First, it is called a ghost ring because the design was originally for long guns, when the large rear aperture was close enough to your eye to fuzz out. That is not the case when you mount that big ring on the back of a pistol.

Our brilliant fluorescent fiber optic Firesights are manufactured 100% here in our facility in Davison.

Fiber-optic sights pull this off by using an optical fiber that is transparent and flexible, often made of thin threads of plastic or glass about the size of a human hair. This optical fiber is able to transmit light along its fibers, making fiber-optic sights a great choice for a handgun or pistol.

Broad daylight is when fiber optics work the best. During a bright day, when the sun is shining, fiber optic sights glow bright and provide an excellent sight picture. Even when using them at an indoor range the fibers will not be nearly as bright and visible as when shooting outdoors in daylight.

Fiber-Optic sights are reflective and work well for low-light settings. Fiber-optic sights are not only a great option for handgun sights, they are also used for shotgun sights. A front sight is pretty much your only option with shotguns, and as a result, you often get a bead on the end of a barrel and that’s it.

The aperture sight makes use of a hole or ring at the rear and a front post, which should be placed in the center of the ring. A ghost ring sight uses a very thin ring at the rear sight that almost disappears when the shooter looks through the ring up close, which is why it has been dubbed the “ghost ring” sight.
