Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Anybody using the Mepro FT Bullseye sight?

How do you like it? What's better - red or green?

All I know about colors pertaining to gun use is that green laser is preferable to red because it is easier to spot in daytime. It might be helpful to look at SiG P365 SAS reviews.

That is not a factual statement. Not everyone sees one color better. While many see green better, some do not. I use both, and find the green slightly advantageous. The topic of lasers is not even on the table.

In regards to the Mepro FT sight consider this.

What is better for precision iron sight shooting?

A long sight radius, or a short sight radius?


The objective of using the sights is to aid in the precise placement of the projectiles. That is why bullseye shooters use longer barreled guns or guns with a long sight radius.










It is also one of the reasons why guns like the G34 are so incredible easy to shoot well. The combination of the guns features and the longer sight radius.



The Mep FTs are essentially a front and rear sight with an incredibly short radius. That is it. Nothing more. You still have to align the front sight properly in relation to the rear sight if you expect any kind of accuracy past spitting distance. Accuracy matters in shooting events in spite of what many might think. A setup like this deliberately handicaps you and offers no advantage over a longer traditional setup that allows precise placement of the projectiles.

I know I would never want to have to take a critical CNS shot (like someone holding a gun to the head of someone else) with a sight setup like this.

How ironic it's called a "bullseye sight." Maybe it's better than using the corner edge of the slide in an emergency, but probably not much more so.

I don't think it's meant as an implication that it's a Bullseye competition sight or even that it's particularly accurate. I think it's a reference to what the sight picture looks like. But yeah - could be that it's slightly better than simply using the silhouette of the rear of the gun.

Upon further investigation, it appears that the biggest drawback of the sight is its lack of any adjustment.

I'm not sure the sight radius is much of a factor with the FT - pupil alignment acts as the rear sight just like an RDS, although an RDS is more precise. If your eye isn't aligned you don't see the dot.

Like FreeMe mentioned, the biggest factor for me is the lack of sight adjustment.
