TRUGLOairsoft-Gun-Sights

Bought this to replace the factory bead. On a shotBought this to replace the factory bead. On a shotgun. The installation was pretty easy once you get that tiny screw in the site. The high visibility on this is really a great improvement to the original factory bead

This sight was really impressive for the money. At ~20$ you could have a high-contrast bead. The circular contrast of fibers with the light channeling is what makes it pop. I shoot clays and have a few different brands and this bead would look nice on any of them. As other reviewers have stated, don't expect this thing to be gigantic. It seems compact because of the nested fiber colors, where a solid bead would take up the whole space. The odd thing to me was that the bottom is not completely flat. It has a small raised area near the screw post, maybe to keep it from rubbing off a finish? This will not hold on its own and does need some sort of adherent (loctite, etc.) As you can find on handgun forums, this is a great front sight post replacement for handguns too. I put it on a micro-compact 9 and it is not too big. the multiple thread sizes were great and I just opened the original hole slightly for threading and had a 20$ high-contrast fiber post.

I like having the contrast of both colors, so my eyes seem to pick up the bead easier regardless of conditions. However, it’s not as bright as a single fiber tube. If having trouble with getting it aligned, place painters tape on the rib and tighten until straight then trim excess tape.

Not sure why other reviews are so low...Installed on a FedArm SS12, break action, single shot12ga, smooth barrel.1) Yes it is a bit "fiddly" to install and the screws are itty bitty. Some patience and just a small bit of skill are needed. I found the correct post, screwed the top end into the sight and screwed the post into the tapped hole on my barrel. It didn't line up. It was almost 90 degrees off. No worries, loosen the post in the barrel and retighten. This advanced the sight more forward and after a few repetitions it was on tight and aligned straight. Read several reviews that said the fiber optic cracked on install. Obviously, finesse wins out over brute strength. Part of the post protruded into the barrel. Got out the Dremel and used a small, rough grit sanding drum. At 15,000 rpm it took just a quick touch to sand the post flush with the inside of the barrel. On hindsight the Dremel was probably overkill and a manual sanding would probably do you fine.2) Height. Yep, this things sticks up a bit taller than a standard bead. Or at least on my application it did. Note in the closeup pic that there is a small gap between the sight and the barrel. Honestly this looks made for ribbed barrels so it would likely snug down way better there. Also, I didn't use any thread locker on it. Seems I got it tight enough the way I installed it. Fired several rounds and it didn't budge. YMMV3) Asthetics. It ain't classic, but that's not what you look for in a product if this nature. I do like the look a lot though. Better than a snap on sleeve for a plain barrel or a magnetic mount for ribbed, either of which have a huge "look at me" aspect. This is discreet, yet functional.4) Sight picture. It was all I could ask for. The SS12 has a rather deep sighting groove on the receiver and the TruGlo Fat Bead lined up nice with it. The Dual Color is a very nice touch and I can see myself liking this more and more as I go along.Overall I'm very satisfied. I took one star off because it is a slight pain to install and the mount isn't flush on my smooth barrel. It's not quite truly "universal." However, I think it's a quality product that does what it should and at a very attractive price.

Had to order 2. The 3-56 didn't work on the Winchester 1300 but the 2 mm did.

Ordered correct thread size for my A400. The problem was that when threaded on it began to feel tight at 90 degrees perpendicular to the barrel. So it would either be turned back and be totally loose or keep turning. I didn’t even apply much pressure and the screw/post snapped off into the threads of my two thousand dollar gun. Luckily Briley is close and they got it taken care of for me. An 80 dollar mistake was made when I purchased this. We’ll close to $100 actually. I won’t buy sights like this in the future. I will only use HIVIZ style with the bracket that gets secured with a standard screw and come with removable/interchangeable filaments. What a pain in the A$$ this was! I hope this helps someone not make the same mistake I did.

My sight was 'previously tried', the torn card and scotch tape were evidence of this. That said..., it looked ok, so i installed it. I used 'Blue Loctite'. took a few turns, was not best fit. I got it to what was 'full tight, needed to go another 1/8th inch....I was skeptical, but gave it a nudge and was LUCKY. It DOES NOT SIT FLUSH with barrel. It IS properly installed. Smooth barrel Winchester. Can slip a business card under it...It is a LOT better than the factory Brass Bead for my old eyes, I just hope it holds up...I KNOW it won't move, especially with Blue Loctite...PLEASE...Don't use Super Glue as suggested in other reviews....Super Glue can't take heat and is brittle when dry. Install it properly. The sight picture is Great now...

Lights up your target..... Easy View

Installed and one more happy customer.Bright and easy to see.

Seems fine.. after installing it I think it would be better if I had gotten the solid color.Other wise fine

Worked as described!

Wasn't too difficult to install though be prepared with tweezers as parts are very small. I'm looking forward to see how it holds up but seems to be good without using threadlock, which will make future work easier.

This site fits perfectly on a Stoeger M 3500 it’s a little bit on the small side for something they called the fat bead, it’s smaller than the original site in diameter but still works very nicely
