"While DefenseReview was at NDIA Small Arms Symposium 2007, we ran into a very friendly and enthusiastic gentleman named Gil Elharar, who works for an Israeli company called North East Technologies, Ltd. (NET). Gil showed us a developmental prototype (functional prototype) of a very interesting and somwhat revolutionary combat pistol sighting system. Instead of utilizing the standard front-and-rear sight setup, the NET tactical pistol sight is a one-piece elongated low-profile rear sight comprised of a red fiber optic sight housed inside a lightweight polymer and extruded aluminum case. The prototype sight we saw was mounted on a blue (i.e. inert) Glock 17 (G17) training simulator weapon.
To use the sight, you just...
bring the pistol up and aim it at the target in the normal fashion while keeping both eyes open. When you can see the entire fiber-optic sight as a complete red circle (solid red circular dot) superimposed over (or directly underneath) the aiming point (i.e. target), fire! It's really as simple as that. It's actually very fast and intuitive to use. One of the advantages of the NET monolithic pistol sight is that it should be less prone to snagging on the draw, since it does away with the front sight."
Sounds interesting. Not AS interesting as if, say, the detweiller holding the phony Glock had kept his finger outside of the bloody trigger guard, but interesting nonetheless.
