And from everything I can tell, broadly duplicating his work before ever having seen his hardware other than pics, he really has.ДЄt his invitation I went to Sedona and we talked at his shop for a few hours about a month ago.

If Tim Sheehan really has figured out a target-focus sight setup that doesn't need glass, batteries or wires, it would be a breakthrough.

Shooting these sights, focused on the target, you really can make those distinctions. If on the other hand I'm focused on the target, I can tell if they just pulled out a cellphone versus a knife, or a black wallet as opposed to a small black. If I'm focused on the front sight and the target makes a sudden move, I can't tell what the target is actually doing, just that they (or something near them) did 'something'. Scoped rifles are all target-focus and that's been the norm for generations. In handguns, reflex and tubular red-dots are well known but involve glass and batteries most people don't want to deal with. There's other ways to get a target-focus sighting system that are already well-accepted. How much do you want to bet that the cop was focused on the front sight, and couldn't tell whether a sudden hand motion involved a weapon or not?ДЄnd if that's the case, how many other bad shoots have the same cause? What about Amadou Diallo, shot 41 times in New York for pulling a wallet? Granted, this class of accident is thankfully not that common, but it's a fiasco and a half when it does.and if it's happening to cops, it could happen to any of us. Fortunately the guy appears to have survived, with damage to both his right lung and liver. Turns out he was unarmed and a total pacifist (not to mention apparently not a dealer at all) and the department is going to have to pay out megabucks. The cop shined a light in the pot-head's eyes, pot-head flinched and tried to cover his eyes, cop shot him due to the flinch. It is impossible to overstate what a huge difference this is and what a major boost in speed and confidence you get.ДЄ couple of months ago a cop in Michigan knocked on a pot-head's door with a search warrant. Weirder yet, it 'feels like' your subconscious mind is able to deal with sights and gun alignment while your conscious mind is working on threats and targets. Tim's breakthrough it that this sight design can be used even when 'blurry'. You use these by shooting both eyes open, and focusing on the TARGET, not the front sight. This is not a 'normal' aperture sight - it's based off the Goshen Enterprises 'Hexsite' concept by Tim Sheehan: I'm working on a completely revised front that will be closer to Tim Sheehan's originals. My front sight has changed since this pic was taken: I've removed the fiber optic core, and 'blackened' the front mini-hex more. In case you're curious as to what weirdness is going on here: They're worth it for that alone.ДЄnd yeah, I'd desecrate a NewVaq with a laser. The thing about lasers is they're not all that fast, BUT the psychological effect when you paint a goblin with one is just huge. Graft a mount for a 'barrel style' laser onto an ejector rod housing maybe? The NewVaq takes the XR3.so even if you can find the Crimson Trace grips you'd have to swap grip frames too.

The Crimson Trace lasergrip is for the Ruger SA 'XR3-RED' grip frame.
