Heinie Sight

A ”’Heinie Sight”’ is falls into the same camp as a ViceGrip; it’s used as a generic name by some, but actually refers to a specific company’s product. The Heinie sight is made by Heinie Specialty Products. Generally referred to as a “Heinie Sight”, “Heinie Straight Eight Site”, or more simply a “straight eight”. It is only available for Semi-automatic Pistols, and features a normal blade sight picture with an additional dot in the depression of the sight. This lets the shooter light up the sight horizontally (left blade, dot, right blade) ”’and vertically”’ (two dots, thereby forming the “eight”) so it should be easier to line up (in theory).
