Notlongago Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I see the flashpoint is longer, and cheaper. Both sights are made out of steel, so what am I missing? Why the $15 price difference? I'm leaning toward the flashpoint right now because longer FO= more light gathering unless someone can point me a different direction. Has anyone else figured out a better way to secure the non-screwed on end other than a zip tie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgtsvi Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I like the Hi Viz tricomp because they sponsor the sport and the triangle front sight is a good slug sight for long range targets. I use the tip of the sight like a rifle sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJW Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The difference is how it mounts around the existing bead. I believe with the Flashpoint you screw the bead back in over that hole in the plastic frame, which helps hold it in place. So, the Flashpoint will sit closer to the shooter than the TriComp, giving you a shorter sight radius. Outside of that, I am not sure there is a huge difference.

EkuJustice Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Bigger is not better on shotgun sights. On a shotgun you shoot with a target focus so the bead shouldn't be overpowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
