Hey, I spend more than my fair share of time Dissing Brass Eagle.  But it's time to be fair.  I do use Brass Eagle products.  Maybe not their paintguns, though I wouldn't mind having a Rainmaker, and I'm prolly going to buy a Stingray II for my girlfriend to use.  I use and love their Xtreme 280 goggles.  But they are made by Leader, just sold under BE's name.  When I saw their Tru-Glo sight in the store I got to wondering about it.  My Vector has a raised sight rail.  Handy, but you do need a sight on it to get some mileage out of it.  Unfortunately it seems like a good portion of the time, when I take a hit, it's right about the top part of my gun.  I've had I don't know how many Daisy Point Sights blasted right off the top of my paintguns.  And the irratating thing about the Point Sights is that they don't work well at all if there is much light about.  Not so of Tru-Glo sights, the more light they got, the better they work.

     There's not much to the Tru-Glo.  Its a thermo-plactic base with a Tru-Glo insert in the top.  A clear plastic tube protects the insert from scratches.  The whole set-up appears to be virtually indestructable.  I strongly suspect that only a freak accident would do it any harm.  I gather that they are available in Red or Green though I was not able to locate a green one : ( .  The insert itself is smaller in diameter than the one used on the popular Hi-Viz sights.  I like this.  The big dot of the Hi-Viz hides small targets like protruding loaders, knees, and feet.   The Tru-Glo also has an inverted 'V' slot cut through it's base which allows you some chance to see through the body of the sight.  Styling is pretty nice with a clean high tech look.  I wish that the side profile weren't quite so blocky.  Other than that, it blends nicely with my Vector's lines and is a perfect match to the length of my sight rail.  It looks like it was made for the Vector.  Like the Hi-vis, there is no way of 'adjusting' the Tru-glo.  If your marker doesn't hit where the Tru-Glo 'points' then you must just simply remember to compensate.

     The Pro's:  It's dirt cheap.  $10 at Wally World.  That's half the price of the Hi-Viz.  Sight rail mount is a lot more 'natural' than something that clips to your barrel.  Very Tough.  Small 'dot' size doesn't obscure the target.  Low profile doesn't give your opponents a big target.  No Batteries, switches, or LED's to fail.   Lightweight.

      The Con's:  Non-adjustable.  Conventional sight rail mount gives a very poor sight radius.  This means if you aim just a little off your target, you miss by a greater distance.  This also means slower target acquisition.  Because it's not a conventional ramp and blade sight, it's possible to have the sight on the target but the barrel pointed in the wrong direction.  In this reguards, the Hi-Viz's barrel mount is a better solution.  Non interchangeable light tube.

     The Final Say:  It's well worth the money.  I've spent a lot more on variations of the Point Sight and gotten a lot less.  I just can't get comfortable with the design of the Hi-Viz.  I would end up knocking the thing completely off of the gun and losing it.  Someday I will build my own adjustable ramp and blade fiber optic sight and then I will have the ultimate paintball sight.
