    Looking to move up from my current 3 pin sight to a 5 pin sight. Looking at either the Cypher 5, Punisher 5, or the Hit Man 5. Maybe it's because I haven't been shooting long enough but I'd like to know the difference between the 3 sights. I know the pin sizes are different and one gets more light from the fiber being wrapped around the front of the sight but not much more than that. You guys/gals got anything more for me? Thanks.

    why so many pins? If you are shooting at that many different ranges get the one pin that adjusts to many distances...but to each his own. I don't like seeing a bunch of stuff cluttered up in the sight picture...

    I like the 5 pin sight because it gives me a greater range of known distances to shoot. Not a fan of the one pin sight, that seems like more work to me right now. If you have a one pin sight and your target is not at that distance it seems you would have to adjust the pin then take the shot, giving the target time to get away.

    Multiple pins don't clutter my sight picture.

    I have the hitman 5 and couldnt be happier. I dont care for the slider one pin sights because we know how fast things happen sometimes and having to worry about changing the yardage isnt something i want on my mind.
