much more front sight
and more of the target.
|
|
SureSight
is aimed by aligning the front and rear
sights so that they form a triangle.
Once aligned, SureSight exposes more
of the target than conventional sights,
while still providing an easier-to-see
front sight, as can be seen in a properly
aligned SureSight in the photo on the
left. In the overlay on the right, you
can see how SureSight simultaneously
allows for increased sight visiblity
AND increased target visiblity, versus
notch & post sights. |
|
SureSight
can be aimed even when your eye is focused on the
target. The SureSight ST-1 was specifically
designed to be "aim-able" while your eye
remains focused on the target, not the sights. (In
gunfights, viewing the threat often overpowers trying
to focus on the gun's sights.)
|
|
If
this man was trying to kill you, where
would you be looking, at your front sight,
or at HIM? SureSight's unique shape and
color allow you to stare at the threat
and still pick up a sight picture. Note
how the SureSight still gives a sight
picture, while standard "3-Dot"
notch and post sights are much harder
to see while focused on a threat. |
|
Accuracy is usually better and
quicker if the main focus of the eye is on the front
sight. Under pressure, however, stress can typically
prevent the ability to focus on the front sight. Our
larger and "involuntarily seen" sight delivers
good, repeatable hits on a man-sized target out to
7-10 yards, even if the shooter's focus is intently
on the target. The front sight's fluorescent yellow
color and distinctive shape facilitate this by making
the sight easily seen, even when your eye is not deliberately
focused upon it.
 SureSight's
front sight is always visible. Because
of our front sight's large size and the rear sight's
relatively small size, the front sight can never
get "lost" in rapid aiming behind the
rear sight. A common problem with traditional notch
& post sights.
Because of the unique configuration
and shape of the SureSight, the size ratio between
the larger front and smaller rear sights do more
than just aid in faster target acquisition. This
advantage also makes shooting multiple targets,
shooting on the move, and regaining sight picture
after recoil much simpler.

|
| Because
of SureSight's innovative shape, the
front sight is always visible, and can
never get "lost" behind the
rear sight, as can be seen in the above
photo. On the other hand, this post
front sight is about to become completely
hidden behind the rear sight with just
a tiny bit more leftward movement. Photos
are deliberately focused on the front
sight, and blurred on the rear, to simulate
vision while shooting. |

 SureSight
makes aiming more intuitive and easier to use under
stress. SureSight's distinctive triangular
shape capitalizes on an inborn skill all humans possess
called "closure", one of the "Gestalt
Principles of Perceptual Organization". This
means that all humans are born with the ability to
complete shapes. Since we are all born with this ability,
our new sight makes aiming more intuitive. And science
substantiates that if an action can be performed intuitively,
it will be more easily performed under stress.
|

According
to the Gestalt Principle of "Closure",
we tend to see complete shapes even
when part of the information is missing.
Your mind completes the triangle in
the figure above on the left even though
the "triangle" is really three
incomplete circles arranged a certain
way. You can clearly see a circle in
the figure in the center, can't you?
Even though it is just a series of smaller
circles, the brain fills in the missing
information. And despite the fact that
there aren't any triangles or circles
in the shape on the right, your mind
is able to fill in the missing information
to create those shapes. When the information
is incomplete, your mind automatically
fills in the shape. |

It is well known that life-threatening
stress can cause physical and psychological changes
to occur. How human bodies and minds react during
stress was studied in depth when developing SureSight.
This investigative research helped produce a sight
that can overcome certain stress symptoms that may
hamper a person's ability to shoot accurately. Such
as:
- People tend to open up both eyes involuntarily under stress, without using one eye and focusing on the front sight.
- Under extreme stress, the eyes
often become physically incapable of focusing at
near objects, such as the front sight. This
survival mechanism causes the eye muscles involuntarily
to focus at a distant threat, rather than focus
on a gun's sights.
- "Tunnel vision", whereby
stress normally decreases peripheral vision by up
to 70%. In this case, even when distracted by an
immediate danger, your mind instinctively forms
the sight triangle and acquires the target without
requiring conscious thought.
The SureSight ST-1 is precision
machined from 4140 steel, the same steel commonly
used to make guns, kitchen knives and surgical scalpels.
Its surface has TWO finish coats, one of which is
the same special rust proof and proprietary coating
in use by government agencies and civilians in the
know, who require a tough and utterly rust proof coating.
Our finish is also extremely scratch and wear resistant.
The yellow color coating is a special
luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) polymer blend developed
specifically for SureSight by a researcher at a school
of polymers and advanced materials of a major university.
It will visibly glow for up to a half hour on a 30
second charge from a bright light source, such as
a SureFire or Streamlight flashlight, or sunlight.
Because of the bright fluorescent coloring and large
viewable surface area, even when the sight does not
glow, it is highly visible in low light. But this
feature can further help competition shooters in night
shooting matches, or patrol officers during building
searches.
We have a lot of faith in our products,
and we back up that faith with our no-nonsense guarantee:
If your sight ever breaks,
we'll replace it, period!

“As a law enforcement range instructor,
I have found the SureSight to be an invaluable
tool particularly for shooters with less than
perfect eyesight. In the case of shooters
wearing bifocals or with depth perception
issues, the Sure Sight has virtually eliminated
the need for one to assume an artificial head
position to obtain an accurate sight picture.
As a user of the Sure Sight, I have found
it to be the first sight system that allows
an immediate clear front sight picture without
interference from the rear sight, resulting
in noticeably more accurate shot placement.”

“I
spent about two hours at the indoor range
yesterday and the sights worked great. I was
able to tear the head and chest out of a silhouette
target. Point of aim was right on. I shot
all the way to 30 yards, which was max at
this range. The front sight just seems to
float in mid air and when the triangle is
complete and on the target I was dead on.
They have helped my IDPA scores remarkably
and really help these old eyes get on target."

that this sight system is hands down the fastest
and best combat sighting system available.
But don’t just take it from me, I showed
the SureSight around work and 12 of the 15
officers I showed them to are in the process
of ordering their own sets."

"SureSight has a strong emphasis on front
sight acquisition, which makes them very quick.
With the human eye having a tendency to center
objects it was very simple to center the front
sight on top of the rear quickly. They also
seem to give me a slight advantage in accuracy.
I enjoy shooting with these sights."

“These sights are great! I found pin
point shooting not a problem. The sights shine
when it comes to rapid shooting. I can't believe
how they performed in rapid fire. It's very
easy to focus on the target and let the sights
align themselves.
I have had a set for a long time now. I am
up and well over 2000 rounds now with them
on. I shoot better and better every time I
shoot. I have become so proficient with them
I keep both eyes open and focus on the target
and the sights are kind of fuzzy, but they
line right up and I can hit center mass every
time. They almost become translucent while
I focus on my target. When I first got my
Glock I was shooting horrible low and left.
These sights help me right out. My cold shots
from a draw have drastically improved and
so have follow up shots.

With the SureSight
I can focus on the target, and still see the
large neon-yellow triangle in my peripheral
vision well enough to keep the sights properly
aligned. Or I can focus on the large front
sight, which is much easier to see and line
up than normal front sights.
At ten yards and under I am able to shoot
baseball size groups rapid fire (2-3 shots
per second) either way: focusing on the front
sight or focusing on the target. At 15 yards,
I was able to keep all shots on a paper plate
target, rapid fire.
The sights are made of black steel with large,
bright, neon-yellow plastic inserts that form
a yellow triangle when correctly lined up.
They are rugged, well made, easy to install,
and look like they will last.
Unlike most sights, the bright yellow triangle
seems to line itself up automatically. I never
had to concentrate on it, and yet the sights
always seemed to be lined up. It was
almost magical the way the sight wanted to
align itself, regardless of whether focusing
on the front sight or the target.
The SureSight isn’t a night sight, but
the large neon-yellow inserts are more visible,
even in dim light, than any other pistol sight
I have used, including night sights.
It is only in near total darkness that the
sight fades.
When using a Glock Tac Light on my Glock-23
in total darkness, the front sight stands
out and is easy to aim. Not because of the
yellow inserts (which can’t be seen
by Tac Light), but because of its unique shape.
The front sight itself is large and diamond
shaped, and easy to align quickly by Tac Light.
The front sight is a unique snag-free design,
unlike any other I‘ve ever seen. And
although it appears large, my Glock-23 still
fits all the same holsters it did before.
The rear sight is lower than most rear sights,
and also snag-free.
Over the years I have tried just about every
type of pistol sight made, and the SureSight
is the fastest, easiest to align, most highly
visible, close range defense sight I’ve
ever used.
