\"I<\/a>

I decided to use the Snake Eyes on my favorite handgun\u2014a Sig Sauer P226.<\/p><\/div>\n

If \u00a0you grew up watching or playing sports, you\u2019ve probably heard the term \u201chigh ceiling\u201d applied to a rookie or freshman player. Athletes with a high ceiling have the potential to be great\u2014they\u2019re freakishly athletic or they have a strong work ethic\u2014but they\u2019ll need good coaching and lots of practice to reach that potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh ceiling\u201d kept running through my mind the first time I took Dead Ringer\u2019s Snake Eyes <\/a>pistol sights to the range. With the right instruction and practice, these bad boys could be a great addition to any concealed carry or home defense handgun. You might find yourself frustrated at first as you learn to use a new sighting system that, admittedly, has its drawbacks. But, given enough practice, these sights allow for lightning-quick target acquisition and the flexibility to land shots in a variety of scenarios.<\/p>\n

Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dead Ringer recommends (clearly and in multiple places) that these sights be installed by a professional gunsmith. The company includes an installation warning on their website<\/a>, and the box says to \u201cconsult a professional gunsmith\u201d before installation.<\/p>\n

\"I\u2019ve<\/a>

I\u2019ve never removed these old sights, so I was pleasantly surprised with how easily they came off.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re uncomfortable with this kind of work, by all means call your local gunsmith. But I figured that most of you\u2014like me\u2014would prefer not to spend the extra money. So I decided to try the installation myself and record the process. It turned out to be a piece of cake.<\/p>\n

I removed my old sights with a hammer and a brass punch. I used a few drops of gun oil to help the process, and I had the front and rear sights off in no time. I would have liked to secure the slide in a bench vice, but I was able to make do by pressing the slide against the table with the heel of my hand.<\/p>\n

The rear sight was quite a bit smaller than I had imagined.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

I installed the new sights the same way I removed the old. I tried to protect the finish by placing a cleaning patch between the brass punch and the sight, which slowed down the process but kept the sights looking good.<\/p>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

I stopped once I got each sight roughly centered on the slide. I wasn\u2019t too worried about exact precision, as I knew I\u2019d have to adjust the sights when I got to the range anyway.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The rear sight was a tight fit, but I eventually got it where it needed to be. Don\u2019t be shy with that hammer, though. It takes a few firm strokes to move the sight within the slide notch.<\/p><\/div>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"Piece<\/a>

Piece of cake!<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about it. It\u2019s always good to follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations (especially with firearms), but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary to take these sights to a gunsmith.<\/p>\n

Function and Durability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The rear sight is smaller than I had imagined, which reduces the size of the sight picture but also keeps the sight from being too obtrusive. I hadn\u2019t thought it would be possible to use these sights on a concealed carry gun, but I\u2019ve reconsidered that position. Depending on your style of carry, the Snake Eyes could easily be used on a concealed firearm.<\/p>\n

\"Here\u2019s<\/a>

Here\u2019s what it looks like with the slide back on the frame.<\/p><\/div>\n

The dots are tritium, which glow green in the dark. The orange ring is made of \u201coptical Lexan light pipes,\u201d which, according to Dead Ringer, glow during daylight and low light conditions but do not glow in total darkness. This is exactly what I discovered in my testing. The tritium dots glow brightly at low light and in darkness, and the orange ring only needs the aid of a flashlight to become visible. And since I can\u2019t imagine a time when I\u2019ll be firing without at least the aid of a flashlight, I think that\u2019s more than adequate.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is how the sights would appear in total darkness. You can see the orange ring disappears, but the tritium dots glow brightly.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is how the sights appear with only the aid of a flashlight.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard that this sighting system has a reputation for fragility. I showed the Snake Eyes to a long-time gunsmith at the range, and he immediately mentioned how the rear circle has a habit of breaking. That may be the case with products from other companies, but these sights by Dead Ringer are as solid as a rock. Both the front and rear are constructed from military-grade metal. I haven\u2019t been using the sights for long, but I can\u2019t imagine how I\u2019d break them. The relatively low profile of the rear sight also minimizes the chances of accidental snags or bumps. If you\u2019re considering these sights for your next upgrade, I wouldn\u2019t worry about dependability.<\/p>\n

At the Range<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s only so much you can learn dry firing at your office wall, so I was excited to test the Snake Eyes with some live ammunition. My first job at the range was to acclimate myself to the sights without worrying too much about accuracy. Each set of pistol sights is different, and I wanted to determine if these had any quirks.<\/p>\n

You can see from my first set of targets that the sights consistently pulled my shots to the left. Making horizontal corrections is a simple process, so I wasn\u2019t too concerned about this. (Pro Tip:<\/strong> To correct left-to-right alignment, the front sight follows the bullet and the rear sight moves in the opposite direction. In other words, if your shots are landing to the left, move the front sight to the left or the rear sight to the right).<\/p>\n

\"You<\/a>

You can see everything tended towards the left. (Distance: Seven yards).<\/p><\/div>\n

More troubling was the tendency for the sights to pull my shots high, which you can see from the middle and bottom-left targets. I tried to center my shots by moving the front sight down within the orange circle, but there isn\u2019t a way to adjust these sights for vertical inaccuracy.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>

When I placed the front sight directly in the middle of the rear circle, my shots tended to hit high. (Distance: Seven yards).<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>

When I tried to correct the problem, my shots tended to hit low. (Distance: Seven yards).<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

It was at this point I started to learn both the advantage and the disadvantage of these sights. Once I determined that the sights were pulling my shots high, it was easy to adjust the location of the front sight within the rear circle. The space within the circle is large enough to tell when you\u2019ve moved the front sight up or down. But I found it difficult to place the front sight in precisely the same location for the next shot. You can see from the top right and top left targets that when I tried to correct for shooting too high I tended to shoot too low. There\u2019s so much space within the rear sight that I couldn\u2019t determine exactly where to place the front sight.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a>

All that space within the rear circle can make it tough to place the front sight in exactly the same location for every shot.<\/p><\/div>\n

I ran into a similar problem with my next set of targets. I corrected the pull to the left, but I was never able to get consistent vertical accuracy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a great marksman with a pistol (or a rifle, for that matter), so don\u2019t take my poor shooting as a point against the Snake Eyes. Sighting systems aren\u2019t \u201caccurate\u201d or \u201cinaccurate.\u201d As long as they function correctly, the success of a pair of sights or a scope depends entirely on the shooter, firearm, and ammunition. But I do think the problem I faced\u2014not knowing quite where to place the front sight within the rear orange circle\u2014would trouble even the most experienced marksman.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"Here\u2019s<\/a>

Here\u2019s my target from 15 yards. I tended to shoot one high, one low, one high, one low, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"After<\/a>

After adjusting for horizontal accuracy, I began to get more acclimated to the sights. But it was still tough to get much consistency. (Distance: Seven yards).<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve explained the potential weakness of these sights, let me explain their strengths, which I think more than make up for the disadvantages I\u2019ve discussed so far.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, the Snake Eyes allow the shooter to acquire the target quickly. As per the Dead Ringer website, these sights are designed primarily for self-defense and close quarter combat situations. I discussed the accuracy difficulties I experienced because I knew that the average shooter would likely experience the same problems the first time at the range. But, ultimately, these sights are designed for a home defense or concealed carry handgun\u2014not for target shooting or hunting.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My hits are a little tough to see, but all of them except one were within a four-inch diameter in the middle of the target. (Distance: Seven yards).<\/p><\/div>\n

All that to say, I was pleased with how quickly I was able to acquire a target using these sights. I shot at the white target from seven yards, drawing and shooting as quickly as possible. As you can see, all but one of the shots would have hit center mass. (If you don\u2019t think that\u2019s good shooting, you should see my groups when I do this drill with standard three-dot sights.)<\/p>\n

Finally (and most importantly), difficult to use does not mean impossible to use. I had trouble placing the front sight in the exact same position for each shot, but I\u2019ve only worked with the sights once. With practice, I could no doubt improve my accuracy, making these sights both functionally precise and ideal for home defense and concealed carry. That\u2019s what I mean when I say the Snake Eyes have a high ceiling\u2014they take practice to use effectively, but you could very well end up with the best sights you\u2019ve ever owned.<\/p>\n

You can purchase the Snake Eyes by Dead Ringer here for $124.99<\/a>. They have models available for all the most popular handguns.<\/p>\n
