I have one on my EDC Nomad 9 g19. I love it, I pick it up well in all light conditions and it is snag free. I first seen it on a Sig P365 SAS and had to have one.

I thought it looked like it'd cover up a lotta the target. But the idea of no front sight was kinda interesting.
I'd still hafta wonder if my old "funky" eyes could see them well enough. 👨‍🦳
Mebbe I'll trip over some at a store one-of-these-days..
 
It does cover up a right smart of the target but it's " minute of man" and that's all I'm looking for. I have astigmatism in both my eyes and I pick it up well. I also use Ameriglo Spartan big dots and I pick up the bullseye just as well. It's a little "gimmicky" but I really do like it and shoot it well.

There's a meme that goes something like:

Child: Parent, can we buy product X?
Parent: We have product X at home.
Product X at home: an objectively inferior version of product X.

In all seriousness though, I am kinda interested in this sight.

I cannot speak for how it looks/points fitted to a Glock or other handgun but on the 365SAS it felt like I was aiming though the back plate and had no real site picture. My aiming/bullet placement felt more like an educated guess.

Don't get me wrong, I think the sights are nifty. I really wanted to like them, but I just couldn't. If I was not accustomed to traditional sites, I might feel differently.

If you are strongly one eye dominant, or if you really like peep sights, this will be good for you.

I was right eye dominate till this "anomaly" showed up in that eye a few years ago. Currently I'm about 1300 rounds into tryin to figure out how this is gonna work. I tripped across these while lookin into what kindof old eyes friendly sights were available for the CZ75 and the novelty of'em piqued my curiosity.
But at $130 I'd prolly hafta hedge t'wards somethin more familiar.

@hp468 - Thanks!
 
Saw my first Sig 365 at Battery Oaks and was amazed at the idea of inline sights. Purchased one shortly after. Loved the compactness of the pistol and the trigger pull. But I just could not get used to those sights. I've spent 60 years concentrating on that front post and suddenly it was gone. Probably an old dog new tricks thing on my end. Good concept but it just didn't work for me.
