A self-defense pistol is a contingency item. We select one, buy one, learn to use one, practice with one, and lug one around with us for one reason, that we hope never occurs – that one day we will have to defend ourselves, or perhaps defend someone else. If that situation ever develops, statistics have shown that rarely are gun battles won with a single shot, and that wounds are more likely than instantly fatal shots. In fact, there is a real possibility that you could find yourself in a defensive situation with one arm, hand, or shoulder disabled. With this in mind, we have developed a version of our Combat sight that enables single-handed slide manipulation – the Wilson Combat® Tactical Boot Sight.

The Tactical Boot Sight has a vertical face machined about the half-way point down the ramp of our combat sight. For single-handed slide operation, the vertical face can be lodged against any firm surface (such as an outside corner of a wall, a door jamb, your belt – or even your boot heel) where a firm push on the pistol grip will enable you to manipulate the slide.

If you are going to carry a weapon for a contingency – doesn’t it make sense to cover as many contingencies as possible?

The Tactical Boot Sight has a 40 lpi serrated rear face, and square-cut notch that is .140 inch wide, for the rapid target acquisition you need in a combat situation.
