quetza Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hello, I'm Quetza and I'm a mechanical engineer. I always wanted to create my own airsoft product but never came out with something sturdy and useful. Right now I finished one of my prototypes and would like to know what is public opinion on it. poll. Thanks for your time. Quetza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted December 5, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted December 5, 2018 Looks nice. I made my own too by drilling out some stock TM Glock sights and then inserting some tritium tubes off eBay (around 8 quid each I believe). Assume you're thinking of using similar tubes here too? I would also conceal the end pointing away from the shooter. You don't want to show up as a glowing dot in the dark at some urban sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin proffrink Posted December 5, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted December 5, 2018 Long time ago but I'll see what I can do.

quetza Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hello, I ordered them here, I think they are even cheaper: tritium The dot is not as bright as you may think, from 2 meter away it's almost impossible to see, specially if you choose red. Anyway you can always put a black sticker or black blu tac, which I did for my rear sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Why does the Glock look so much like a rendering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted December 5, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted December 5, 2018 First two and last images are renders. Other isn't. Also I bought white tubes and set them inside white Sugru (the hole was around 3mm vs. the 1.5 of the tube) so that I can see them very clearly in normal light conditions. I would not recommend having just the tube as it won't be bright enough for most situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quetza Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I add an image where you can see the different light levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
