Not a fan of them, but to each their own.
I have them on a Glock 19 and love them. They are really great for 15 yards and less but a little harder to use out at the 25 yard line

Pretty telling that the pres of the company has to make a video to prove the sights can be used at a distance.
As for hitting that far away, that's cool that he can do that, but I don't get into many 100-yard pistol fights. They are for up-close work.
Big dots are meant to be battle sights... not target or game sights.
I can see differentiating battle sights from target (slow fire) sights, but not necessarily from "gaming" sights. After all, when shooting USPSA/IDPA/etc. you're still trying to engage multiple targets accurately and as fast as possible to make the shot. Besides accounting for low light situations by adding a Tritium vial, there really shouldn't be much difference between the two.
Actually, Yeager is the President of Tactical Response, the training company, not XS Sights. Maybe Shay can chime in on this, but I believe Yeager is just a huge fan of the sights.

True, but you'll be hard pressed to find many above a C or D shooting them in USPSA. Maybe they have a better place in IDPA due to the focus on carry gear and close-up shots. I can't speak for IDPA though, I don't own a 5.11 vest.Good point, though there are some who use Big Dots in IDPA and USPSA.
Precisely, which is why I don't have an issue with differentiating them from pure target style sights.Gaming sights aren't focused on "grouping" shots in a one inch circle, we have a little more room to play with.
