Actually I kind of like it. I think the multi-light model has too many things going on but having a blinking red light come on when you're down to the last few rounds might be handy, especially on a semiauto with a 10+ round capacity. I would like it on my HiPower but not one of my 1911s. For police use it would have to come on automatically and not be able to be reset w/o a supervisor's key.

After 30 years of competition with a 1911, the reloads come on time just by the background
brain process 'knowing" when it is time to refresh the feed trough, so to speak. Shooters do not
need, as Brad pointed out, any more distraction......although I would say from the FRONT sight.
Silly chit.

He just noted "under" the rear sight, not that that was his primary focus. Distracting as hell, in any event. I don't even like a loaded-chamber indicator below the rear sight because it draws my eye as I poke the pistol out in front of me.
I've never been much for the front sight technique for defensive shooting, too many years in the martial arts.

Grain of salt here guys,don't get in a panic.....
About 15 years ago,was listening to Jerry Miculek talk about his non front sight focus when shooting. He was coming from a lifetime of handgun shooting and was "trying" to further a notion that..... at some point,pick a number here,100,000? reps.... that the sight picture was so ingrained in his brain/muscle memory that he burns a hole with his focus into the target itself.
I'm no stranger to shooting handguns.... yadayada. And being brought up reading and studying the same handgun techniques as every other 60 sumthin y.o. So,in that way this interview obviously was gonna raise some eyebrows...... BUT,slam on the brakes. What he was sort of suggesting,and later retracted 'cause it isn't traditional dogma( he has better things to do than argue with folks)....... is a WELL propagated technique in instinctive archery...... boringly so. Not the technique but,the rehashing of it. And will say,without the chest pounding. We have "true instinctive".... "split vision"..... and "gap".
Miculek was describing split vision.... woohoo. But start talking that in handgun circles? That's just plain blasphemous. Jerry and his advisers? quickly got back to beating front sights into shooters. Have my opinions for his "retraction" but that's just how I see it(ha).
Twds the OP..... frankly,does not surprise me one iota. If it's new tech..... it must be good mentality. Anything to lessen practice and dedication is gonna sell. Instant gratification.
