Anybody Using the SeeAll Open Sight on an M&P?

[Speedo2]

I'm intrigued by the mfg's claims for this device as an aid for tired, old eyes and the price seems right so I went ahead and ordered one. I intend to mount it on a M&P9Pro. So.....has anyone else tried it and if so, any observations and/or recommendations? I'll post my results and thoughts on it following some range time with it, probably next week. Thanks -S2

Looks intriguing...please keep us posted. Put some pictures of the gun with the sight on it so we can see how obtrusive or unobtrusive it is. Range reports would be helpful as well. The site looks nice but I was a little concerned at the schematic-the picture had everything labeled with letters while the schematic listed the corresponding written description by number-glaring mistake.

A few photos of the M&P with "SeeAll" sight mounted, and some observations:

1. Installation was easy, followed Scottie Cox's excellent YouTube video.

2. The sight is mounted onto a dovetail adaptor that relies entirely on it's interference fit with the slide. It feels tight, but only time will tell if it's rigidity, ruggedness and accuracy will last.

3. Sight-in took around 30 shots; much more than they advertised. Of course my efforts could have been reduced had I read the directions and not inadvertently removed the windage spring cap from the left side, wondering why the POI wasn't moving.

4. Targets do not appear in the optic block, only the sighting triangle. Shooting it with both eyes open sort of fakes your mind into seeing the target with the triangle superimposed, but shooting with only the dominant eye open requires a strong 6:00 hold.

5. The sighting triangle was/is difficult to pick up quickly. This would likely be a hinderance for timed completion events.

6. Accuracy was definitely improved with the SeeAll sight. My best grouping at 15 yards was 5 shots within 2 inches from a rested position, also 10 shots within 5 inches off-hand (see photos). For me, that's about as good as I've done in quite a while.

7. With the sight mounted, the gun fit well in its original box, also no problem with it fitting into its holster, a Blackhawk Sherpa (...I know, I know).

Overall, I think that it's a keeper.

Another option, if your tired old eyes need glasses, is to get a pair from your eye doctor that lets your strong eye focus on the front sight. You can do this with bifocals or tri-focals -- or simply have a pair with one lens for the front sight and the other for distance. Then you can see the target and the sight

My Optometrist, back before I had a cataract removed, set my glasses so that my weak eye (the one with the cataract) lens was set for distance shooting, and my strong eye had the lens set for the front sight. That worked well for several years. An Opthamalotist here in town who works with athletes does something similar for various sports.

I've now got a pair of trifocals with reading, front sight, and distance in the same strong eye lens, and reading and distance in the other lens. But, that strong eye has a cataract and I'll soon have to get that dealt with and get new glasses.
