    It seems overcomplicated compared to a good set of sights that 1/3 cowitness with a mrdo. It also seems like they'd have to have different points of impact beyond their zero distance due to their height over bore difference. That's likely not something 99% of people would be impacted by, but still a concern. One cool thing these could offer that's not really part of their intended design is yanking the rear sight up only for some super long distance second zero.

    So you’ll be doing 1000 yards with your Glock?

    I would think they could be precise enough, if machined correctly. I’m sure we’ll hear more in the future.

    Ewww no, 1,000 yards with a m&p or Walther though sounds fun. ;-) I was thinking more like if they're zeroed at 25, the point of impact at 50 would probably be noticeably different. If they're zeroed at 50, it probably would minimize the difference a bit. Again though, something that won't impact the 99% of people that keep handgunnery inside of 25 yds.

    The second zero with the rear up only would be just a novelty, but something these could do that other sights can't. In rough mental mind thinking, it'd probably end up being something like a 150-200 yd zero or something.

    Are suppressor height sights on a non-suppressed gun that much of a problem? Seems like a solution looking for a problem. They're priced right though...not out of line with regular glock sights

    Non-suppressor sights with a suppressor isn't even THAT much of a big deal as you can still line them up, covering the target with the suppressor.
