Aimline Sights Evaluation PT 1

Aimline sights evaluation part 1

We were fortunate enough to receive a set of the Aimline Sights to test out on one of our M&P's and as promised we plan on abusing them and letting the next class take them for a test drive this upcoming Saturday.

First thoughts , the sights were packaged well and the line concept is simplistic in nature and its use should be easily adopted by contemporary 3 dot users.

Installation was easy and completed in 5-8 minutes with the right tools. The front sights interchanged quickly and the rear sights were TIGHT, but I had anticipated that because the weapon had been cerekoted.

In the following pictures you can see the packaging from Aimline, pictures of the sights before and after installation.

Can't wait to get them out on the range!

I would beinterested to know how the gun grouped with the originals & compared to these.

Is it me or are these marketed for qcb vs pinpoint accuracy...I kinda dig it & looking forward to what you think as a combo range / defensive combo

Different! In the pics it looks like the rear sight has a fairly large gap, leaving some space on each side of the front sights. Is this just the pics?

Aimline Sights are marketed as combat sights for quick target acquisition, its a unique concept, as instructors we have always told our students to "line up the dots" and focus on the front and press the trigger. This sight seems to be designed around how our mind thinks and what it picks up on faster , does it find a straight line faster or line up three dots faster? Just in dry fire drills it seems quicker for me to pick up a straight line vs. three dots so far..

Tomorrow I'm hitting the range to do some slow fire accuracy drills, I really want to see what the point of aim/point of impact is compared to other sights that I have used.

It seems to be the same as stock sights, the picture makes it look out of size. That picture was taken at a few inches vs at arms length

Those aren't tritium, are they?

I wonder how they would do in a competition like steel challenge? Pinpoint accuracy isn't critical, other than to hit a 18x24" plate at 45 yards.

No tritium yet, they are in the process of making them..


Just walked off range for their first test run...

Slow fire controlled shots at 3/7/15 yards.

3yrds/5rds : 1 inch group /2 inches low from point of aim
7yrds/5rds : 1.5 inch group / 2 inches low from point of impact
15yrds/5rds : 4 inch group / Low to 6'oclock

All of the groups had a single denominator the "Point of Aim/Point of Impact" as advertised was not seen. All of my groups were low at direct 6'oclock.

As far as hitting steel, simple and fast. I ran a V-tac 9 shot drill with zero issues ringing steel every shot from 15yrds and ran a few speed drills with zero issues ringing steel.

The line comes into sight very quickly when rapid acquisition shots are taken and I liked it! As a combat sight they worked as advertised.

I need to revise something that I had posted......if it was not for a photographer asking a simple question I would have never known that I picked up a bad habit.

Now that I have corrected the simple issue the sights work as advertised as POA/POI, one has to realize even if we are shooting nice tight groups all it takes is a small mistake in shooting form and those nice tight groups will not be were they are supposed to be..
