I see several threads on the gunboards about this sight and the 365 SAS pistol. I have seen several referances to this new sight being equated to the old Guttersnipe sight, that was used on the ASP pistol.
While I think the ideas were similar, the execution is completely different and I don't see much, if any, correlation between the two.
The "new" sighting system on the 365 SAS MAY be useable at very close range, to users who don't practice, train or shoot much. But I think that there will be problems for those same users going from the holster......a concealment holster at that, to making a viable sight picture - quickly - at close range.
And at distances beyond 3 feet, I can see folks fiddling around and wasting valuable time "trying to find the dot".
For folks employing this gun and sight system, some training in the Cirillo method - using the outline of the back of the slide to index the gun on target at close range - would be beneficial. If not necessary. I have seen folks at the range having problems finding the red dot on their pistols. The new sight system will not be as user friendly as a red dot, IMHO.
And I won't bother addressing the porting on a sub compact "get off me gun". Not needed. Especially in close range scenarios. The guys over on Sigforum who are interested in this gun - not too many
- are talking about replacing the barrel already. But other than that......
